Prepare your consignment items using these best practices to and watch your sales increase!
Gather clothing, shoes, gear, equipment, etc. that you wish to sell. (Check the list for items that will be accepted).
Shoppers are looking for items in Excellent Used Condition. When sorting through your stash, ask yourself honestly, “Would I buy this, in the condition that it’s in?” If the answer is a resounding, “Yes!” then consign it!
Items must be season appropriate (spring and summer clothes for spring sales, fall and winter clothes for fall sales) and all clothing should be freshly laundered and neatly presented.
Check carefully for stains (especially on cuffs, necklines and fronts of items), snags, pilling, cracked appliques on t-shirts, for tiny holes, missing buttons and non-functional zippers. Pants should not be worn at the knees or have frayed cuffs - unless it's a 'designer' feature.
Clothing items must be fully snapped, buttoned and zipped up, and right-side out.
Shoes should be extremely clean – especially their soles, with minimal wear.
Baby gear must be clean and have all parts.
All items requiring batteries should have fresh batteries and be in excellent working condition.
