All the questions you had about consignment and some you didn't!
-
What is consignment? The main difference between a consignment store and your local thrift store is that our inventory is not donated to us. Instead it is consigned. By this we mean that every item in our store belongs to someone else. We have a contract that states that to the best of our ability we are going to price, display and sell your gently used items. As a consignment store we strive to create that "real store" feel: cleanliness, organization, color coordination, and selection. Of course the fun part is that we never know what's coming in so our inventory is always changing. This means better selection for you and a higher turnover of clothing.
-
Why are so many items in your store new with the original tags? Ahh the best part about consignment is this aspect. Even if you don't do gently used you can still shop consignment. Over 30% of our inventory has the original tags. Why? Because it didn't fit, we were having a moment, mood shopping etc..you name it. Women don't need an excuse to shop but oh how we hate returning items. Thus the full circle you consign the item, get money out of it to buy something you will wear and someone get's an AWESOME deal.
-
Why do you not negotiate or barter? We spend alot of time researching the market and our clients needs. This includes styles, prices and current trends. With this knowledge we price our items at anywhere from 40% to 90% off the original price. We work hard to price it right the first time, no color tags and we are proud to say that over 85% of it sells within the first 35 days. Of coursewe have special events and big sales, but we never negotiate or barter at the counter. After all, would you want us to barter with one of your items we were selling for you?
-
What sizes and departments do you specialize in? Because of our super awesome consigners whom we love to death and wouldn't be here without, we have an awesome selection of Ladies, Plus, Teen, Formals & Home Decor. We have numerous racks and sizes in each department to give you a large selection to choose from when you come to shop with us. With that being said our sizes are as follows: Juniors (0-13) Ladies (2-14) Plus (16-28) Formals (all sizes)
-
Do you only accept designer items? No, our motto is "from Gap to Gucci we've got you covered." Got a couple of cute Target tops that have never been worn...bring them in. Of course the better sellers come from the department stores to the boutiques. Main stream labels like Chico's, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, etc are what sell best for us and what we have the biggest demand for. Of course we love our LV, Prada & Fendi items too. Those just sell so darn fast!
-
What do you need? What sells the fastest? We need everything- this is what makes consignment fun. Hands down the fastest sellers that we can NEVER have too much of our accessories: Shoes, Jewelry & Purses!
-
How can I consign if I live out of state? Well first of all thank you for going to such lengths to do business with us. We promise to not disappoint. We have quite a few out of state consigners. We will send you a contract, set you up with an account and wait for you to ship your items. It's worth the shipping we promise!
-
Why can I not pick up my unsold items at the end of the consignment period? First of all any item that we price at $50 or more, if in the case that it doesn't sell you are more than welcome to pick it up. But due to high volume we do not offer pick ups on your unsold items. Any item that does not sell will be donated to charity and you will receive a tax donation slip on which you may put the purchase price on. We have found this method to be alot easier for everyone involved and not a problem since most items sell within the 60 day period. Should an item sell outside of the 60 day mark we will still credit your account.
