Here's how it works
- 1st time suppliers must have an
appointment. Review our preparation guidelines,
round up your items and give us a call to set your
appointment. If you're not sure what to bring give us a
call and we can let you know what we're accepting at that
time. Our busiest consigning months are Feb/March &
Sept/October so call early for an appt during those months.
Bringing Items in
-
When selecting merchandise, our customers' preferences, past sales and current stock must
be our guidelines. We select only the best.
Sometimes there will be items that we cannot accept.
Please do not be offended! When
we set high standards - everyone benefits!
We no longer limit the amount you can bring in per
appointment as long as it is presorted and meets our criteria
below. Remember, we're not looking for garage sale merchandise
- bring only your best.
Pre-Approved Consignors a
"Drop & Run". We do ask that if you are doing a
"Drop & Run" that you limit it to 1 laundry basket or so, as
we have many appointments to accommodate. Remember
- you must presort to our criteria and come back for your "No Thank You's" within a few
days or they will be donated as we have very little storage
space. We can call you back with a cash/Store Credit
price once we sort through it - or you may consign current
season items.
Get Paid in Cash or Store Credit
- We now have 3 ways to get paid! Cash,
20% more for store credit
or Consignment.
Cash is a great quick way to get those unwanted things out
of your home and put cash in your pocket! Store Credit
will stretch your shopping dollar even further as we add 20%
on top of your cash price. Store Credit can be used that
day or whenever - it never expires.
We will look at any season most anytime, but you can only
consign current season items. Off-season items
will only receive a cash or store credit offer.
Consignment terms -
We will display your items for 75 days unless they are dropped
off near our seasonal clearance months. of Jan for winter and
July for summer. A .15 cent tagging fee is withdrawn
only if the item sells. You'll receive
45% of the final selling price and 50% for "NEW WITH TAG"
clothing items selling for more than $19.95 - as long as
your clothing comes in as stated above ready for the sales
floor. Items needing
attention will receive a lower % of final selling price so it
pays to do your part. Discount brands (Walmart/KMart)
only receive 25%.
*Final price excludes a store fee paid by the purchaser
that is added to each item before it goes to the sales floor.
This fee helps support our local schools! When we ring up
the sale we ask the purchaser which school they would
like to support and donate a potion of the sale to that school
in the form of As Good As New! Gift Cards.
Check out the schools we
currently support.
After 75 days unsold items expire (See "Unsold
Items" below) and become store property for the
final clearance rack, donation or bag sale with proceeds to
charity.
Clothing Preparation - Items
should be ready to place on the sales floor. Winkles do
not sell!!!! The more time you
spend on details, the faster it will sell, which means the more
money it will bring! Tennis shoes need
to be run through the washer and the rest need to be polished.
If clothing has been crated or in your closet for a while,
it's best to freshen them up in the dryer with a fabric
softener sheet for a bit, then hang on hangers (You'll get
them back) or lay clothing flat or folded once over for
minimal wrinkles in a laundry basket or tote.
Acceptable Clothing Items
- Family namebrand clothing from Infant on up to Woman's XXL. When
selecting items ask yourself "Is this something I would buy
for my family?" We are not looking for garage sale
merchandise. Items that are torn, missing buttons,
stained, faded, piled or smells of smoke or other odors, will
not be accepted. Clothes need to be in style and
therefore should have been purchased in the last few
seasons. So, if it's been in your closet for many years it's
safe to say it's probably not what we're looking for! Clothing should be in-season, gently worn,
freshly laundered, and on hangers or neatly folded in a box or laundry
basket.
No grocery or trash bags!
We are
looking for department store, name brand family clothing for kids,
and Mom's and Dad's too. Items like Gap, Baby Gap, Gymboree,
Little Me, Old Navy, Nike, Reebok, Tommy and such (Minimal
Wal-Mart
or KMart accepted with a 25% payout)
Items we don't have much luck with...
In addition to clothing, accessories &
shoes ... we're also looking for
CURRENT Maternity wear,
cribs, rockers, dressers, sporting goods, books, tapes, CD's,
electronic games, toys, software, outdoor play equipment and
more, all in excellent-nearly new condition. Check out what
we're looking for and what sells best.
Due to liability reasons, we are no longer taking used
carseats. ALL STROLLERS, HIGH CHAIRS and large
outdoor equip need to be CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN! We suggest
taking them to the car wash. Items are subject to a
cleaning fee if needed.
Pricing - We base prices on
supply and demand and will work hard to get the best possible
prices for you. However, we do reserve the right to take markdowns and run sales. Generally we
price items 1/4 to 1/2 of it's original retail price with
markdowns every 20 days If
you have a special item that you'd like a firm price on,
please let us know and we'll see if we can accept it. Original price documentation
(Printed receipt, catalog page) is helpful.
Unsold Items - We work very
hard to display and sell your items but after a reasonable amount of
time of being discounted down, it's time to let them go!
All unsold expired items become store property to final 99
cent clearance, donate or hold for our Bag Sale.
Each year we clearance out with a bag or rack sale with proceeds going to
our local charities or the local veterinarians! We will,
however, make exceptions if the item is very expensive or new.
Let us know if you have such an item and we will return it to
you.
If you still would rather your unsolds NOT go to Charity -
we can tag your account as "Return" . You will be given a date
that you must call by to check on your account. If there
are unsold items on your account we will pull them for
you and have them ready for pickup. (24 hours notice needed)
Items will be held for only 7 days. Unclaimed items will be
donated as we have very limited storage.
Payment - Stop in for money
owed you at anytime - we can normally pay on the spot!
If for some reason we've had lots of payouts that day, we'll
write you a check that you can cash at the local Lyndon State
Bank immediately. We can also mail checks with a minimum
$25 balance by request.
Loss
-We
are careful and trustworthy, and encourage our customers to be
also, but cannot be held liable for fire, theft or damage to
merchandise. Check with your agent to see if your
Homeowners Policy will cover your items.
That's about it! We look forward to a long, happy,
profitable partnership!
