WHAT IS CONSIGNING
You bring your gently used merchandise, clean and ready to sell with tags & hangers to our sale, we organize the sale, advertise, man the sale, set up, clean up and send you a check within 2 weeks of the sale for 65-75% of your sales. You must register ahead of time and get a consignor ID. Then you input your stuff into our system and print out barcoded tags. All clothing items must be hung up. You do not have to stay with your stuff, because you have tagged each of your items with your unique barcode. We organize the sale by type and gender, not by consignor. People shop like they would in a store.
