Frequently Asked Questions: When will your Sale be held?
Our next sale will be August 23rd & 24th, 2008
Where will the sale be?
The Fall Sale will be at the Knights of Columbus Center on RT2, Ritchie Highway, in Severna Park.
Is there an entry fee?
There is no fee to shop.
Is there a consignor fee?
There is no fee to consign. You make 55% of your sales price, there are no other fees.
Which season clothing will you be taking at the Fall sale?
At the Fall sale, we will be accepting only Fall and Winter items.
Can I bring children to the Volunteer and Consignor Pre-Sale?
We strongly suggest that you NOT bring your children to the pre-sale.
What if I buy something and get it home and it does not fit my child? Can I return it?
All sales are final, no exchanges, returns or refunds. We suggest that you hold on to the item and sell it at our next sale.
Will you take credit cards and checks?
We will take MasterCard, Visa and checks, and of course, cash is always king.
How Should I price my items?
We strongly suggest you set the price at 30-40% of the retail value. Baby Equipment, Furniture and Large Indoor/Outdoor Toys usually sell for more and are in high demand. We have an abundance of 0-24 month sizes, so they must be priced competitively in order to sell.
Boutique items should be priced 1/3 of what you paid for them. However, Lilly Pulizer you could price at 1/2 of retail. Be fair and honest please, as you would want someone else to be -- everyone is getting great deals here, let's spread the love!
Can I use wire hangers?
Use children's plastic hangers for sizes 10 and below. Use larger plastic hangers for sizes 12 and above. No wire hangers, please!
Will my hangers be returned?
Sorry, but you will not be able to get your hangers back. They go with the outfits as they are sold. May we suggest buying lots of clothing at our sale to replenish your hangers? We would suggest that you buy your hangers early as local stores tend to sell out right before the sale!
How do I secure small pieces with Toys or Equipment?
Place them in a ziploc bag and then seal the ziploc with clear packing tape. This is important, as little hands get into the bags and spread toys around.
When I price items in a ziploc bag, how do I attach the price tag?
Attach the string of the price tag to the bag with packing tape (leave the tag to hang as the label wraps around the front and back of the tag), then when you get to the sale and get your bar codes, you can stick the bar code to the price tag on the bag. Do NOT stick the label right to the item, we have to keep the labels in case our computer crashes so we know who to pay!
How do I carry my clothes while I am shopping?
We suggest you bring a laundry basket to the sale. Large bags will need to be checked at the door. We will have a limited number of small laundry baskets at the door.
Because of shoplifting at our last sale, we are no longer allowing you to bring your own shopping bags in. Only laundry baskets will be allowed in the door! Also, strollers will be checked when you exit the sale. Leave your personal items in your car or at home.
We will have a HOLD area for large items or if you want to buy so much you can't carry it all at once!!!
What happens to my items if they do not sell?
If your items do not sell, you can either pick them up or donate them to charity at the end of the sale.
What if my item is not worth your minimum price guideline of $4.00?
If it meets our "high quality" standards, then group it together with one or two more like items. Pin them together on a hanger, or group them in a ziploc bag and put one price for the entire group.
Should I iron my clothes?
Wrinkled clothes do not sell! We will likely send them home to you if they are extremely wrinkled. Please do what is necessary to make your clothes look clean and nice. Remember, the better they look, the more likely they are to sell!
Will you be featuring local businesses?
Yes! Check our sponsor page for the latest information.
