Children’s items we also accept:
Children’s bathing suits
Children’s slippers, shoes, boots
Children’s and youth sport shoe wear including shin guards
On occasion an item is accepted for consignment, but then a stain, tear or other defect is found later that would prevent it from being sold at full cost. To allow both the consignor and the Sale to benefit from the sale of the item, the Sale Chairman reserves the right to lower the cost to enable it to be sold.
Some consignors may wish to take home their unsold clothes on the Saturday afternoon of the sale (between 2:30 and 3:30 pm), before clothes go into the Half Price and Bag Sales on Sunday. You will need to bring a copy of your inventory sheet, find the unsold clothes yourself on the sales floor, and check out with a cashier to confirm the items you are taking home are on your sheet. Please be aware: clothing may not always be hung on the correct rack, or may still be in the dressing room area. Our volunteer staff try their best to put back clothing in the most appropriate place, but sometimes items end up in unexpected locations.
