Open 5 days a week! Tuesday - Saturday 10am-5pm - CLOSED Sunday & Monday
We accept walk-in consignments Tuesday-Friday from 10:00-4:00 where you may bring in up to 5 items of in-season clothing and one small box of only the best housewares, furnishings, or home décor for our consideration.
PLEASE DO NOT BRING IN EXTRA - this is a VERY BUSY time of year and it's difficult to keep up with hundreds of items coming in daily when walk-in limits aren't followed so, please help me out by sticking to them!
No oversized boxes or totes please. Smaller manageable amounts only!
No New Consignors - Sorry we are NOT taking on new consignors currently.
Our store and backroom are fully stocked, so please keep in mind that we are accepting very few items currently.
Welcome to our busiest time of the year! Our store and backroom are fully stocked, so please keep in mind that we are accepting very few items currently.
ONE WALK-IN OR APPOINTMENT PER WEEK, PER CONSIGNOR
Please understand that with hundreds of consignors we need to make sure everyone has the same opportunity to bring in items to sell.
(If you bring in more than the allowed amounts, please understand that we may need to cancel any future appointments in order to keep our store from becoming too overloaded and to give others a chance.)
If Saturday is the only day that you're available, then please feel free to talk to Kayla about scheduling an appointment that works for you!
Come right into the store and Kayla will assist you at our intake counter located in the back.
Enjoy taking a look around the shop while we look over your items and select those we feel have the best chance of selling. Please understand that our current inventory guides our selection process, and we may not accept some items that we would normally take. Bring only your best for our consideration!
We will give you back any no-thank you items before you leave.
*Please keep in mind that all items brought in for consignment WILL NOT be placed on the sales floor immediately. We stay busy processing high volumes of great merchandise and will continue to work hard; we want your items to sell!
** As soon as items have been entered into the system, they will be given an item number and will be available for you to follow by clicking CHECK MY ACCOUNT.
(Give us a call or send us an email if you need a reminder of your consignor number, needed to log in to view your account online.)
Our consignment period is 8 weeks from the time item is ticketed or until the end of current season, whichever comes first.
For those who choose to receive cash (instead of store credit consignors) you may request a payout for money owed to you at any time. Cash is paid for balances under $25 or checks are written at your request for amounts over $25 (a mailing fee deducted if you choose to have us mail it to you). Your profit is available to you immediately after an item sells and does not expire.
Please stop in to collect your earnings by Saturday, December 23, 2023, our last business day in this calendar year before winter break. Checks will be mailed after that for any balances not picked up over $10 and a check printing/mailing fee will be deducted. A blast reminder email will be sent out in December to all consignors with a balance.
It is not necessary to retrieve unsold items after time has expired, we donate to a number of great non-profit organizations.
If you choose to pick up unsold items, 48 hours' notice is required to allow us enough time to pull them for you. A 25¢ retrieval fee will be deducted from your account for each item picked up to help offset the cost of processing, labeling, and the time that we put into tagging every item.
No, right now we ARE NOT accepting donations due to how much backstock is currently in the store. Please check back at a later date to see when we may begin accepting items again.
