How The Consignery Works

Welcome to The Consignery — where we turn your closet clean-out into cash without the stress, hassle, or pile-of-clothes-on-the-floor energy you’ve been avoiding. Here’s how our simple, transparent consignment process works from start to finish.

1. Drop Off Your Items (or choose pickup for a fee)

Bring us your clothing, shoes, accessories, and other accepted items in good to great condition. We carefully look through everything and decide what’s suitable for resale.

We accept:

  • Women’s, men’s, kids, and teens clothing

  • Shoes

  • Handbags, belts, jewelry, and accessories

  • Select small electronics and beauty items (sealed)

If an item is too worn, damaged, stained, or just not sellable, it’s donated immediately to Veteran’s Thrift in Bristol, PA — nothing goes to waste

2. We Review & Approve What Will Sell

We personally inspect each piece, confirm condition, and choose what will be listed.
Our decision is based on:

  • Quality

  • Condition and Cleanliness

  • Current resale demand

  • Market pricing

Only items that truly have resale potential make the cut — because listing things that won’t sell helps no one.  We don't limit brands, but certain brands or unbranded items depending on condition are more likely to be donated.

3. We Prep, Photograph & List Your Items

Once accepted, your items are added to our inventory and listed in our online store and other channels within two weeks.

We handle everything:

  • Steaming

  • Staging

  • Photography

  • Writing descriptions

  • Pricing based on brand, condition, and market demand

  • Managing questions, offers, and promotions

You don’t lift a finger — that’s kind of our whole thing.

4. We Set Smart, Competitive Prices

The Consignery has full discretion over pricing, promotions, and adjustments.  Why? Because this helps your items sell faster and for the highest reasonable value based on true resale demand.

Our goal: get your items sold — not just listed.

5. When Items Sell, You Get Paid

Here’s how payouts work:

  • Poshmark and other platforms keep fees up to 20% of each sale.  The remaining amount is split 60/40 between The Consignery (60%) and you (40%).  Payments are issued within 14 days of the payout clearing.

  • Payments can be sent by Venmo or check — whatever works best for you.

    It’s straightforward, transparent, and always communicated clearly.

6. How Long Items Stay Listed

Items typically stay in our closet for up to six months, with some flexibility for seasonality.  If an item isn’t selling or demand drops, we may remove it early and:

  • Donate it to Veteran’s Thrift

  • Or return it if both parties agree in writing

Most consignors love the donation option — it keeps things simple.

7. We Take Good Care of Your Items

Your items matter to us. We take reasonable care of everything in our possession.
However, we’re not responsible for issues outside our control — like fire, theft, or shipping damage after an item is sold and sent to the carrier. 

8. We Handle the Selling — You Enjoy the Earnings

Seriously, that’s the whole joy of The Consignery.  You bring the clothes (or we can pick them up)… and then you’re off the hook.

We photograph.
We list.
We negotiate.
We ship.
We track.
We maintain top-tier seller status so your items get more visibility and better sales. 

And you get paid.
