What happens to my unsold items?

You must decide whether or not to donate each item when entering your inventory online.  Consignors must pick up any unsold, non-donated items at the end of the sale.  Curly Q Consignment will donate all applicable items to multiple charities.  PICKUP TIME is on Sunday, April 21st from 12pm-2pm!  All unclaimed items left at the sale after 2pm on Sunday will be DONATED!  NO EXCEPTIONS!!!

How do I become a consignor? 

In order to register as a consignor CLICK HERE.

Once you are registered, you will receive instructions on how to get your consignor number and all the information you need to begin tagging your items. 

Why is there a registration fee?

Your $10 registration fee helps cover the cost of the location rental, software tagging system, advertising, insurance, display racks, supplies, etc.  

How do I tag my items?

Once you have registered and received your consignor #, you can begin tagging your items. You will receive detailed information upon registration telling you how to tag, hang, tape, etc. your items before bringing them to the sale. Here are the top highlights:

• All clothing must be washed and hung on hangers.
• Sort all items by size and gender before coming to the sale.
• All toys requiring batteries must have them & be operational (we'll check them at your drop-off appointment).
• Any items that plug in will be checked at drop-off.
• Each item must have a bar coded price tag attached to it. You will enter your items using our provided on-line inventory management system and use that to print out bar-coded tags on cardstock paper at home.

Curly Q Consignment wants to ensure that all the products at the sale are clean and in working order. Therefore, we have detailed instructions on how to prepare your items. Before you decide to consign, we highly recommend you read more about tagging so you are familiar with the process. CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILED TAGGING INSTRUCTIONS.

Who sets the prices?
Each consignor chooses how they want to price their items. We recommend pricing your items 30-50% of original retail. That being said, the lower you price your items, the better they will sell. You should think about what you would pay for the items if you were buying them. We do have a Pricing Guideline - you may choose to follow this guideline or not.

At the sale, there is no negotiating the prices - the price on your tag is what it will be sold for. However, the last day of the sale is the 1/2 off sale day. It is up to you as the consignor to decide if you would like your items to be discounted on that day. When making your product tags online, you may choose which, if any, items you would like to be discounted. 

When do I bring my items to the sale?

Upon registering, you will also be sent instructions on how to sign up for a drop-off appointment to bring your items to the sale. Drop-off is typically the Wednesday before the sale starts.  Drop-off should take you about 30 minutes to one hour. We will inspect all the items you bring to make sure there aren't any stains, rips, tears, and that all items are working. 

What other consignor benefits are there?

As a consignor, you get to shop the private pre-sale!!!! The pre-sale is the day before the public sale - so you get first pick of the merchandise!

All consignors may attend the pre-sale, however, if you volunteer, you get into the pre-sale even earlier! (This is in addition to getting an extra 5% of your sales!)

As a consignor you have access to your inventory on-line and can view your items sold/not sold.  This enables you to view where you are at from day to day.  You know what your check is going to be before it even arrives! 

When do I get paid???

Consignor checks are mailed to you within as little as 1 week.
