New This Sale
DROP OFF BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
Both drop-off days will now be BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. In order to have your items included in the sale, you must schedule a drop-off appointment through your consignor homepage once you have registered to be a consignor for the upcoming sale.
DROP OFF TIMES:
◦ Tuesday, March 20 from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM
◦ Wednesday, March 21 from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM
DROP OFF AT TWO LOCATIONS
In an attempt to make the pre-sale shopping experience more enjoyable and less crowded, we will be housing furniture and art across the street at the North 2nd entrance of 202 Pine during the first weekend of the sale. This will require that we have 2 drop off locations. Come first to the alley behind 181 Pine to unload clothing, shoes, purses, accessories, dishes, bedding, and home décor. Then come to the front of the building to complete your paperwork and check in. Wait in this building until you hear your consignor number called. At that time, you will be given back any items that are unacceptable and asked to help hang and display items that are accepted.
Next, if you have furniture and/or hanging art or mirrors, you will drop those items off across the street at the North 2nd entrance of 202 Pine. These items will be inspected upon delivery. You are asked to bring your own muscle to unload furniture.
*If you only have furniture and art, be sure you check in at 181 Pine and complete your paperwork before you unload at 202 Pine.
MORE THAN 3 PIECES OF FURNITURE
As a consignor, you set the prices for your items. However, if you bring more than 3 pieces of furniture we require that you email Summer a picture or description of the items, the prices you set, and whether you are going half off or not. Because we have limited space, we have to make sure things are priced to sell.
RETURNING ITEMS
Also, if you have had items in at least 2 prior sales and they have not sold, you must considerably reduce the price. Again, we want to help you make money and we are limited on space.
ITEM ENTRY DEADLINE
The deadline for entering your items online is Monday, March 19th at 8:00 PM. Any items that are not entered and submitted by this time will not be included in the spring sale.
ITEM LIMITS
Clothing: Limited to 70 items
Jeans: Limited to 8 pairs (of the 70 clothing items)
Shoes: Limited to 10 pairs
Jewelry: Limited to 20 pieces
We will continue to accept dish and glassware sets as well as serving pieces. (Dish and glassware sets need to have 4 or more plates or glasses in a set. Serving pieces include platters, cake stands, etc. but not flatware, utensils, cookware, tupperware or small appliances.)
We will also continue to nice floral arrangements, aprons, kitchen linens, and shower curtains.
Reminders From Last Sale
ENTER YOUR TAGS ONLINE
We are happy to have an online tagging system in place . You will be able to enter your items online and print your own barcode tags. Read the CONSIGN instructions carefully as this process will be different from our previous sales.
JUNIORS, MISSES, WOMEN’S, & BOUTIQUE
After each sale, we reevaluate what we can do to make the shopping experience better. In an attempt to eliminate having to look through so many racks for your size and style of clothes, we will be arranging clothing into several new categories:
Juniors: Tween and Teen styles (Aeropostale, Hollister, etc. sizes 3, 5, 7, 9, etc.)
Misses: Youthful trendy styles (Ex: Anthropologie, Forever 21, GAP, Banana Republic, J. Crew, etc.)
Women’s: Mature styles (Ex: Coldwater Creek, J. Jill, department stores, etc.)
Plus: All styles, sizes 20 and up
Maternity: All sizes & styles of maternity clothing
Formals: All sizes & styles of formalwear
Boutique: All sizes & styles of expensive, name-brand clothing, purses, and jewelry priced $50 or more (except formals)
Consignors will categorize your own clothes as you enter your items. We realize that this will be a judgement call in some circumstances as to whether an item fits better in the Misses or Women’s section, but we trust that you will place your items in the section where the women looking for that style will be shopping. It is just a guide to help our shoppers find what they are looking for. If you have questions about this as you begin entering your items, feel free to email us.
HANDMADE ITEMS
We received several handmade items this sale including magnets, flower pins, headbands, and hand painted canvases. We loved the creativity that our consignors were able to share. We will be allowing handmade items, but may limit the number we put out on the floor at one time based on our limited space. If the items are large, please understand that we will do our best to display what we can but will have to set some in the back if there is room and pull them out as more space opens up. If you have a question as to whether we can accept your handmade items, please email us before you make them!
VOLUNTEERS
Volunteer sign-ups will now be done online! You can access the schedule through your consignor homepage.
We are grateful for all of our volunteers! We know the sale would not be possible without your help, hard work, and great attitudes. We have added a worker agreement, so be sure to read over our new worker policies before selecting your shifts.
We will no longer be serving food to our volunteers and counting meal delivery as a barter shift. We have had trouble filling up our regular volunteer shifts so we need to fill our primary positions before we can add meals back in as a barter. Volunteers will be asked to bring their own food and drink with them when they come. Sorry for the inconvenience! We hope to be able to add this again as we get more volunteers.
