To Participate or Not — that is the question!

Consignors must have a minimum of $75 worth of items in order to sell and may sell a maximum of 400 items total.

If you only have a few items, consider whether your potential sales are enough to make the cost of registration, effort, time, and participation worthwhile to you. Seller spots are limited. The $15 registration fee is non-refundable and non-transferrable.

Consignors retain at least 65% of what their items sell for, with opportunities to retain up to 80%

One consignor account per household.

Step 3: Preparing Your Items

Collect Inventory 

  • Collect eligible items
    • Please read about acceptable Items, Item Limits, and Item Prep instructions Click Here
    • Junior Clothing (Adult Sizes for TEENS, not youth, not mom clothes) Click Here
  • Inspect & Clean all of your items to make sure they are in working order, and free from stains and flaws.
  • Read through the CONSIGNOR HANDBOOK for lots of info on the process!

Price, Hang, & Tag

Log in to your consignor account and enter your items into our online inventory and tagging system. (We have a video tutorial on the Consignor Facebook group page)

  • Pricing: Minimum price is $2.00 and you can only price in whole dollar increments.
  • Description Field: Be very detailed and descriptive! Use words like slim, husky, runs small, or runs big and include brand, color, pattern, etc.
  • Discount/Donate: We highly recommend discounting ALL of your items! Statistics show that more items sell at full price if they are marked for discount! And if they don’t sell at full price, wouldn’t you rather have half the earnings than not sell it at all?  If you are not planning to come find your unsold items at pick-up, mark them for Donation. These 2 options are part of the tagging process, super easy, just check the box!
  • Size Field: Clothing tags must contain a NUMBER size in the tag’s size field.
    • Convert letter sizes (e.g., XS, S, M, etc.) to their number equivalents. See size chart below (Exception: Junior Clothing Sizes uses only XS, S, M, L, XL)
    • Enter the smaller number for clothing containing multiple sizes into the tag’s size field. Example: 6/7 is entered as 6, for 10/12, enter 10.
  • Hang: All clothing and blankets must be hung on hangers! The hook of the hanger should be facing left — like a question mark!
  • Print Tags: Print on white cardstock and attach securely to items via safety pins or tape (or, if used properly, optional tagging gun). Loosely attach tags to large items as they will be attached to a Large Ticket Tag so shoppers claim the item and continue shopping. See the Supplies and Tagging Tips information  HERE

Step 4: Drop-Off

  • Sign Up: Select a drop-off appointment time from your consignor account homepage. You may change your appointment time any time before the Inventory Entry Deadline (10:00pm on Saturday).
  • Appointment: Drop-offs are scheduled appointments, please arrive on time.
    Unorganized and/or late arrivals affect others and can cause significant delays. So, BEFORE arriving, be sure to organize clothing by size and gender and group all other items by category. 
  • Process – Plan for 30-60 minutes
    • Arrive & bring in a load of clothing items first.
    • Check-In at the table to let us know you are here.
    • Unload clothing first so that a Crew Member can start inspection
    • Then unload all non-clothing items. YOU will be putting these items on the sales floor where they go. There will be bins/baskets at each location around the floor for you to put your items in.
    • When your clothing is finished being inspected YOU will take the accepted items and put them on the clothing racks by gender, size, and type. 
    • Set up any large items (i.e. pack n play, swing, beds).
    • Leave with your empty totes/containers.
    • Crew Inspection and Acceptance
      • Items will be inspected for eligibility, proper tagging, etc.; don’t be offended if not all items are accepted, we have high standards and quality control is super important!
      • Any unaccepted item(s) you will take home with you after you finish putting your items on the sales floor. If items are marked for donation, you can leave them to be donated.

Step 6: End of Sale

Unsold Item Pick Up . . . . . Sunday 2:30 pm – 4:30 pm

  • YOU will arrive at 2:30pm on Sunday after the sale ends. YOU will walk the sales floor to collect your un-sold items. We are no longer sorting items out into piles. You will find your items and anything left at 4:30pm will be donated. You must be DONE finding your items by 4:30pm, no exceptions. (Do NOT arrive at 4:00pm as you won’t have time to get all your items!)
  • Check the “Lost and Found” area for items that lost their tags.

Donate

If you do not wish to pick up unsold items at the end of the event, check the DONATE box when creating your price tags. 

All items left in the building after 4:30pm on Sunday evening will be donated along with all other designated items to local charities. NO EXCEPTIONS.

itty bitty boutique is not responsible for lost, misplaced, stolen, or damaged items.
