What
is "consignment?"
When you consign an item to be sold, it
means you partner with From My Room to sell
it. While you do not receive payment until
after a sale is made, our consignors tell us
that they make significantly more with
consignment than with a traditional resale
shop that buys your item outright. In this
case, your patience is rewarded!
How much can I make with consignment?
We pay our consignors 40-50% of the sale
price of their goods depending on the type
of merchandise and the selected payment
option.
What about higher value items?
We offer a
Top Shelf
consignment agreement for specific
higher-value items, including high end
clothing, shoes, furniture, strollers and
other equipment. The special terms
include higher percentage payouts, longer
consignment periods and your item featured
on this website. Please ask to find out if
your items qualify for this program.
Will you accept anything I bring for
consignment?
Because we've had such an overwhelming
response from the community, we are able to
be very selective about the goods we accept
for consignment with From My Room. We base
our decision to accept upon a number of
things such as condition, demand, style,
season, desirability, and compliance with
our consignment policies.
What is express consignment?
Express consignment is a
drop-off program with no waiting. Only as an established consignor,
can you take advantage of this option. We will accept
those items that we can put into inventory and you
return to the store within one business day
to pick up the unaccepted items or request
that they be donated. This
saves you time if you prefer not to wait
while we review your items.
When do I get my money?
This varies based on the
payment option selected. Checks are
available monthly on the 16th
of the month. A check will be printed for
any cash balances over $10.00 and either
held for pickup in the store or (if
selected) mailed to you. We also offer
an option of having consignment amounts
deposited into your Paypal account.
Inquire at the store for further details.
Do I need an appointment to consign?
Appointments are strongly recommended.
We ask that you call first to make sure we have
the staff, time and space to review your
items. We try to accommodate walk-ins
but cannot guarantee acceptance. Those
with appointments will be given preference.
Can I reclaim my items if they don't
sell?
Unsold items picked up before the end of
the 60 day consignment period are subject to a
return fee. After the 60 day
consignment period has elapsed you may pick
up unsold items per our consignment return
policy outlined in the contract.
What happens to my unsold items after 60
days?
You receive your consignor
percent on all sold items, regardless of
when they sell. Clothing remains on the
floor until the end of the season.
After the season is over we donate to
various local organizations. All other items valued at
over $25.00 are not donated without your
consent. Items valued at under
$25.00 may be
donated once past the consignment period.
How do you price the items for sale?
We consider the original sales price as
well as research current resale prices. We take into
account quality, condition, and demand and
then price the item at a fair price that reflects
the value to the consignor while still
providing the purchaser with a bargain.
Can I return something if I don't like
it?
To be fair to our consignors, we have a
no refund policy. Exceptions can be
made for special circumstances only if
approved before purchase. Please check your items
carefully before leaving the store. Although
we check them thoroughly it is possible that
some defects get by us.
What if I am looking for a specific item?
If there is a specific
item that you are looking to purchase and we
do not currently have it at our store, you
may come to the store and put your name
on a wish list. When the item is received
you will receive a phone call or an email
and advised of it's availability.
Can I put something on hold?
Items can only be put on hold for
a maximum of 24
hours and all holds must be requested in
person.
How
do I know when to bring in seasonal
items?
The
consignment calendar on this website gives
general guidelines. In addition, if you are
on our email list you will receive
newsletters that will give the exact dates.
And it is always recommended that you call
before bringing any items in.
How
can I help to keep costs down?
Help keep costs down by packaging toys
with pieces securely in a see-through bag if
possible. The clear plastic bags with
zippers that you get with many items are
ideal for this purpose. And if you
have extra bags like those, bring them in to
help us package other items. We can
also use packing materials like sturdy,
mailable boxes, foam peanuts, and bubble
wrap. By bringing these materials to
us, you are recycling too!
Do you have any job openings?
From My Room welcomes you to stop in to
our store and fill out an employment
application.
