Be a Perfect Consignor!

Check out these special perks for consignors who bring great items prepped correctly! This is our way of saying thank you to our consignors who consistently follow the JBF guidelines and bring great items to the sale.

Are YOU a Perfect Consignor? We are still working on the list for Fall 2013.  We will post it here as soon as we have it ready!

How to Become a Perfect Consignor:
If you have three or fewer stained, damaged, unacceptable, or recalled items pulled at drop off or during the sale, your name will be added to a list which allows you to drop off early at the next sale. Perfect Consignor status means you get to skip inspection at Drop Off at the following Sale. This saves you lots of time!

We appreciate those consignors who spend the extra time at home ensuring that their items are stain free and tagged correctly!

Perfect Consignor Drop Off (No Inspection!): Tuesday,  Sept. 17, 4pm-7pm. Perfect consignors may also drop off during reglar times without having to go through inspection.

REMEMBER: Perfect Consignor status is earned each sale. Spend extra time inspecting items at home so that you have 3 or fewer items pulled from the sales floor and earn your status for next time!
 

WHAT TO SELL?

Spring/Summer Event (Think warmer weather)

~ Shorts, tank tops, short sleeves, capri pants, jeans (ok all year), light jackets, light long sleeves and pants, rain coats & boots, kites, swim wear, pools and pool toys (fins, goggles, snorkels, diving toys, floaties, etc.), camping gear, picnic items.

Fall / Winter Event (Think colder weather)

~ Coats, jackets, gloves, mittens, scarves, long sleeves, turtle necks, long pants, jeans (ok all year), Halloween costumes, holiday outfits and accessories, rain coats and boots, umbrellas, snow gear (boots, sleds, skiing outfits and accessories), football gear, etc. Plus, swim suits since we Portlanders swim all yar!

Remember....

Spending a little extra time getting your items ready will mean more money $$$ for you. Items that are cleaned and ironed, with all pieces attached, and loose threads clipped, sell much better! Please inspect your items carefully at home. We will also inspect them at drop off. Just Between Friends reserves the right to deny any unacceptable items.

 

All Things Tagging:

The better your clothes look (and smell), the higher your sales will be! Think fresh and clean here. We’ve got some great info for you on how to make the most of your item sales.

Portland Sale Reminders:

Children's Clothing Only: Children's clothing Preemie - Size 20 (no junior's sizes). Season appropriate.

20 Item Maternity Limit: Bring your 20 best maternity clothing items. Season appropriate.

$3 Rule: Anything on a hanger must be priced at $3 or more. 

Strict Shoe Inspection: Shoes must be in great condition with very little wear and tear...and CLEAN. Season appropriate.

Items that Take Batteries: These items must have working batteries. Dollar Store batteries do the trick!

Check out our video library with easy-to-follow instructions and tips to make the most money for your items! Various item preparations are covered to take the guesswork out of your tagging. (Click load more videos to see them all!)

Wondering whether you should mark your items to reduce on 50% Off Day? We say, do it! Many shoppers come on that day only and look specifically look for items that go half off. You'll sell more items and make more cash!

To donate or not to donate?  JBF strongly recommends that you donate your unsold items. All unsold items marked for donation are given to Foster Closet Inc, a local deserving organization. You get a tax write-off! If you mark all your tags to donate, your consignor fee will only be $10 (as opposed to $15 if you do not donate all items). Please remember that if you tag your items as pick up and then do not pick them up, your fee will increase to $20.
