When Can I bring items in ?
You must schedule an Appointment to bring items in to consign. Call the appointment line at 502-426-6895 Monday through Friday between 10:00 and 4:30 to schedule an appointment.
How do you decide what to accept ?
We chooseitems based on thequality, condition, age and other similar factors. We'll only acceptclothing thatisin season, clean, in style, wrinkle-free, no smoke odors, not more than a few years old, not worn-out looking, no rips or tears, stains or blemishes, etc.
We also give high preference tobetter labels(see examples below).
In addition, we consider thedemandforthe particular item. For example,if tops are a selling well,andsuits arein less demand, we'llmost likely acceptmore tops and fewer suits.
Another factor is the size of ourinventory. If we have ample number of jeans in stock for example, but low inventory of skirts, we'llslow down with accepting jeans and lookto increase our inventory of nice skirts.
Please be patient and understanding if we have to turn downsome of your items. Our space is limited and we are very selective in order to satisfy our customers. We'll try tobriefly explain our decisions if you ask.

How much do youpay me for sold items?
We only accept items on consignment, we don't buy items. If your item sells you typically will receive 45% of the sell price, or 60% if the sale price is over $100, less fees. Please review the contract for specific payment details (see link above). We normally pay only once a month, and you must come in to the store during normal business hours to receive a cash or check payment.
How do youprice the items ?
We determine the price based upon our more than20 years of re-sell experience. Normally the pricewill be about 25% to 40% of the original retail value but this may vary up or down based upon our judgement.Unless its a very high price item (for example a mink coat or a top-label purse) we can't tell you the price at the time you bring the item in. If you are interested, we suggest you browse through our store to get a feel for how items are priced.
Items that we accept that don't sell quickly will be reduced periodically at our discretion.
