You, our crew & consignors, are our BEST inspectors! So, we’re going to pay you to do it! What? Yep! Carefully inspect all your items at home (and again when you put it in the car and one more time when you take it out and then again when you place it on the sales floor!) because your fellow consignors/shoppers now make $$$ on your mistakes.
Crew & Consignor shopping time is now known as INSPECT & SHOP. Seriously, you’re sifting through those racks with a fine tooth comb anyway so we’re going to pay you $1 in shopping credit/coupon for every “not up to par” item you find and pull off the rack. AND . . .we’ll charge that dollar to the seller whose item it is (subtracted from proceeds) Fines are doubled if you have more than 5 sub-par items.
Note: Presale Shoppers who are not consignors can also cash in on this coupon! We put up signs throughout the venue specifically inviting them to search! To avoid fines, you must thoroughly inspect your items and pledge to bring us only your best. And finally . . .don’t forget that items returned as broken or with missing pieces incur BIG fines (1.5 times the price of the item!) Double jeopardy: if you have more than 5 items “turned in” then those fines double!! It’s definitely in your best interest to inspect your own things and bring only your best!

Please please please read the guide on this. It’s updated! (there’s a 20 item limit per seller on Teen Girls sizes) AND it’s the easiest that it has ever been. Use the categories Teen Girl Clothing and Teen Boy Clothing Both genders now have the S,M,L sizing options. REACH OUT if you need clarification! Find that guide HERE

Use the categories Infant Clothing-Boy and Infant Clothing-Girl for all clothing that is sized Preemie through 18-24m. There is a 50 item limit per gender across the entire range of infant sizes for most of our events. This limit is even lower at our Holiday Sale.
We limit the amount of infant clothing we accept because we know how much of it we can sell! There are a lot of great NWT/ never worn/got it as a gift pieces!
Pricing competitively is super important in these sizes.
