Appointment Time:
Parking can be a little challenging, since we are by appointment we do ask for our consignor to arrive on time so it does not interfere with our next appointment. If you are running late we appreciate if you can call us.
Have A lot of Items:
Avoid multiple trips to bring items in on your appointment, pull up by our back door and bring items in before you park, we can assist you; Please do not park in the small lot, it is not our parking lot.
Consignor Payment:
Consignors have two options of payment; Monies earned accumulate in your account as items sell and remain on your account until you apply them as a store credit toward a purchase or request a check after your consignment cycle has ended.
Checks with a minimum of $20 or more are cut upon request after your consignment cycle has ended, Mon-Fri, store credit can be used at any time you have a balance on your account. Please note: if you have a few consignment cycles at the same time, your check will reflect what has been sold up to the point check is issued.
Checking in on Your Account:
If consignor is curious how their account is doing, please wait a few weeks for items to sell and call us Monday-Friday, we will be happy to review your account with you!
