Here are answers to some of the questions that you may have about the Popsicles Event. If you still have a question please email us.

Consignor Questions

Why is there a participation fee? The participation fee helps to cover a fraction of the cost for advertising, postage, insurance and rental fees. It takes a lot to put on an event of this size and to be able to sell "your" items for you.

I want to participate. How do I get started? It is really simple! Go to the "Register" page.

I am a previous consignor. Do I have to register for each sale? Yes!!

Can I use regular paper for my tags? No!!

Do I have to use safety pins to attach my tags? Yes!! Absolutely NO straight pins!! OUCH!!!

Can I have my hangers back? No, not from your sold items. We give away a lot of safety pins and a few hangers that are left at the end of the sale on pick-up day. Need Hangers? Some dry cleaners will give you hangers or sell them to you cheaply. Discount stores also sell them.

Do you accept short sleeves and onesies during the Fall Sale? Yes. We know that we layer in the winter months, so some short sleeve shirts will be accepted. Keep springy and summer patterned items for the spring/summer sale. Jeans are accepted for all seasons.

What happens at Drop-Off? It's really easy! First, consignor must check-in by signing-in at the "check-in" table (make sure we have your information correct) You will sign the consignor agreement form, get your Private Sale Pass & Friend Pass. Second, bring your items in to be checked. You will be directed to an inspection table. Please do not be offended if any of your items are rejected for the sale because it is really easy to miss blemishes at home. It happens to all of us! Third, after your items have been inspected, you take them to the sales floor. The racks will have signs for the different sizes of clothing and the tables have signs for all other items.

How much time do I need to allow for Drop-Off? About 30-45 minutes. This does depend on how many are dropping-off the same time you are and if you have followed our guidelines for what we accept and how to tag your items.

Can someone else drop-off my items? Can someone else pick-up my items for me? Yes and Yes. The person that drops-off your items will be responsible for taking you the rejected items (if you have any!) and putting your inspected items to the sales floor. The person that picks-up your items will be responsible for looking for all of your unsold items. For example, they will need to know if you put shoes in the sale, so they will have to look thru the sorted shoe baskets.

Can I bring my friend, cousin, etc. with me to the Private Sale? No. You may only bring your husband or grandma along to help you shop!! We give one FRIEND PASS to each consignor or volunteer to give away to that friend or cousin. The friend pass only allows 1 person in --no husband or grandma. Check the Upcoming Sale page for their times to shop.

Pricing Questions

How do I decide what to price my items? This is our most popular question and the hardest to answer. Here are some basic suggestions on pricing.

 

Volunteer Questions

Who can volunteer? Anyone! You do not have to consign to volunteer. It is on a first-come first-served basis.

Can I volunteer for more than one shift? Yes. The more hours you volunteer the more perks you get!!!

I'm pregnant, can I still volunteer? Yes!! For those that need to stay-off their feet, we have several positons available for you!!

Shopper Questions

Are there any parking fees or entrance fees? No

Can I bring something to carry my items while I shop? Absolutely!! Please, bring a laundry basket!! You can attach a rope or belt so you can "pull" all your goodies while you shop!! We do have a "Hold" area for ONLY LARGE items.

How often is the Popsicles Kids Consignment Event? Only 2 times a year. Usually, our Spring/Summer Event is held in February and our Fall/Winter Event is held in October.

What is the return policy? All sales are final. We suggest you hold on to the item and sell it our next sale.

Can we "try on" the clothing? Sorry, but no. This is for security reasons. We suggest that you bring a tape measure to check for the correct sizes (measure your child's waist, length, inseam, etc. before you come to the sale).

What forms of payment do you accept? Cash or check. *A $25 fee will be charged to all returned checks and we do turn all hot checks over to the Prosecuting Attorney's office.

How do I know if something is NOT half price on Saturday? An item is NOT half-price if there is a Black STAR.
