Consigning 

What if I have forgotten my password? 

If you are a returning seller and have forgotten your password you may click HERE to retrieve it.

What is the deadline for sign-up?  

Online Registration will open at 9:15 am on Saturday, January 30, 2010. It is first come, first served and we anticipate filling all our Consignor numbers within minutes.

Is there a waiting list for consignor numbers if I don't get a number the day of online registration?  

No, there is not a waiting list for consignor numbers.  We have noticed that the consignors that receive numbers during online registration typically use the numbers.   Therefore, there is not a need for a waiting list.

When can I drop off my items?  

Consignors drop off their items to sell Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday prior to the sale opening at specified drop off time.  Please click HERE to link to Login for a drop off time.  Please allow about 30 minutes to complete the drop off process.

When can I pick up my check and unsold items if I am a consignor?  

Consignors schedule for check and unsold item pick up for Saturday, March 6th will be posted on the website homepage the week of the sale.

Will you take all of my items? 

Each consignor is allowed between 50 and 150 items.  We inspect each item and reserve the right to return unacceptable items to the consignor.  Please don't be offended if we ask you to take back some of your items, as it is easy to miss a stain or flaw when preparing your items for the sale.  We want our shoppers to buy with confidence that they are recieving the highest quality merchandise at the best prices at Lil' Angels Attic.

What do I do once I have a Consignor Number? 

Once you receive a Consignor number through our Online Registration, you will need to attend ONE of two Orientation Sessions to walk you through how our new Barcoding System will work.  For a listing of Orientation Sessions please visit the home page.  If you do not attend one of these sessions, your consignor number will be invalid.

How much does it cost to consign with Lil' Angels Attic? 

Consignors are charged a nominal $5 consignor fee if you volunteer one shift during the sale or $20 if you don't volunteer.  Additionally, you earn 70% of the asking price on sold items and Lil' Angels Attic retains 30% as commission.  The fee will be collected at the Orientation Session.   

Why would I consign with Lil' Angels Attic instead of the alternatives (such as year-round consignment shops, garage sale, online auction?)  

Lil' Angels Attic offers a higher commission than most consignment shops, you get to set the price with us, and decide item by item if it will be donated or returned to you if unsold.  We also draw thousands of shoppers at each event unlike a consignment shop or garage sale. Because we offer so many items in one location, inspected and organized, shoppers are willing to pay a higher price than they would at a garage sale. Plus, we take care of promoting the event so you don’t have to hang signs or take out classifieds. Finally, online auctions have their benefits but Lil' Angels Attic supports our local economy, gives thousands of dollars and merchandise to local charities, and allows local families to save money. 

Can someone without Internet access be a consignor? 

Yes, a form can be provided which you can fill out and take to a friend’s house or the local library to enter online.  Call us at 843-3942 EXT 137 to discuss the details.  

What items do you consider "In Season?"  

For our Fall Sale, we will accept any fall and winter clothing, snow boots, children’s sleds, Halloween costumes, etc.  For our Spring sale, we will accept spring and summer clothing, light jackets and pants, rain boots, sandals, swim suits, wading pools and pool toys. Jeans and warm pajamas are accepted at all sales, just avoid holiday-themed items in Spring. 

What items are acceptable? 

For a full list go to What We Accept. 

What happens to items that don't sell? 

During the item entry process, you are asked if you wish to pick-up or donate any unsold items.  Items selected for pick-up will be available on Saturday at your scheduled Pick-up time.  Items selected for donate will be picked up by local organizations. Organizations vary from year to year depending on their needs.  Visit our About Us page or Charities page for more information on previous charities we've supported.  Your final online item list will show what items were donated for your tax purposes.

I have signed-up for the sale and have a check-in time.  What do I do next?
