FAQ 1. What is a consignment sale? The consignment sale has the following elements: Consignor Registration, Item Drop-Off (or Take-In), Pre-Sales, Public Sale, Discount Day and Item Pick-Up. Consignors set their own prices and receive a portion from the sale of their items (70% with Fancy Pants). We think this is a fantastic way for moms (and dads too!) to make more money than you would at a yard sale by selling the mounds of baby and kid stuff we all acquire when we have children. 2. Where and when is the Fancy Pants sale? The Fancy Pants Quality Baby and Kiddie Consignment Sale will be held from August 13 through August 17 at St. James United Methodist Church located at 845 87th Avenue North in St. Petersburg. 3. Why should I consign with Fancy Pants? First of all, YOU set the price for your items and unlike at most consignment stores, you get to keep 70% of the selling price YOU decide if you want to discount your items. WE do the work and YOU collect a check within seven business days of the sale, if not sooner. Our advertising will bring in lots of customers. Finally, consigning with Fancy Pants is a great way to meet other moms and have fun! 4. How do I consign my items? The first step is to familiarize yourself with what we accept. Then learn how to prepare and tag your items. At some point, go to the "Become A Consignor" page and fill out the necessary information. Then come to the sale on one of the Take-In Days (see #11) to check in and drop off your items. Then, we'll see you when you're shopping at the sale! 5. What is a Pre-Sale and how do I get in (or "qualify")? The Pre-Sales are a special way for our consignors and volunteers to shop early. In order to qualify for the Volunteer Pre-Sale, you must sign up to volunteer a three hour shift during the sale. For the Consignor Pre-Sale, you simply register as a consignor and bring in your items for inspection and acceptance into the sale. The Volunteer Pre-Sale is on Thursday, from 4PM- 8PM. The Consignor Pre-Sale is the same day starting at 6PM. 6. What items do you accept? TONS of stuff! Please see Accepted Items. 7. What if I don't want my items to be sold at a discount? If you do NOT want an item to be sold for 30% off on the last day of the sale, place an "ND" next to the price on your tag, otherwise your item will be sold at a 30% discount on the Discount Day (for No Discount). 8. What happens to my items that don't sell? Consignors have the right to reclaim anything that doesn't sell during the Item Pick-Up time. Anything that doesn't sell becomes the property of Fancy Pants. Most of these items will be donated to charities designated by Fancy Pants. 9. Most importantly, when and how do I get paid? Checks will be mailed out no later than seven business days from the Monday following the end of the sale. 10. Why are you such strict about quality? We are quickly becoming known as the premier consignment event in the entire Tampa Bay area. In order to maintain our reputation and to ensure our buyers have the best selection available, we are meticulous about the merchandise we accept. 11. What happens at the Item Take-In days? During Item Take-in, you should bring all your items to the St. James United Methodist Church prepared, tagged, sized and separated by gender. Someone from the Fancy Pants team will inspect your items to make sure we can accept them. You will be given back any item that does not conform to Fancy Pants policies. Please, take no offense if we return something to you, but we must enforce our quality standards. Your consignor number and contact information will be verified if you have pre-registered. If you qualify for the Pre-Sale, you will be given your pass at this time. 12. What methods of payment are accepted? We can only accept CASH and local CHECKS (with proper I.D.) Perhaps in the future we will be able to accept credit cards, but not now. Please note, Fancy Pants is required by law to collect sales tax. 13. Why should I pay a consignor fee? The consignor fee helps cushion the costs of advertising and rent. Advertising is expensive and we want to let as many people know about the sale as possible. 14. What if I have more questions?
