Membership/Staying Informed
I would like to receive email updates about the sale. Can I get on an email list? Yes, simply send an email to info@neatrepeatz.com with your email address, name and mailing address. And to ensure you receive the emails, add info@neatrepeatz.com to your address book, safe list, etc. so it will not be blocked as spam.
Can someone without an e-mail address get updates about the sale (such as a grandparent?) Sure. Either e-mail their name and mailing address to info@neatrepeatz.com or call 499-5884 and leave the information in our voice mail.
How do I become a Neat Repeatz Member? Select Register and fill out your information. You will need a valid email address, unique password and direct deposit information.
Consigning
What is the deadline for sign-up? Sign-up will close 5 days prior to the first Check-In Day. This is to allow you enough time to adequately prepare your items. However, sign-up is limited, so if it fills up, sign-up may close earlier.
How much does it cost to consign with Neat Repeatz? Consignors are charged a nominal $4.00 consignor fee. Additionally, you earn 60% of the asking price oon sold items and Neat Repeatz retains 40% as commission. No money is charged up front, so if things change and you decide not to consign this time, no fee is charged.
Why would I consign with Neat Repeatz instead of the alternatives (such as year-round consignment shops, garage sale, online auction?) Neat Repeatz offers a higher commission than most consignment shops and you get to set the price with us. We also draw thousands of shoppers at each event unlike a consignment shop or garage sale. Because we offer so many items in one location, inspected and organized, shoppers are willing to pay a higher price than they would at a garage sale. Plus, we take care of promoting the event so you don’t have to hang signs or take out classifieds. Finally, online auctions have their benefits but Neat Repeatz supports our local economy, local charities and allows local families to save money.
Can someone without Internet access be a consignor? An item entry form can be provided which you can fill out and take to friend’s house or the local library to enter online. Call us at 499-5884 to discuss the details.
I have a computer but do not have an adequate printer. What can I do? We’ve arranged a good deal with Kinko’s at 48th & Old Cheney in Lincoln. Input your items as usual and when you’re ready to print your tags, follow the directions on the page to send the files to Kinko’s for printing.
What items do you consider "In Season?" For our Fall Sale, we will accept any fall and winter clothing, snow boots, children’s sleds, etc. Short sleeved shirts, Capri pants, and outdoor toys are accepted but they do seem to sell better at the Spring sale. No bathing suits, shorts, sandals, swimming pools or pool toys, etc. For our Spring sale, we will accept spring and summer clothing, light jackets and pants, rain boots, sandals, swim suits, wading pools and pool toys. Jeans and warm pajamas are accepted at all sales, just avoid holiday-themed items in Spring.
What items are acceptable? For a full list go to Acceptable Items.
What happens to items that don't sell? During the item entry process, you are asked if you wish to pick-up or donate any unsold items. Items selected for pick-up will be available on pick-up day (see Calendar). Items selected for donate will be picked up by local organizations. Organizations vary from year to year depending on their needs. Visit our About Us page or Post Sale page for more information on previous charities we've supported. Your final online item list will show what items were donated for your tax purposes.
I have signed-up for the sale and have a check-in time. What do I do next? Login to the website and begin entering your item descriptions by selecting the “ENTER YOUR ITEMS” option in the yellow Members Only Box. When your item descriptions are all entered, you'll print your tags and affix them to your clean, properly prepared items according to our instructions outlined on the website.
When do I get to shop? As a consignor you automatically receive 3 points which is worth a pre-sale pass to shop the second presale time, after the volunteers, but before the public. Believe me...you don't want to miss presale! You can shop earlier by volunteering one or more shifts. The more you volunteer, the earlier you shop. Your pre-sale pass will be presented when you bring your items on your check-in day. Go to the Volunteer page after logging on to view the pre-sale dates and times.
Shopping
When is the next sale? The Fall/Winter Sale will be September 18th-21st. Come early for the best selection and come on the final day when many items are Half Price!
Where is the sale located? Every season, the sale location changes. We often don’t know the sale location until 6 weeks prior to the sale. Check the Location link for the most current information.
What forms of payment are accepted? We accept cash, local checks, Visa, Mastercard and Discover. We reserve the right to change this at any time.
Does it cost anything to enter the sale? No.
Can I bring my children to the sale? Children are welcome on public sale days. Remember that there are many items to look through and do consider that the first day and last day are very busy. While we do our best to make the checkout process quick, occasionally, long lines do occur.
Can I try on items? We do not have changing rooms available. Some Mom's take measurements of their children and then measure the clothing to ensure a great fit.
What will I find at the sale? You will find a selection of 50,000 items – all clean, inspected and organized – in one location. Visit our Sales page for a full list.
What is pre-sale and how can I get into that? For the two days prior to the public sale, we open our doors to our closest friends – our consignors, volunteers, corporate sponsors and expectant moms. You can earn a pre-sale pass by consigning a minimum of 15 items or volunteering for at least one shift. The more you volunteer, the earlier you shop. Corporate sponsor employees will receive their passes at work. Expectant moms can get their presale pass through their ob/gyn office about a month prior to the sale or by contacting us.
