As a Consignor, what percentage do I make on consigned items?
You receive 65% of the purchase price of each item sold.
Are there any fees involved to Consign?
Yes. There is an $15 registration fee. This fee is NON-REFUNDABLE. This must be done either online (See Register) or you may mail a check payable to Charleston Repeats: c/o Heather Gilbert, 503 Belle Hall Parkway, Suite 101, Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464. This fee must be paid before the Sale.
Do I have to volunteer?
Absolutely not! You can drop off items and then wait for your check! However, to receive the BEST shopping opportunities at the Sale, it is best to volunteer.
What may I consign?
If you child has used it, worn it, read it, played with it, or even wanted it, you can consign it! Check out the list of all acceptable and non-acceptable items under Consignor).
Do I supply my own hangers?
Yes. You must supply your own hangers and safety pins for tagging. These items are relatively inexpensive at any discount store or drycleaning establishment. All items are sold on the hanger. Your unsold items will be returned to you on the hangers.
How do I price my items?
You pick the price that you think is appropriate. A basic rule of thumb is to price the item for approximately 25-40% of its purchase price. Consider its condition and ask yourself “Would I pay ___ for this item?” Items with tags attached and boutique brands go for slightly more. (See our Pricing Guide for help).
What forms of payment will you take at the sale?
We will accept cash, Visa and Mastercard. We will not accept any personal checks or American Express.
When will I receive my check?
Approximately two (2) weeks after the sale all checks will be mailed to the address you supplied during registration. We will email you when checks have been placed in the mail.
Explain the Drop Off and Pick Up procedure?
In a nutshell, drop off your items during the drop off hours as shown on the Sale Schedule. If you have more than 100 items, please sign up for a drop off appointment to expedite the check in process. Charleston Repeats has a streamlined process. Upon arrival, you will be directed to the check-in station where all items will be inspected. At this station, turn in your Charleston Repeats Consignor Agreement. PLEASE VERIFY YOUR MAILING ADDRESS. You will also pick up your PreSale wristbands at this station. While items are being inspected, you should put all non-clothing items out on the floor where indicated. After you have done this, return to the check-in desk to pick up your items not accepted. If you are unable to drop off the items yourself, please make sure that you have someone bring in the signed Charleston Repeats Consignor Agreement along with your items. To pick up your unpurchased items, please check the Sale Schedule for pick up times. If your items are not picked up during these hours, they will be donated to one of the Charleston Charities.
