🧾 How does the tagging and inventory process work?
After registration, you'll be able to:
Enter your items in our system
Print tags for each item
Attach tags securely before drop-off
We’ll provide detailed guidelines on how to tag, price, and sort your items—similar to processes used at other consignment events like TotSwap.
💲 What percentage do consignors earn?
Consignors earn 65% of each sale. There is also a small consignor fee ($10), which helps us cover venue, consignment software and setup costs.
Consignors also get free sneak peek access to the sale. That means consignors can come to shop at any time without paying an entrance fee.
⏰ When can I shop as a consignor?
One of the best perks: you can shop as soon as you drop off your items on Friday, August 1st—before the sale officially opens to the public!
🔁 Can I discount my items on the last day?
Yes! You can choose to mark individual items for half-price on the last day of the sale. This is completely optional and decided item by item during the tagging process.
❤️ Can I donate unsold items?
Yes. If you’d like, you can choose to donate any unsold items after the event. Just select the donation option on an item-by-item basis when entering your inventory.
We will be utilizing a veterans-based charity for this sale.
🧾 Do you charge sales tax or fees?
No sales tax is charged to consignors. There is a consignor registration fee, and we deduct a commission from each item sold. Full details are provided during sign-up.
📦 What happens to my unsold items?
You have two options:
Pick them up at the end of the event (specific pickup time will be shared)
Or donate them, if you selected that option during tagging
🧷 What kinds of items are accepted?
We accept gently used:
Baby gear
