HOW IT WORKS

Consignment is a fun and easy way to de-clutter and make a little pocket money along the way. Please be sure all items are in clean, current and sellable condition to avoid disappointment of some items being rejected. Depending on current inventory, some items may be temporarily passed on until space allows. Check the Consign tab under the ABOUT menu for items we do and don't accept.

CONSIGNING

  1.  $25.00 fee (deducted from your first consignment payout check) covers the shop year for BOTH the Home Shop and Clothing Shop.

  2. The Consignment Period lasts 6 weeks year round. It is the Consignor's responsibility to reclaim items (priced above $10) prior to the expiration date, or items will become shop property. Items not sold after the expiration date can be reclaimed any time.

  3. Consignor's commission is 60% of the selling price. NLS retains 40%. (one of the highest splits on the Main Line.)

  4. Consigning is done on a DROP OFF only basis, when the shops are open. Drop offs will be accepted until 3PM in the Home Shop, and Clothing Shop.

  5. The minimum consigning price is $7.00 market value. All items must be clean and in good condition. No items under $10 will be permitted for reclaims.

  6. The daily limit is 15 articles per visit in the Home Shop and 10 items in the Clothing Shop, not more than 5 items per category, unless posted otherwise. All items are displayed at the discretion of the shop personnel.
