Consign With Us

Become a Consignor Here


Dear Consignors,

Thank you for participating in the Upscale Resale Spring and Summer event of 2013. We are VERY excited to once again bring this opportunity again to Camp Humphreys! To ensure the success of this event I have included a detailed instruction sheet to answer your questions. If after you read through all of this you still have questions please feel free to e-mail me at JenRamey427@yahoo.com or call me at 01044071556.

Consignors:
Consignors are required to provide a minimum of 30 clothing items, OR 15 other items (toys, bedding, equipment, etc.) to consign. All items must be tagged according to our tagging guidelines that are currently outlined on the “How to Tag” section. There is a Consignor fee of $12.00 due at the time of registration. This fee is to cover rental, set up and advertising costs.

What We Accept:
Anything and everything! Furniture, boys and girls, current mens and womens clothing, toys, diapers, formula, baby equipment, shoes, current maternity wear, books, bikes, DVD’s, Home décor and all types of furniture items, especially outdoor and sporting equipment. Stuffed animals are not allowed!! Only clothing for the season represented at the current sale will be accepted. In this case Spring/Summer clothes only!

Drop-Off Apt: Consignors MUST bring a labeled plastic tote (without the lid) to your drop-off appointment. We ask that you bring roughly one 18 gallon tote per 50 items (or leave half of the totes that it takes you to get your items to the event in). Your full name and consignor # must be written in black sharpe on all sides of the tote (if this is not done, you will be unable to reclaim your totes after the sale). NO LIDS PLEASE.

Drop-Off Do’s and Don’ts:
  • PLEASE BE ON TIME.
  • Any drop offs that come in after the scheduled time will not be put on racks until the following day or when time allows.
  • You can bring items during the weekend of the sale WITH prior notice. Although all tags MUST be made and printed by the deadline.
  • You will HAVE to leave a plastic storage container at the time of your drop off, if you are not donating everything. Clothes will not be accepted if you do not have a tote at drop off.
  • You MUST BRING one self-addressed, No.10 size business envelope; please include your consignor number beside your name. A $2.00 dollar fee will be deducted from your check, if we do not receive your envelope. IN order for you not to receive the fee, your envelope must be dropped off at the time you drop off your items for consignment. This is how you get paid!

Percentage earned:
  • Consignors will earn a 60% return.
  • Volunteer during the sale to earn a 70% return. Only a 4-hour shift of work required, AND you are able to shop before anyone else.
  • Please see our volunteer section for information on how to become a volunteer and earn more!
  • Earn an additional 5% by simply referring 2 NEW Consignors. They must be new to the sale and must give your name and consignor# at the time of registration. New consignors MUST consign with Upscale Resale, not just register.

Becoming a 75% Consignor:
Make sure to refer as many people as possible. After 2 new consignors put you down as referring them and completing a 4 hour volunteer shift, you become one of the ELITE Consignors, receiving the highest % available.

Pricing and Tagging Guidelines:
  • Price items on the dollar or half-dollar. (e.g. $2.00; $2.50)
  • ALL clothes items must be priced at a minimum of $2.00.
  • If you feel your item is not worth $2.00, match it with a pair of pants or shirt.
  • Items should be priced around 1/3 of the retail price depending on the brand and the condition of the item.
  • Traditionally there is a large amount of infant clothing from size 0 to 12 months so it’s better to price those items just a little lower to ensure that your items sell. (Especially 0-3)
  • You must use our tagging system using bar codes through ALL TAGS MUST BE PRINTED ON CARDSTOCK (I realize that cardstock is hard to come by here you may use photo paper or improvise as you see fit, your tags simply need to be thicker than regular printer paper.) All tags MUST be in the system by March 19th at midnight.
  • Safety pins are the easiest way to attach the tags on clothing items, tagging guns work well also. Please do not use tape or straight pins or your items will be sent back to you.
  • An item can not be sold without a tag, so please be sure to type in a brief description on each tag including the make/model or brand, along with any descriptive features. This is in case the tag becomes removed from the item.

What is NOT accepted: This sale is not intended to be a yard sale. ALL CLOTHING WILL BE INSPECTED.
  • We pride ourselves for our QUALITY not QUANITY. We will not accept clothing that has any of the following:
  • ANY STAINS
  • YELLOWING OF MATERIAL
  • FADED MATERIAL
  • BROKEN ZIPPERS OR MISSING BUTTONS
  • TEARS
  • WORN OUT KNEES, OR ANY MARTERIAL THAT IS FUZZY OR PIQUED
  • No adult clothing (other than maternity)

  • INCORRECT Tagging or Tag placement
  • Recalled or Expired Items
  • Crib safety information and requirements can be found at http://www.narts.org/safety/guide.htm.
  • No drop side cribs will be accepted as they have ALL been recalled and it is considered illegal to sell them.

Guidelines for your items:
  • All clothing and shoes must be washed\cleaned before you drop them off!
  • Clothing items MUST be brought in size order from smallest to largest. We also ask that you group each size together with a rubber band on the top of your hangers.
  • Remember presentation often sells the clothes or items!
  • Make sure all sizes match up with information on your tag; this will be inspected.
  • Shoes must be in excellent condition.
  • Make sure shoes are tied or buckled together - plastic ties work great. NO SHOE BOXES.
  • We recommend using wire hangers for your clothing.
  • Please make sure all clothes are hanging the correct direction and the tags are on the top right (when looking at the item) as seen in the pictures below

  •

  • Baby equipment MUST be clean!
  • Both equipment and furniture are very popular items and do well in sales if they are presented well and are clean.
  • All Hardware must be present at time of drop-off.
  • Make sure all puzzles and games have ALL their little pieces!
  • Books and puzzles sell best grouped together in a large zip lock bag. This is a great way to keep all pieces together. Be sure to Tape the ziplock bag shut to keep little shoppers fingers out.

  • Children videos, DVDs and computer games can also be put into zip-lock bags.

Shopping and more:
The sale will be open to only you, the consignor, on Friday the 21st, from 9am to 10am. This will be a great time for you to shop before we open the sale to the public. We have provided an entrance coupon that will get you into the sale on consignors day. You will receive it when you drop off your items and you must have this coupon to attend. We are also offering you special shopping passes for two friends.
Please, no early birds! No one will be allowed inside before the designated time on the coupon. THERE will be no shopping before the early shop day. Checks and cash are welcome. Children are welcome at the sale but MUST stay with parents at all times. Please do not allow them to handle or touch any items including the toy room. We take pride in the quality of all items to be consigned and want to ensure they are not accidentally damaged.

We make every effort to ensure all consigned items are taken care of, but we are not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged items. During registration, consignors are notified of this risk and take full responsibility of their items.

After The Event: As consignors you are responsible for picking up your items that did not sell. You can chose to either donate your items or pick them up. A portion of the items left for donation will be donated to the local thrift store on post and a portion will be donated to a local Korean orphanage. If you cannot make it to the site during consignor pick-up, you must make other arrangements. Due to rental arrangements, we cannot make exceptions. Any items left at the sale for any reason are subject to a transportation fee of $15.00. After Saturday the 23rd at 10am, abandoned items will become property of Upscale Resale, will be donated and will be subject to the $15 fee.
