I keep seeing and hearing comments about quality at consignment sales (not Hanging Rack.) So I thought I would address what is appropriate to sell and what is not. If you are a shopper, this should also help you set up your expectations when you come to shop with us! We are by no way perfect, but we are always trying to improve the shopping experience!
If you've consigned with us at our past sale, then you know we do attempt to check your items at drop-off. Of course, how thorough we can be is up to how many volunteers we have at the time you drop-off and how many item you have to drop-off.Here are items that we DO NOT ACCEPT:
- items with stains, not clean
- items with over-wear/washing/out-of-shape
- items that are too old looking or out-of-date styles
- items with holes, tears, broken zippers
- items with missing pieces/parts
- items without batteries (if batteries are required)
- items out of season (save it for next sale)
- clothing with advertising/websites/free shirts from non-profits/library etc
- car seats that over over 5 years old (date must be imprinted on bottom of seat)
- fast food toys, grab bags of misc toys
- underwear unless new in package
- videos/CD’s/DVD’s not in original packaging (no copies allowed)
- of course, anything that is recalled
As a shopper, if you see something that should not be on the floor, feel free to give it to a volunteer. We appreciate it!
Lastly, please don't be offended if we reject some of your items at drop-off. We understand that you tried to only put in the best. Multiple sets of eyes truly help. We want to make sure what we have on the floor sells. We want shoppers to know that what they are buying is in good condition. We also only have limited racks and we want to make sure that we have it filled with only the best selection for our shoppers! Thank you for understanding.
