Consigning Guidelines

Clothing must be clean, free of smoke, wrinkles or pet hair.

We do not accept items that smell like smoke, pets, are dirty or wrinkled.

We do not accept items that have been stored in unfinished basements that smell like mildew.

NOTHING CAN SMELL LIKE MOTHBALLS

We also do not accept ripped, torn, faded, pilled, stained or vintage merchandise.

Items must be "floor ready".We will not steam or iron clothing, fix buttons, fix hems or seams.

We are not a vintage store. Clothing must also be within the last 3 years.

Please understand we are not a storage facility. A lot of time and money goes into setting up your account, paying employees to manage, list and set up your inventory. When you sign a contract with us, you are entering into a business agreement and will be held to it.
