The Beanstalk, Consignment Sale
Why Consign
Why sell your items at The Beanstalk Consignment Sale?
What can you sell?
The Beanstalk Consignment Sale takes almost all types of products for big kids (size 6 and up) through juniors’/young men’s. Plus we have added a Women's Event for the Fall Sale and will accept Women's clothing, shoes and accessories up to Women's size 22.
Each consignor must have at least 15 items.
Consignors earn 65-75% of the sale price of their items that sell.
By volunteering for one 3 hour volunteer shift, consignors earn 75% of their sales and get to shop earlier at the Presale. You can read more about volunteering on the Volunteering page.
What happens to my unsold items?
Any items that do not sell, consignors may take back. If you do not want to take back your items, The Beanstalk Consignment Sale will donate your unsold items to charity.
How do I become a Consignor?
In order to consign, you need to register. You can do that on the Consignor page of this website. When you register, you will receive your consignor number and will be able to login to the site to begin adding your items and printing your tags.
Why is there a $10 registration fee?
Your registration fee helps cover the cost of the location rental, advertising, insurance, display racks, supplies, etc.
How do I tag my items?
Once you have received your consignor number, you can login to the site and begin tagging your items. Tagging your items is simple. Just input the details online (you can be as specific or general as you'd like, but remember the more details you provide, the easier it will be to match up your tag with your item, should it become separated).
With our new online tagging system, you can input all of your items, then print your tags when it is convenient. You do not have to do everything at the same time. It is completely up to you!
As you are preparing your items for sale, remember:
Who sets the prices?
Each consignor chooses how they want to price their items. We recommend pricing your items 25-40% of original retail. That being said, the lower you price your items, the better they will sell. You should think about what you would pay for the items if you were buying them.
At the sale, there is no negotiating the prices - the price on your tag is what it will be sold for. However, the last day of the sale is the 50% off sale day. It is up to you as the consignor to decide if you would like your items to be discounted on that day. When making your product tags, you may choose which, if any, items you would like to be discounted. We HIGHLY recommend that you allow your items to be discounted.
When do I bring my items to the sale?
After registering, you will have the opportunity to register for a drop-off appointment. Drop-off is typically the day before the sale starts. Drop-off should only take you about 15-30 minutes. We will inspect all the items you bring to make sure there aren't any stains, rips, tears, and that all items are working.
What other Consignor benefits are there?
As a consignor, you get to shop the private Presale!!!! The Presale is the day before the public sale - so you get first pick of the merchandise!
All consignors get to come to the Presale, however, if you Volunteer, you get into the Presale even earlier! (This is in addition to getting an extra 10% of your sales!) And, the more you volunteer, the earlier you get into the Presale!
What happens to unsold items?
You must pick up any unsold items on Saturday afternoon once the sale is over. If you do not want to or are not able to pick up your items, your items will be donated for you. You must decide to donate or not to donate each item when making your product tags. The Beanstalk Consignment Sale donates unclaimed items to multiple charities at the end of the sale.
