Consign

CONSIGN WITH US!

As we see what sells and what does not sell well, we have tweaked the list of items that we no longer accept. Here is a list of clothing items we will not be able to take: items with stains, tears, pills, strong odors, very old styles, buttons or snaps missing, bibs, onesies, pajamas (we do take sleepers up to 12 months), bathrobes, slippers, turtlenecks over size 6, thin terry cloth sleepers, crib bedding. We take Girls shoes up to size 6 youth. We take Boys shoes up to size 7 youth. We do not take any home décor items. We only take pregnancy or parenthood related books.

CPSC has made new guidelines that indicate these additional items that we may not sell: Garments with long drawstring at waist or neck, clothes with rhinestones with metal backing touching the skin. Inexpensive children’s jewelry. These things may contain lead. Soon all new garments will come with a manufacturer’s tag noting “lead free”. This will solve most of these problems.

If you bring in toys, please clean them and include batteries in any toys that require them. If they have several parts please make sure all are included. Please bring seasonal toys at appropriate times (ex. Outdoor toys during Spring/Summer season). We do not take stuffed animals.

Would you like to get money for your gently used clothing, toys, equipment, and educational books?  Would you like to do this without having to price, tag, and sell the items yourself?

What being a consigner means to you…
When you bring in your gently used items, we will sign you up as a consigner and you will receive a 50% commission of the selling price.  We will enter your items into the computer, price and tag them for you.  The prices will generally be set at 1/4 – 1/2 of the “new” price of the item. .  You will receive a detailed receipt of the items you left with us – or you can choose the internet option to have access to view your item’s status and your account balance ONLINE!

What Village Wardrobe is looking for…

Consignment Agreement

Welcome!  We’re pleased that you want to become a part of our shop.  Here’s how it works:

1.  When you bring your items in, we will select what our customers will buy.  Sometimes there will be items we cannot sell.  Please understand that our customer’s preferences must be our selection guidelines.

2.  We base prices on supply and demand.  We will get the best possible prices for you.

3.  You will receive half of the selling price.  Stop in for any money owed you any time.  We mail checks the 1st of the month for any amount over $25, just in case you haven’t been in (there is a $1 charge for this service).  You may use the money posted to your account towards in-store purchases at any time.

4.  We will display your items for 60 days.  The selling price will be reduced by 10% after the first 3 weeks, and by 20% at the 6-week point. 

5.  If you would like to retrieve any unsold items please do so by the 60th day or by the final season pickup date, whichever comes first, all unsold items must be picked up or they will become the property of Village Wardrobe.  Due to the volume of consignors and clothing it will be the consignor’s responsibility to pull and pick up any unsold items.

6.  We will do our best to safeguard your items, but we are not responsible for damage or loss.

We look forward to a long and mutually profitable association with you.  After all, we couldn’t do it without you!
