CONSIGNORS

I'M SELLING!

Interested in saving money, helping your neighbors, and giving back to the planet?! 

Turn all those clothes the kiddos hardly wore or the toys they hardly played with into cash. Contribute to a local economy where families can find quality affordable clothing. Buying used helps reduce landfill waste and gives you snap chat cred to "live sustainably!"

What do I earn?
​
​​Consignor's commit to a selling period of 6 months and earn 50% of pre-tax sales. You may choose up to 6 additional months selling period with your items marked at a discounted price, still earning 50% of pre-tax sales or choose store credit and earn 75%. You may choose to sell your items outright for cash. However, you will typically earn more by consigning. Cash buyouts are limited to walk-in only.

What if my items don't sell?
​
You may pick up your unsold items or elect to have them donated to a local community organization, charity, or non-profit. You may also choose to have your items consigned at the semi-annual My Little Bugs sale.
