If I have consigned before, do I need a new seller #?
No, you may use your number received in the recent past. Your existing consignor number is linked to your email address on file. It will automatically populate during the registration process. If your email address has changed, please email us before continuing so you can keep your existing number.
How should I price my items to sell?
If you do not want the items back, price them accordingly. Remember it is a used/gently used item and people will view it as such. A good rule of thumb is 25-30% of the original price. When in doubt in pricing an item, "go low". Please use dollar and half-dollar increments (i.e. $4.00 or $4.50; NOT $4.25). Minimum price: $1.00.
How should I tag my items?
To insure your item does not get detached from its tag please secure with tape and/or ziploc bags for little pieces. Please secure clothing with safety pins only. If the tag gets misplaced we are unable to sell the item. For additional instructions, review our preparing your items page. Or click here to watch our video!
Please do not use red ink on your tags. Use black or blue ink only.
