    How many items do I have to consign?

    You may consign as many garments, shoes and accessories as you like. However, you must consign
    a minimum of 15 garments (clothing pieces) to receive a ticket to the exclusive preview sale.  Shoes,
    bloomers and bows, etc are not counted in the 15 garment minimum. Large toy items CAN count toward your
    minimum. You receive 70% of the selling price.

    What is accepted at Boutique Repeats?

    We ONLY accept the very best in the very best condition! We will accept spring/summer clothing, shoes
    and accessories at the spring sale and fall/winter items at the fall sale. Both boys and girls items up to size
    12 garments will be accepted. We do not accept juniors sizes at this time. We will also accept coats at the
    fall/winter sale. Swimsuits will be accepted at the spring/summer sale, if they meet our brand requirements
    and are in like new condition. If you are not sure of a brand, condition or season, please bring it and let us
    look at it or contact us in advance. Designer labels, name brands, home trunk show brands, quality custom
    clothing, boutique quality shoes and accessories (hair bows, tights, bloomers, etc) are all accepted.

    You may bring monogrammed garments; they will be sized in with other items of that size. Please remember
    to price 3 letter or 'name' monogrammed items accordingly.

    Please click here for a more comprehensive list of brands and items accepted.

    Please contact us if you have any questions about a specific brand or label. We reserve the
    right to reject any item that does not meet our standard criteria for the sale.

    Do I need to pay a consignor registration fee?

    Starting with our Spring 2009 sale, we will be charging a flat $3 fee to consignors. It is deducted from your
    final check prior to sending it to you. The fee will be used to cover administrative costs and advertising
    expansion. We want to keep this fee as low as possible for everyone and feel that it is reasonable and fair
    to all involved. We will no longer be asking for SASE's and there will be no other fees involved at this time.

    What do I need to consign at the sale?

    To consign with us, there are some supplies that you will need before you start:
  • hangers (child size for size 8 and below),
  • safety pins,
  • card stock (heavy weight paper) in white or ecru to print tags on,
  • access to a computer and printer
  • ziploc bags and clear packing tape for accessories or shoes,

    How do I tag my items?

    Clothing should be hung on appropriate sized hangers (no adult sized hangars, unless children's size 8 or
    larger) with the hanger making a question mark when you’re looking at it. We suggest that you pin the
    pants to the hanger and then hang the top over it to reduce the chance that they will be separated.
    You MUST use safety pins! NO STRAIGHT PINS WILL BE ACCEPTED!

    All tags must be made with our inventory system in the link provided to you. You will print your tags at
    home. Please print them onto white/ivory/ecru card stock (heavy weight paper) and cut along the lines provided.
    The tag needs to be secured with a safety pin on the left hand shoulder of the garment (on the right side
    if you are looking at the item). If you have a tag gun, you  may tag the garment at the neck line to avoid any
    damage to the garment. Please see the photo below for examples of WHERE to tag your item and HOW to
    hang your item--the tag will look different, but the placement is the same. If the garment is silk or otherwise easily
    damaged, please pin it to the brand/size tag at the neckline. We want to avoid any damage to the garment.













    Please secure shoes together. Place them in a Ziploc bag with the tag taped securely on the outside of
    the bag. If they do not fit into a bag, tie them together or band them together with ties. Bows and other
    accessories can be placed in Ziploc bags with the tags taped securely on the outside or the tag can be
    tied onto the bow with string if no bag is used. If the accessory (like tights or bow) go with a specific
    outfit, place them in a ziploc bag, seal it and place over the hanger and tape securely to hanger.

    Tag Information:

                   Consignor Number and Item ID: This is filled for you once you've logged in and started inventory.

                  Description: Please provide a brief description of the garment, including brand name. For example,
                  Secret Wishes Smocked Strawberry Capri Set. This will help us locate the item if the tag is separated
                  from the garment. Also, if it is part of a set, please list this on the tag. You have two lines, with 24 characters
                  on each line.

    Size: Please list the size according to tag. However, tags labeled with S, M, L, XL will not be accepted.
    If your garment is sized this way, please put a corresponding number size on your tag, so we will place the
    garment in the appropriate place. For example, a toddler girl size "S" is much different than a big girl's
    size "S".  The same applies for European sizing, if it is 86, 90 or 100, etc.—please list the corresponding
    U.S. size.

    Discount: Enter "NO" if you do NOT want the item to go 1/2 off on Saturday; Enter "YES" if you do
    want the item to go 1/2 off on Saturday.

                  Donate: Enter "NO" if you do NOT want the item donated at the end of the sale (i.e. you are picking it up);
                  Enter "YES" if you do want the item donated (i.e. you are NOT picking it up)

    Price: We can’t sell if it’s not priced! Price your items at approximately 25-40% of original retail
    price depending on condition/size, etc. A good rule of thumb is to price the item at what you
    would pay for it at a consignment sale.  Please remember that there is an emotional price and
    a resale price and they are not always the same. Price it at the resale price.


    When do I drop off my items?

    If you are a returning consignor, you will log-in to our system and schedule your appointment. If you are
    a new consignor, you need to schedule a drop-off appointment once you've received you log-in credentials.
    Simply navigate to "schedule a drop-off appointment." We schedule in 15 minute increments. We make every
    effort to ensure that drop-off goes smoothly and you do not have to wait. We screen every item before it hits
    the floor. You will need to wait while we screen items, we will tell you if something is rejected.

    Your items need to be tagged and sorted by your inventory list BEFORE your appointment time. This saves
    you time while you’re here! We will return any items that do not meet the quality standard (i.e. stains, rips,
    tears, excessive wash wear, dinginess, low quality brand, etc.).

    We then place the items on the sales floor for you!


    How do I retrieve my unsold items?

    If you have items that are unsold, they will be sorted by consignor number and available for pick-up from
    6:00 until 8:00 PM on Saturday. If you are unable to pick-up your items, please designate SOMEONE,
    your spouse, neighbor, friend, sister, SOMEONE, to come pick them up for you. Otherwise, they
    WILL become property of Boutique Repeats and will be donated that night. If there is a death in the
    family, hospitalization or other UNEXPECTED EMERGENCY that occurs during the sale, please contact us
    immediately at 404.931.4243 and we will make arrangements for your items, otherwise we will be UNABLE to
    accommodate ANY special requests. We simply do not have a space to store or transport the items. If we
    make an error and one of your items is mingled with someone else's items after you've picked up, we will
    mail your garment to you after the sale.

    Any items that remain at Boutique Repeats after 8:00 PM on the final sale day, will become the
    sole property of Boutique Repeats, LLC.

    We make every effort to safeguard your items from theft, loss or damage; however, we are not liable for
    any of these items in the event it occurs.


    What if I don't have time to prepare my items for the sale?

    We try to make the process of getting your items ready for the sale as simple and easy as possible. In
    addition, you get to set the price. However, if you are simply too busy to prepare your items, we do have
    an item preparation service available for you. You will need to bring your items (on hangers) to us no later
    than February 29th, 2010 by appointment only. We will price and tag your items for you. Please note that if you
    do not tag your own items, we will assign a price at OUR discretion. If you use this service, you will receive
    55% of the selling price, instead of the customary 70%. The difference is for time, tagging and supplies.


    When will I receive my check from Boutique Repeats?

    Your check will be mailed within 14 days of the end of the sale. They are mailed via USPS.
    You receive 70% of the selling price.


    Can I volunteer for a work-shift to shop the preview sale even earlier?

    Yes you can!! We have a limited number of volunteer work-shifts available for set-up, during the sale
    and post-sale. Please register here. We also have opportunities for advertising dissemination available,
    which is a great option for those without childcare available. You will need to provide a list of dance schools,
    daycares, preschools or other places you will be able to distribute flyers. Email us at info@boutiquerepeats.net
    for more information on this opportunity.


    Can I advertise my business at Boutique Repeats? Do you have booth space available?
