How to Consign

To set up a viewing, I first need to know what styles and brands of items you have, as well as a few photo examples to ensure it's worth our time. Please reach out to jesse@closettcandyy.com with the below information and I'll be in touch with a link for you to book a date and time. Max 10 items per in-person viewing. If you don't have email, see the "Step Two Exception" above. Thank you!

​

  • Step One: Please review the criteria below to ensure your items meet the consignment standards.

  • Step Two: Take photos of the items that you would like to consign and send them via email to jesse@closettcandyy.com. It's okay if you need to send multiple emails, but please keep the descriptions with the corresponding photos. If photos are too big to send over email, consider creating an iCloud Link, Google Drive Folder, or Google Photo Album to share with my email. I will send you a link to book an appointment if your items are what we're looking for. I won't send a link unless I know the styles, brands, and sizes you have. This is to save us both time and energy! An example can be found below of how to send photos and info.

  • Due to the number of items that come in and limited appointment time, photos are needed to ensure our time is spent reviewing items we're interested in. If photos can't be taken for health reasons, please reach out with the brand names and styles of clothing you have via email. 

  • Step Three: Within one to four weeks of receiving your email, I'll approve certain items for the shop and let you know a good time to bring them in for an in-person viewing. Once the items are fully approved, they're tagged and inventoried within two weeks.

  • Step Four: After that, you'll receive an email from me with your inventory spreadsheet that also includes all details regarding payouts and your items. We keep your items for 8 weeks, and if they don't sell within that time frame you will be notified to either pick them up, or we will donate to a local thrift shop on your behalf with your permission.

  • IMPORTANT: Please refrain from following up before the four weeks or coming to the store to drop off your items before we've set up an appointment.

  • Please note: I do not send update about your items selling throughout the month, your spreadsheet is updated at the end of the month/first week of of the next month to highlight the items that sold in green. If you have no highlights, your items haven't sold.

Consignment Criteria

The goal of ClosettCandyy Consignment is to offer my clients and customers the best quality, style and price (within reason) for second-hand clothing, shoes, and accessories while ensuring as much clothing as possible is diverted from landfills. Before reaching out, please inspect all items closely to make sure they are in sellable condition.

  • Items must be free of cat/animal fur, purses cleaned out, shoes must be cleaned + free of scuffs.

  • Items must be freshly laundered, neatly folded or hung. Hangers are returned upon your appointment viewing

How to Consign with ClosettCandyy

Getting Started

To consign with ClosettCandyy, please reach out via email to jesse@closettcandyy.com with photos and a list of the items you would like to sell that match the criteria. Please include in the list: the price you paid, brand name, size, condition of the garment (approx how often it's been worn) and photograph items on a white or light background in a well-lit room. It's okay if you don't remember the price you paid either, I can do some research. See below for an example!

closettcandyy consignment photo example.

Item 1: Olive Green Utility Jacket

​

I Paid: $150

(if you don't know the price, that's okay! Send the brand, and I can look it up)

​

Brand: Cream

​

Size: Small

​

Condition: Like New. Worn 5 - 10 times

The Review Process

Within a few days to a few weeks of receiving your email, I'll review the items you've sent along and get back to you with a list of my selections and a link to book an appointment. It can take up to six weeks to respond to your email due to my schedule, the volume of emails that come in per day, and the amount of clothing I'm able to accept per week. I review everyone's email to see what styles and sizes have come in, and I select what works well together or what we're missing at the time. Our schedule is usually full two weeks in advance, so last minute appointments are not usually available.

​

Once your appointment is booked, you will bring your items to the shop at 94 Brock Street for a viewing. All appointments will be made via email. Please don't drop off your items until we've set a date and time—they will not be accepted if you drop off at your own convenience.

Payment Breakdown

The payout percentage per item is 70% for the shop, 30% for the consignor. Most items are priced at one half of the retail value or half of what the consignee paid ($60 = $30), unless the item hasn't been worn or this is too low for the value of the garment. In this case, the sale price would usually be 60-75% of the original or paid price. Designer items are listed below half price regardless of being worn in order to keep pricing reasonable. Items are priced on a case by case basis and the aforementioned breakdown isn't always exact. If an item has been on the floor for over a month or two, pricing will slowly be reduced. We will also sometimes accept price negotiations from customers.

​

E-transfers are sent at the beginning of the month for the previous month. It takes 15 days to get through everyone due to a high volume of transfers to send, and a $3,000 transfer limit per day, so you can expect your payment within the first 15 days of the following month—if your items sold. For example, payouts for the month of January are sent the first two weeks of February. 

​

Please note: I'm not able to answer emails about what items have sold, I don't send updates about your items selling, nor does our staff know what items have sold and when. All of this information is kept in your spreadsheet, which is a living document within Google Sheets. To know if an item has sold, you can check your spreadsheet either at the end of the month, or half-way through the month. Your spreadsheet is updated at the time of your payout—items that have sold are highlighted in green. If you can't view your spreadsheet, you will need to create a Gmail account and request access to view it once you've made an account. Google can help you do this! 

In the case of theft..

Unfortunately, people can be jerks and steal from small, local businesses. We keep a close watch on our store, have higher ends goods locked away, and are protected by an alarm + camera system, but ultimately we are not responsible for any stolen goods that are consigned with ClosettCandyy.
