Before bringing your items
Inspect

Wash
Be sure clothing is clean and freshly laundered. No one wants to buy dirty clothes!

Neatly organize and fold all pieces into a bin or tote. This makes the sorting process much faster. We will NOT accept clothing brought in trash bags.

Stains, Fading, Discoloration or Odors
Holes, Rips, Tears
Pilling & Fabric Pulls
Missing or Broken Zippers

CONSIGNOR ID NUMBER
If it’s your first time consigning with us, you will sign up for a new consignor account using our computer system. Your new consignor ID number will be written on a card located inside your bin on the pick-up shelf.
IMPORTANT! You will need two separate consignor ID numbers if you consign at both Ephrata and Strasburg.
INSPECTION PROCESS
The associate will sort through and inspect your items as you shop in our store. The time it takes to sort through your items will vary depending on many factors, including the number of items brought in and the number of customers consigning that day.
Any items that were not accepted will be waiting for you to pick up in the consignment center.
IMPORTANT! You must pick up your items the same day you drop off before closing time. If you do not, your items that were not accepted for consignment will be donated and a $5 fee will be applied to your account.
We can not accept any items brought in trash bags.
Please bring clothes folded inside a storage container, tote or bin.

| Days on Sales Floor | Price Starts at $29.99 or over | You Receive 50% |

Please be aware your items are subject to our frequent sales and promotions.
At the end of the 60-day selling period, any unsold items will become the property of Fashion Cents Consignment. If you wish to retrieve your items, please do so before the end of the 60-day cycle.
If you have any items that you would like to consign and have a specific starting price in mind, use our free printable Minimum Starting Price Agreement Forms.
Just download and print the PDF by clicking the link above or grab one from us when you come in the consignment center! Attach the slip to the garment or item before you drop off.
For example, you want to bring in your Lululemon pants but only want to consign them if we start the selling price at $29.99. Just fill out the form and attach it to the pants. If we accept them with the attached slip, we will price it at your requested minimum. If we are unable to meet your requested minimum price, we will return them to you.
