Please take out all of the items that we do not sell before you come to the store to drop off—we will not sort while you wait. Disposal fees apply (see below) for an excessive amount of items in your 7 bag drop off that we do not sell. We don’t want to charge additional fees, it is a way to ensure that the guidelines are followed so that we can efficiently process and sell your awesome current name brand items.
  • Bring in-season items according to seasonal calendar. See seasonal calendar below for our consignment season guidelines. Consignor reports are available in store approx a week after drop & run.
  • Bring your items in open top shopping bags or medium sized moving boxes (maximum of 7 per consignment account per week)–no garbage bags or large boxes please. If it is too heavy for you, its too heavy for us. Some of the worst surprises come in garbage bags plus they are often too heavy then they tip and rip too easily.
  • Bring items in “ready to sell” condition (freshly laundered, right side out, free of odors, fresh batteries or bulbs, free of garage sale stickers, free of hangers (we use our own)). See fees below if your items are not “ready to sell”.

Seasonal Consignment Guidelines
Please bring only in season items at the times listed below. When we receive your items; some are determined to be unsaleable and go to immediately to a charity or recycling company of our choice. The items that we choose for consignment will go to the sales floor during the proper season for best sales results.

The best time to bring Spring is January Thru March
The best time to bring Summer is March Thru June
The best time to bring Fall is July Thru September
The best time to bring Winter is September Thru December
A good guideline for “Holiday” merchandise is 90 days before the holiday. Example, the best time to bring Christmas decor and clothing is the end of September…90 days before Christmas.

Christmas decor in Fairbury: we no longer accept/sell Christmas trees with detachable branches or table top Christmas trees. Ornaments must have been over $15 each new and still current. September-October is the best time to bring Christmas decor–if you bring it to us in Nov/Dec it is too late for full price sales.

Items with no season, we price it all year long: Jeans, hoodies, and non-seasonal home décor.
