Checks will be mailed out within two weeks of the close of the sale.

    1. Where can I find white cardstock?

Cardstock can be purchased at most hobby and office supply stores. Michaels, Jo-Ann’s Fabrics and Hobby Lobby have a large selection. Do not purchase the extra thick stock because it may be too thick for your printer.

    1. Where can I find wire hangers?

Wire hangers can often be purchased at dry cleaning stores at a discounted price. They can also be found at Walmart, Target and dollar stores.

    1. How do I go about pricing my items?

We recommend pricing your clothing items for 25-75% of their original price. Baby gear, toys and current in demand items may sell for 50% of their original price. On the final day of the sale, you have the option to mark all or some of your items for 50%off. An extremely useful pricing guide can be found on Consignmentmommies.com

    1. How do I tag my items?

After you have registered as a consignor you may begin to input your items into the program. Prepare washed clothing on wire hangers and attached the printed barcode tags with a tagging gun or safety pin. For toys and larger items, attached the barcode tag with packing tape. Do not place tape over the barcode. To see all tagging instructions, click here.

    1. What will happen at drop off and how long will it take?

All items will be inspected at drop off to be certain they are stain free and in working order. Please do not be offended if an item is declined. We strive to put forth excellent items to sell and feel if you would not buy it, do not sell it. Once the items have been inspected you will be asked to place your items on the sale floor. The entire process will take 20 to 30 minutes.

    1. Where will happen to my unsold items?

You have the option to pick up unsold items or to mark the tag to donate. Items that are not sold and that are marked donate will be donated to the charity we have chosen and that is listed in the consignor agreement.

    1. How will I know if my items have sold?

At the close of each sale day you will be able to look up the items that have sold on the My Sales Manager software.

    1. Will consigning be worth my time?

While consigning may seem like a lot of work, it can be very profitable and will become easier as you become more familiar with the process.
