How to Become a Consignor with Consign Clothing: FAQ

​
Q: How do I become a consignor with Consign Clothing?
A: First, you must register through our online portal. There are limited spots available, so please only register if you are going to consign clothing. You wouldn't want to reserve a spot that goes unused and prevent someone else from selling. 
​
Q: What kind of inventory can I sell?
A: All types of women's, men's and children's clothing, accessories, coats, sweaters, books, household items and decor, costumes, hats, shoes, jeans, sporting equipment, purses and handbags, scarves and belts, sunglasses and costume jewelry.  Just make sure everything is in good condition with no pilling, no rips, and no stains.
​
Q: What is my consignor split?
A: DIY Consignors earn 40% of their sales, VIP Consignors earn 30%.  ​​​
​
Q: How do I decide if I should be a DIY or VIP consignor?
A: Here is the difference:
DIYs do all their own pricing, prepping and tagging, and make an appointment to bring their inventory to the Gym on Feb 21st for the sale. They make 40% profit. 
 
VIPs-  Just choose an available appointment online for VIP drop off for any date prior to Feb 11th and OUR TEAM does all the pricing, prepping, listing and hanging.  Don't wait to reserve your appointment, because once the appointments are gone, we will no longer be able to take any additional VIP consignors.  We recommend you  choose a VIP appointment when you register.  VIPs make 30% profit and the cost for this service is $25 for up to the first 40 items. This will be due at time of clothing drop off.  For up to every additional 40 items over the initial 40 items, there will be an additional $20 supply fee. This will be deducted from your final earnings.
​
Q: Do I need a drop-off appointment?
A: Yes! Drop-off is by appointment only, taking approximately 15-30 minutes depending on availability. Log into your consignor account to select an available appointment time. There are limited spaces available, so please reserve your preferred drop off time soon. 
​
Q: What if I want to participate and I have clothing but I don't have time to input, price and tag my clothing? 
A: We have a VIP tagging service that you can use.  Find out more information about it below.
​
 

Q: I have all my clothes and items ready. How do I get started? 
A: First, register online. Once you are logged in, click ADD ITEMS and follow the prompts to quickly add your items.  It should only take about 1 minute per item. ​
​
Q: What supplies do I need to tag my clothing?
A:  You may need, depending on what you are consigning:

•     Cardstock paper (white)

•     Zip ties, string, or ribbon

•     Safety pins (NO stick pins) or tagging gun

•     Ziploc bags

•     Clear packing tape

•     Masking tape or painter's tape

•     Hangers (these will not be returned to you)

We suggest you read through the instructions before gathering your supplies as you may not need everything listed. For example if all of your items are on hangers, you won't need Ziploc bags. Zip ties can be found in the electrical section of Home Depot, or Lowes and sometimes at the Dollar Store for example.
 
Q: How do I know what to price my items at?
A: You decide what to price your items. Please price items in increments of $0.50 (for example, $3.00 or $3.50, not $3.10 or $3.25). You will sell more items if you price to sell! Please double check all tags for accuracy. We will not be responsible for mis-tagged or inaccurate tags, incomplete tags, or items without tags. Also make sure your tags are printed on cardstock and securely fastened to your items. This helps us track when an item is sold and credit you accordingly.
​
Q: What does the "Item can be DONATED" checkbox mean?
A: If you do not want your leftover items after the sale, you can just click that box and we will donate them to the next charity sale or donate them directly to a local organization in need.
​
Q: What if I DO want my leftover items after the sale?
A: If you DO want your leftover items after the sale, you will need to pre-register online and choose an appointment to pick-up your items, come back to the gym on the sale day (February 22nd) at your scheduled time, and check out with a sales associate.  Bring a bag, bin or other way of transporting your items.
​
Q: What happens if I do not pick up my unsold items on Saturday, February 22nd at my scheduled time and I just leave them?
A: Any unsold items that have not been picked up will become property of consign clothes. We will either include the items to benefit the organization hosting our next event or donate to our local charities.  We defer to Neighbors4Neighbors to connect us with some of the most needy non profits in South Florida to donate.
