Consigning at Lucy’s

1. Items are accepted for consignment only by appointment. Select from two appointment styles as described below, then call the store that is most convenient for you to schedule an appointment.
   
   Drop and Donate Appointment: You may bring up to 50 items to each appointment. These items are NOT reviewed while you are in the store, but are processed soon afterwards. Unselected items are donated to local charities (see list posted in store for details). This appointment style is NOT available for large items, such as baby equipment, strollers, etc. Usually, this appointment style has the widest array of times available.
   
   Review and Retrieve Appointment: You may bring up to 50 items to each appointment. While you shop, we will select the items that we are confident we can sell and return to you those for which we have insufficient demand
   
   
2. Any Season Clothing – Anytime! You can consign any season of children’s clothing any time of the year. If you have a lot to consign, begin bringing in the current season’s items, and start with your newest clothes, working backwards in time. We’ll store your items until the proper sales season. Maternity consignments are accepted in season only.
   
   
3. What NOT to bring to Lucy’s: We don’t accept anything that is torn, pilled, faded, stained, outdated, recalled or broken. If the item was originally retailed at Wal-Mart, Target, or K-Mart, it is probably NOT an item that will be sold at Lucy’s. Is the item over two years old? Again, it is probably NOT an item that will be sold at Lucy’s. Plenty of things are wearable and usable, but NOT “sellable.”
   
   We don’t sell car seats, cribs, infant tubs, inflatable items, “power wheels” vehicles, and remote-control toys, among other things. If it’s big and bulky, please inquire by phone before your appointment.
   
   
4. Commission: Earn 40% on every item that sells. We keep track and send you the money!
   
   Want to earn more? Hang all your items on plastic “flat” hangers (like those used in new-clothing stores) before coming to the store, and you will earn 50% commission. Hang items so that, when viewed from the front, the hanger looks like a question mark (?), and be sure to button buttons and snap snaps. Tube style and metal hangers are not accepted. If you need flat hangers, stop by either store prior to your appointment day, and pick up a free bag of hangers.
   
   
5. Consignment checks and reports are mailed April 30, August 30, and December 31. Account balances below $10 will roll forward until the next check cycle.
