Shoppers
Do
I have to pay for admission to the sale or parking? There
is no charge for admission or parking at any of our
sales. What
will I find at the sale? We
never know exactly what items will be at the sale
until check-in starts, but if kids use it, we're
likely to have it. We always have clothes in
sizes from preemie to juniors and maternity, shoes
& accessories, toys for children of all ages,
outdoor toys, nursery & children's furniture,
bedding, bath & feeding supplies, books, videos,
games, strollers, and so much more! When
is the sale open to the public? The
Louisville sale will be open Friday, August 22 from 9 AM to 6 PM and
Saturday, August 23 from 9 AM
to Noon with many items half price. The
Elizabethtown sale will be open Friday, September 5 from 9 AM to 6 PM and Saturday,
September 6 from 9 AM
to Noon with many items half price. How
can I shop early? Our
sellers and workers shop first. You do not have
to sell items in order to work a shift and shop the
special worker's presale. We also have a limited
number of passes for our new parents presale for
families who are expecting or have a child under 18
months. Can I
bring my stroller? You
may bring your stroller, but be aware that the sale
can get very crowded during peak shopping times.
Most parents find it easier to bring a list of sizes
and leave their children elsewhere while they
shop. If you do bring your children, please keep
them with you at all times. Can
I try items on? We
do not have dressing rooms and items cannot be tried
on for security reasons. How
often do you have sales? We
have a spring and fall sale in both Elizabethtown and
Louisville usually
in February/March and September. What
payment methods are accepted? We
accept cash and Visa or Mastercard. We do not accept personal checks. All sales are
final. Sellers What
is consignment? Consignment
means that we're selling your items for you in
exchange for a percentage of your sales. We
think you'll find our seasonal consignment sale is a great way to
make more money on your items with less work than garage
sales, eBay, Craigslist, or even traditional
consignment stores. Why
are you so strict about quality? Why can't I
sell "playclothes"? Our
shoppers have very high expectations and come to our
sales to purchase in-style, very gently used items at
reasonable prices. Having out of style or
stained items on the racks is a waste of everyone's
time. Please don't be offended if we turn away
some of your items, keeping our quality level
extremely high will be a good thing for all sellers in
the long run. How
much will I make? Sellers
will make 70% of each item's selling price, minus a $10
registration fee. Sellers who also work a
volunteer shift (4 hours) will have their fee waived
and sellers who work two volunteer shifts (8 hours)
will have their fee waived and earn 75% on their
items. When
will I get my money? Your
check will be ready when you come to pick-up any
unsold items. If you choose to donate all unsold
items, we'll mail your check the week after the sale. How
many items may I bring? For
now, there is no limit on how many total items you
bring to the sale as long as they all meet our strict
quality standards. There is a limit of 25 items
in "junior" sizes and 25 items in
"maternity" sizes. Choose your best,
most current 25 items! What
is the difference in Standard and Drop-N-Go Check-in? Drop-N-Go
check-in is quicker. You will carry your items
into the sale location and leave them with us to
inspect later. Any items that do not pass
inspection will be returned to you at the end of the
sale. You will need to sign a release of
liability for any missing or damaged items, something
that is very rare at our sales. Standard
check-in requires you bring an inventory sheet and
your items must be in item number order. We'll
check all items against your inventory sheet during
inspection. Since we know exactly which items
were accepted for the sale, we will guarantee those
items against loss or damage. You'll need to
check everything very closely when you come to pick-up
unsold items and let us know of any problems right
then. Do
I need to be present for the entire sale? You
do not have to stay with your items during the
sale. You just need to prepare and tag them,
then bring them to check-in. We'll do the rest! Will
I get my hangers back? All
clothing needs to be on hangers. We will not
remove items from hangers at check-out, so they will
not be returned to you. Do
I have to search for my unsold items at pickup? When
you return to pickup any unsold items and your check,
everything will be neatly sorted into a pile for
you. We won't make you dig through all the
unsold items to find your own. What
if I want to donate my unsold items? No
problem - we'll handle the donation for you.
We'll even mark your items as "donated" in
the MyConsignment
Manager system so you'll have records
for your taxes. How
will I know which items sold? The
MyConsignment
Manager system will allow you to track each
item as sold, not sold, or donated. You can even
log-in each night to see what items sold that day at
the sale. Can
I hand-write my tags? All
items must be tagged using the MyConsignment
Manager system. Your tags will print
with a barcode on them, which we'll scan at
checkout. The system is very easy to use and
makes the entire sale process go much faster. Can
I sell in more than one of your sales? If
you would like to participate in more than one sale, or have
items tagged from another sale using MyConsignment
Manager, send
us an email after you
register to let us know. We'll try to
give you the same seller number for all sales,
eliminating the need to retag your items between
sales. Workers Do
I have to be a seller in order to work and shop early? Anyone
can work at the sale to earn early shopping privileges.
Just use the MyConsignment
Manager system and choose "register me
as a worker only". If you change your mind
and decide to sell items too, you'll need to contact
us to get a seller number. How
much earlier do workers get to shop? Workers
who give us two shifts (8 hours) shop first and
workers who give us one shift (4 hours) start shopping
just an hour later. Sellers who do not work will
enter the presale an hour after the one shift workers. All
workers are also invited to a special presale for
half-price items. See the sale
schedule for exact timing of presales. Can
I bring my kids while I work my shift? You
need to arrange for childcare while you are working
during the sale. We simply aren't equipped to
provide childcare and you'll be too busy working to
supervise them properly. Many moms team up with
another family to work different shifts and watch each
other's kids. Can
my husband work instead of me? We'd
be happy to put your spouse to work in your
place! We especially need some muscle on our
set-up and tear down shifts. Just think, he'll
do the work, you get to shop! |
