Consignor Questions
Who can consign their items and become a seller? Everyone is welcome to consign their children’s items. This sale is open to the public.
What percentage of the sales do I receive? Sellers receive 65% of their sales less a $10. You may volunteer to earn up to 75% of your sales.
What percentage of my items can I expect to sell? Most sellers sell approximately 85% of their items in sizes 2-10. For sizes under 24 months the percentage drops due to the sheer volume of merchandise received. The older sizes also will sell a lower percentage as children become pickier as they get older.
Where do I find safety pins/ hangers? Most dry cleaners will give you a modest amount of these items free. If you need a lot, ask if you can buy them. Children’s hangers are also sold at Wal-Mart in a 10 pack for about $1.00. Please try to put size 4 and under on child-sized hangers and size 5 and above on regular sized hangers.
