Seasonal Consignment Guidelines

For your convenience, you can bring any season anytime.  We price the current season items (according to our best time schedule below) in your consignment account and buy the out of season items for the cash now price by crediting your consignment account.

  • 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.

Items with no season, we price it all year long:  Jeans, hoodies, most furniture (Fairbury Only), and non-seasonal home decor (Fairbury Only).
