Adult Sale Guidelines

Join us in April 2009 for our 2nd Annual Adult's Consignment Sale. 

Volunteers are the key to a great sale; therefore, we have implemented a new policy for the Adult Sale.  If you would like to pick up your unsold items instead of donating them at the end of the sale, you must volunteer at least one shift.  As an added bonus, if you volunteer at least 15 hours, the limits on clothing items will be waived.  You would be able to bring as many clothing items as you like.  Finally, if you volunteer, you will be able to shop the sale earlier for a better selection.  Please see the calendar page or volunteer page for all of the volunteer shifts available.

Packaging/Hanging The packaging and hanging for items will remain the same as with the Children’s Sale.  All clothing items must be hung on wire hangers with the hanger making a question mark when facing you.  The tag must be placed on the upper right hand corner when facing you.  Books and Movies must have the tag taped to the back, if grouping them together, please tie with string, do not put in baggies.  Bigger items can simply have the tag taped or pinned securely to the item.  Please see the Packaging/Hanging page for examples.  Please also refer to the Supplies page for locations where you can pick up hangers, safety pins, and card stock.  If you have any questions on packaging an item please email us at info@neatrepeatz.com.  

Half Price DayHalf Price Day will be Sunday, April 20 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.  You, as the consignor may chose which of your items you would like to go half-price.  At the Children’s Consignment Sale, we find that Half Price Day is very busy and many items are sold on that last day.  If your goal is to get the item out of your house and make a little money, than I strongly suggest you allow your items to go half-price.  Even if items are marked Full Price Only, they will remain on the sales floor for Half Price Day, the shoppers will be made aware to check the tags to see which items are half-price.

Pick-up DayIf you have volunteered at least one shift and you wish to pick up any unsold items, you may do so on Monday, April 21from 11a.m. to 7 p.m.  No appointment is necessary, just show up between those hours.  If you did not volunteer for at least one shift, your unsold items will be given to local charities and you may print out a list of your donated items to keep for tax purposes.  A list of the charities will be on the website at the end of the sale.
