We accept gear as space allows. Please call before bringing

Strollers, backpack carriers, high chairs,
bouncy seats, etc. should be given
a good
cleaning
before
they
are brought
in.
Please
check the wheels of the strollers for dried mud etc. and make
sure fabric is free of noticeable stains. Due to safety and
liability concerns, we cannot accept second hand car seats.
* All gear must be less than 5 years old. Whenever possible, please
include the owner’s manual and assembly instructions.
* Baby gear is often recalled for minor problems. Please do a
quick recall search before bringing items in to save yourself trouble
transporting them in the event there has been a recall. You can
do a search on the Consumer Product Safety Commission web site: http://www.cpsc.gov/.

| CONSIGNMENT DETAILS |
|
We accept items on a drop-off basis. Bring your
things to the store anytime we are open. We will set up an account
for you in our computer, label all your bags/boxes and give you
a consignment contract. As time permits, we will go through your
items. The things we accept for consignment will be entered in
the computer under your account. The things we don’t take will
be set aside for you to pick up (we will call or email to notify
you) or will be donated with your permission.
Please save us time by pre-screening your clothing and other items
for stains or excessive wear. We accept items for the current season
only (no shorts, summery-items during the cold weather months.)
Consignors may receive 40% of our selling price by check
or 50% in store credit. For example, if an item sells
for $1.00, you will receive 40 cents by check or 50 cents in
store credit. In either case, no payment is received until after an
item sells. Checks are sent out at the end of each month for
any merchandise sold that month. Store credit accumulates as
items sell and remains in consignor’s account until applied toward
a purchase.
The consignment period is 8
weeks..
If the merchandise has not sold after 8
weeks, it
will be removed from the sales floor and donated.
Merchandise may be
reduced in price at the discretion
of Chloe's Closet, typically due to the item not selling in a reasonable
time period. Chloe’s Closet
is not responsible for loss of consigned articles through fire,
theft,
vandalism or
natural
disaster.
|
| PRICING |
| |
We will generally price clothing at around 60-80% off the retail
price depending on the condition. Gear will go for closer to 30-60%
off the retail price. We constantly check online for retail prices
and use the lowest advertised price as our base.
