other “like”
designers. Only
the real ones,
please! We will
not consign copies.
• Shoes
are a tricky business.
If possible, we
are even more
particular about
shoes. They truly
must be “like
new” and
best sellers are
Stuart Weitzman,
Ferragamo, Fendi,
Taryn Rose, and
other trendy boutique
labels.
• 40/60
split between
consignor and
worththewait, with 40% going to the consignor.
• All articles
are consigned
for 60 days. After
30 days items
are reduced by
10%, after 45
days 15%
and after 60 days
25%.
• After 60 days consignors have a 3 days (from expiration date) to pick up any unsold items. After the 3 day period any items left in the store will become the property of worththewait. Eventually, unsold items are always donated to the following charities: Judeo Christian Outreach Center, Samaritan House, New Hope Church, Open Door Chapel and Suited For Success. We also partner with Fairy Godmothers of Virginia for unsold prom dresses and formals as well as local non-profit theatre groups.
• Items
must be in perfect
“like new”
condition. We
are extremely
particular at
worththewait
in regard
to the caliber
of items we accept.
In addition to
better labels,
clothes must be
cleaned, pressed,
on hangers and
fragrance free.
Check for tears;
soiled collars,
cuffs, labels
and underarms;
missing or loose
buttons; moth
holes and general
overall appearance.
Please do not
just empty your
closet into our
store. It takes
time to go through
each person’s
clothes carefully
and our appointments
are scheduled
in order to give
each consignor
the time we both
need. We are not
a thrift store
– we are
an upscale consignment
boutique designed
to offer our consignors
the best possible
results when it
comes to selling
their items.
Pricing
Prices are established
by us. It is
our goal to
make as much
money as possible
– both
for the consignor
and for us.
We have an extremely
high overhead.
We want your
items to sell.
We price your
items approximately
75% lower than
full price retail.
This is a general
rule in the
consignment
industry. If
after receiving
the itemized
printout of
your consignments,
you are concerned
about the pricing
of any item
– just
call us –
we will be happy
to work with
you. We do not
always “hit
the mark”
with every item.
Pay-out
It is the sole
responsibility
of the consignor
to keep up with
their contract
due date. We will be happy to send you a check for items that have sold at the end of your contract period if you call us and make that request.
Your
money can be
used as a credit
for store purchase
at anytime as
well. We will
keep the money
due you on our
books for 4
months after
your contract
has expired.
After that time,
my computer
program purges
your account
information
and you will
forfeit any
money owed to
you. This gives
the consignor
a full six months
from the time
they bring in
their items
for consignment.
No
Thanks
Sorry, we do
not accept the
following: vintage
clothing, lingerie,
loungewear,
aerobic wear,
bridal gowns
or accessories,
costumes, estate
clothing or
jewelry.
Seasons
Spring &
Summer items
are accepted
January through
June. Fall &
Winter items
are accepted
August through
January. Fur
Coats, jackets
and stoles are
accepted September
through January
– this
is the best
window of opportunity
to sell them.
Layaway
Minimum layaway is $50.00, 30% down for 30 days and “sale” items cannot be put on layaway. If items are not picked up within that 30 day period the deposit is forfeited and items are returned to the floor. In fairness to the consignor, an additional 30 days will then be added to the consignor’s contract period. A layaway is considered a final purchase – therefore there are no exchanges or refunds on any layaway purchase.
