clothing

  • Be  sure all clothing items are of current style, free of stains, odors, rips, and stains.  All items will be screened at Drop-Off and returned to the consignor if found to be of lesser quality than we strive for our sale.
  • Secure all buttons and zippers
  • ​Hang  he garment on the hanger with the hook facing to the left, like  a question mark. Hang strappy tops onto a velvet or notch top hanger so  they don't slip. Please do NOT pin the item to the hanger.  
  • Hang pants and skirts on a clip hanger only.
  • Affixing the price tag: only pin the tag to the manufacturers label or through a  button hole.  Be sure not to damage a garment when tagging.  Whenever possible, affix the price tag to the front left of the  garment.
  • View the tutorial videos at the bottom of this page.
  • Each consignor may bring unlimited shoes handbags, jewelry, and accessories, and up to 300 hanging garments.

​

shoes


  • All  shoes must be of current trend and without damage or excessive wear. Of  course soles may show some natural wear but this must not be excessive.   We strive to keep the quality of the sale high so shoppers can count  on us!
  • You  may bring shoe boxes but non-luxury brand shoes will be displayed  without their boxes.  Luxury items should include box, dust bag, and  documents showing authenticity whenever possible.
  • ​Affixing  the price tag: some options are to tape the price tag to the bottom of  the shoe or zip tie it to a buckle or around a strap. Be sure the  customer is able to easily try on the shoes.


  • Do  not zip tie or tape shoes together.  Shoes will be placed on the rack  together and this makes it easy for buyers to try them on.


  • View the tutorial video at the bottom of this page.

jewelry


  • Use your ribbon, string, or zip ties to affix price tags to jewelry. Putting jewelry in baggies is fine with the tag inside the bag as well.
  • Remember shoppers will want to touch and possibly try on jewelry so keep this in mind as your prepare and tag.
  • View the tutorial video at the bottom of this page.

handbags

  • Luxury goods should come with dust bag and papers of authenticity whenever possible.
  • Clean the inside and outside of your bag so it shows well.  Use Febreze for any odors.
  • Stuff your bag lightly with some tissue paper as most bags show better when this is done.
  • Affixing the price tag: Punch a hole in the tag then use  a zip tie, a tagging gun, or sturdy ribbon/string to affix the tag to  the handbag.   Do not place pins through the material as this may damage  the item.

pricing guideline

As a consignor, you decide what to price your items. This guide has been created to give 

you a reference to help you SELL!  A good rule of thumb is to price items at 25‐35% of what 

you paid for each item depending on brand name and condition of item but also take into consideration that most chain store and some boutique brands go on DEEP SALE at the end of the season and that should be taken nto consideration when pricing. For example, a dress that you purchased for $100 in season would have been marked down to $40 at the end of season, therefore $40 is your starting price).


Ask yourself a few questions when pricing using these guidelines... 

  • Is this item from this year and still on trend?  Add $3-5


  • Is your item NEW with Tags? YES, Add 20‐30%


  • Price as if you were the shopper and price to SELL! Ask yourself, "How much would I pay for this?” 
  • See our list of Accepted Items  where we highlight a pricing pyramid from most coveted to least.


This guide is only for reference and YOU are in charge.
