WHOO CONSIGNS

What items do you accept?

• Infant clothing - newborn to 18 months -

What items are NOT accepted?

• Clothing that is out-of-date, not currently "on-trend", faded, stained, or damaged

Do you accept women's clothing?

We sure do! We accept all maternity clothing (from any season) AND some women's clothing, handbags, and shoes. These should be "current styles" and "seasonally appropriate" for our sale. For example, you may only sell women's sweaters during our Fall/Winter event and regular women's shorts during our Spring/Summer event. However, you may sell maternity shorts at any of our sales. We do have limits for the women's items which are listed below. Women's Maternity: No limit Women's Clothing: 20 items Women's Handbags: 5 items Women's Outerwear: 20 items Women's Shoes: 5 items

Do you accept items in any condition - or do you have quality quidelines?

Our shoppers are looking for high-quality items at a great price. Did you catch the high-quality part! We inspect all items before putting them on the sale floor. Items that don't meet our standards will not be included in the sale (no matter how low you price them). All items must be clean and free of stains, tears, excessive wear, and odors (like smoke). All items must be in good working order without broken zippers or missing buttons. A good rule of thumb is to only sell items that are of high enough quality that you would want to buy them. IN STYLE -

• We only accept clothing items that have been in style over the past 5 years (give or take). We do not make exceptions for "vintage" items.

Are there limits on how many items I can sell?

We've been running the sale for a few years now and we've noticed something. Bringing more items doesn't necessarily mean a higher sell though! If anything we've noticed that consignors who bring massive amounts of items usually come home with massive amounts of items. This is what we call a low sell through rate. This can be due to lesser quality items, poor item prep (because of rushing to get all those items entered and tagged), or even older items that are out of style. Whatever the cause, we've noticed a correlation and want to help you out! Our goal is for every consignor to sell most of their items at each sale. To further that goal we set a 250 item limit for all consignors. We are encouraging all sellers to bring only their highest quality clothing and shoes, make fashionable, budget-friendly sets of clothing/bedding/accessories, and high-quality toys without stains, breaks, or missing parts. You may also want to consider purging items that haven't sold in the past sale or two. Still have a ton of items to sell and frustrated by the item limit? We get it! Consigners who consistently have had a sell-through rate of over 50% will be permitted to bring an unlimited number of items to the sale! Woo Whooo!

Are there any other limitations on how many items I can sell?

ITEM LIMITS ON CLOTHING FROM AGES 0-18 MONTHS We are usually PACKED with newborn clothing which may seem like a great thing. The only problem is, they're not huge sellers! Here's what we're seeing...

• TIME - Spend time wisely - We feel so bad that you go through all that hard work of prepping those teeny tiny outfits, and end up bringing them home again with nothing to show for your hard work.

What if I want to sell MORE than 250 items?

Still have a ton of items to sell and frustrated by the item limit? We get it! Consigners who consistently have had a sell-through rate of over 50% will be permitted to bring an unlimited number of items to the sale! Woo Whooo!

How do I know what to price my items?

Remember, as a consigner you set the price for the items you're selling! To help you get started we've provided some tips on how to price items so that both you and our shoppers get the best results. Keep in mind that shoppers are looking for a bargain. Price your items as fairly as possible so they have the best chance of being sold. You won't have success if the prices are too high, no matter how much you originally paid for an item. There's no shortage of coupons and online deals for brand new merchandise, so the people shopping at consignment sales are looking for major discounts on items that have already been used.

Do you have specific recommendations for pricing items?

We have a comprehensive pricing tip sheet here

Other than pricing items well, what else can I do to help my items sell?

• Price your items for discount at the half-price sale to make sure they find a new home. Many shoppers come back for the half-price sale to purchase discounted items they saw earlier in the week. This a great way to make sure that most of your items are sold and to earn a little extra money!

Okay, got it. Now, what else do I need to know about pricing?

• No changes to the donate status of an item will be accepted after the sale starts.

What supplies will I need to participate as a seller?

You can find item prep and price tagging supplies in a variety of stores or online retailers. Keep an eye out for sales at Target, dollar stores, and office supply stores as well.

• We highly recommend you use a tagging gun to tag your items. However, be careful when tagging clothes (with a tagging gun or safety pins) so you do not to put noticeable holes in the clothing.

How do I attach price tags to my items?

We highly recommend you use a tagging gun or safety pins to tag your items.

• Attach the tag to fabric items by using a safety pin or tagging gun.

That's a lot of info - do you have an examples of how to do all this?

We sure do! Check out our picture gallery here. Once you are registered to sell, you'll have access to join our sellers FB group where other sellers can also give you their tips and tricks!

Does the quality of my tags matter?

Yes, it is very important that all tags are able to be read by our scanners. FEE FOR TAGS THAT DO NOT SCAN AT CHECK OUT = $25.00 We have guidelines listed for properly printing out your tags so that the barcodes are able to be read by our scanners. Failure to properly print tags causes cashiers to manually enter that tag, which also decreases buyer confidence in our event. We understand that there are times that one or two tags may not scan properly. If we find that more than 5 of your tags do not scan at check out, then you will be charged a fee for the extra time it took to check out your items. TAGS THAT ARE LOW QUALITY PAPER Tags that are not printed on cardstock tend to rip and crinkle. This leads to the tags become detached from their item. When a tag becomes detached from an item, we are not always able to re-match it - which mean that your item goes in the lost and found and will not be able to be sold.
