Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We ask that you register for each sale you plan to participate in. That way we will know how many consignors are coming and can plan accordingly. You can also pick your drop off time.

DO I HAVE TO SUPPLY MY OWN HANGERS?

Yes.  Clothing must come in to drop-off hung on hangers.  You may use any type hanger even wire hangers from the dry cleaners.  However, all hanger hooks must be large enough to fit over a standard size rack.
More about Hangers:  Places to look for extra hangers include CraigsList, Freecycle, and your local dry cleaner.  You can also check with neighbors/friends who wear some type of uniform to work (military, pilot, mechanic, manufacturing plant, food service, etc).  Their uniforms come on wire hangers and they often have more than they need.

 

WHAT IS A CABLE TIE AND WHY SHOULD I USE ONE?

A cable tie or a zip tie is a plastic strip that is used most often in the hardware industry to hold cable wires together. One end slides into the other, pulls tight, and locks. Please use cable ties to tie shoes together.  They are very useful in keeping toys with multiple parts together as well. You can find cable ties in the hardware section of Wal-Mart or maybe in your husband's tool box!

 

I DON’T KNOW WHAT I SHOULD PRICE MY ITEMS.  DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Recommended pricing is 1/3 of retail price.  EBay may also be helpful as a reference guide for pricing. Minimum item price is $2.00 and prices should be in $1.00 increments only.  (i.e. $2.00, $5.00, etc.). Any price not in dollar increments will be rounded to the lowest dollar. Saturday all items will be 50% off.
NOTE: If you DO NOT want your items to be marked down, print the No Disc (No Discount) barcodes. 

 

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE ITEMS NOT SOLD BY THE END OF THE SALE? 
DO I HAVE TO FIND MY OWN ITEMS?

At the end of the sale, all items are separated back out into consignor number.  Consignors may pick up unsold items on Sunday from 10am - 2pm. 
ITEMS NOT PICKED UP BY 2PM SUNDAY WILL BE DONATED TO CHARITY -- NO EXCEPTIONS.

 

DO YOU HAVE SHOPPING CARTS?

There are not any shopping carts but we do encourage shoppers to bring their laundry baskets or recyclable shopping bags from home to shop in.

 

DO YOU HAVE ANY STAIN REMOVAL TIPS?

Grease Stains: For dark spots on dark fabrics, which are usually a grease stain, use Dawn Dishwashing Liquid. Rub into the stain and wash as normal. Almost always works great, even if the item has been dried in the dryer. Occasionally it will take treating twice.
Yellow Stains: Mix about 1/2 cup dishwashing detergent (such as Cascade) with 1/2 cup of Clorox 2 in about 1-2 gallons of water. Soak the stained item in the mixture for several hours, then wash as usual. Works for other types of stains as well
