M&C Clothing and Gifts Consignment Process

Consignment Process

The information on this page is designed to help you make the most of each consignment drop-off.  If you are choosy about what you bring, and we are choosy about what we accept, customers will feel excited to shop for top-quality and unique finds, and your items will sell! 

Together, we keep money local, are kinder to the planet and to people, and we have fun.    

Our Currently Accepting list changes monthly, please check it before your scheduled consignment appointment or call the store to confirm what we are / are not currently accepting 603-886-6727.

BOOK APPOINTMENT

Consignment Process

The Process

All Consignments are done by Appointment Only:

We offer 2 types of Consignment Appointments: Drop-Off or In-Person.

DROP OFF:

• You can schedule a Drop-Off appointment. On the date/time of your appointment, you would come to the store and go to the In-Takes area, fill out a Yellow Consignment Agreement Slip, place it in your bag and place your bag in the Green Bins.

IN PERSON:

• You can also schedule an In-Person appointment.  When scheduling an In-Person appointment, please add “in-person” next to your name.  On the date/time of your appointment, you would come to the store and go to the In-Takes area, fill out a Yellow Consignment Agreement Slip and one of associates will process your items with you and you can take back or donate items not accepted.

After your scheduled appointment happens, you will receive an email from us within a 2-week period alerting you of the items accepted and the retail price that they will be placed out on the selling floor.


Things to Consider when Deciding on what to Consign:

  • Bring a maximum of 20 items per appointment. To be fair to all of our consignors, we allow 1 scheduled appointment per week.
  • Please fill out the Yellow Consignment Agreement Slip at the In-Takes area of the store with your name, cell phone and email address.
  • Current style, good quality, like-new or gently worn condition only, items must not be older than 2-3 years, please: no stains, signs of wear and/or odor.
  • Items must retail for $20 or more. You must be ready to totally let go of these items.  
  • Designer/High-End items will need to be authenticated by the staff who has been trained to do this. Please call ahead to confirm that someone will be available to look at it.
  • Please empty and clean every pocket.
  • No hangers, please and thank you. 
  • Items must be freshly cleaned.
  • Clothing must be neatly folded into a bag.
  • We no longer have a “No Thank You Brands” list as it is impossible to maintain. Here is a much simpler way to help you know what to bring for consignment:  We cannot accept items that have a retail price of less than $20 because it would cost more to process them than we would make on them after giving a percentage to you.  Please note... that store brands of (Walmart, Old Navy, Target, Kohl’s, etc.) - will not be accepted regardless of retail price.
  • Please do not bring items with the intent of asking us to help you find and take-back what does not sell (exception: designer / high-end items).  Our pricing includes the cost of going through your items, entering accepted items into our system, tagging, hanging, steaming, displaying, selling, and passing unsold items on to places where they will have a new life.  Helping you find items that did not sell, requires manpower that cancels out any profit, and distracts us from customer service.  Clear your closet and your mind, by letting go before you come to consign.

Authenticity Commitment

  • M&C Clothing and Gifts Consignment is a secondhand shop and is not affiliated with any retail brand or designer. Copyrights and registered trademarks belong to the brand owner. 
  • All designer handbags and luxury items offered for sale by our store are professionally authenticated by an independent third-party authentication service prior to being listed. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell, and documentation is available upon request.

Pricing & Inventory Sales

• Our Consignment Agreement is for 3 months.

• At the end of the first full month of consignment, remaining unsold items will be reduced in price by 25%.

• At the end of the second month, the price of remaining unsold items will be reduced an additional 25%.

• After the 15th day of the third month, items that remain unsold will be given to local organizations to distribute to those in need.

• We make every effort to maximize the amount of money our consignors will receive. Accordingly, prices may (at our discretion) be reduced more than as described above if we think that they will not otherwise sell.

• The consignor will receive 40% of the sale of each item sold, in cash, or 50% in store credit.  Exception: if an item sells for over $50, consignor earns 50% cash or 60% in store credit.  

• Please Note:  Credit for any item that sold more than 24 months ago / 2 years ago, remains available as a store credit ONLY and will not be payable in cash.

• Regarding items that have not sold during your consignment agreement period; items under $50 will be donated.  We will try to call about items we have priced at $50 or more.  If you want to take those items back, you will have 48 hours to do so, otherwise they will be donated.

• M&C Clothing and Gifts is not responsible for damage, theft or lose of any consignment items received, displayed and/or on the sales floor.
