Our Clothing Sale is a consignment sale of clean, top quality, new and used children’s clothing, sizes 0-14 both girls and boys.  There is a 70%-30% split, with the seller receiving 70%.  SPELC, which is non-profit, receives 30%.  Sellers receive a tax donation receipt with their check for the 30% donated to SPELC.

$10 Seller Fee. This Fee is waived if you volunteer over 12 hours at the Sale.  The fee is taken directly out of your seller check at the end of the Sale.  You will be asked to sign a Seller Agreement stating SPELC is not responsible for lost items or damaged items returned to you at Check Pick-Up.

PREPARING MY ITEMS FOR THE SALE:

See the Seller Instructions (Not available at this time) for detailed information on how to complete your tickets, where to put the seller number stickers and how to display the ticket on your items.

You get to set the price of the item, and all prices must be in $.50 increments, with a minimum price of $0.50.  When pricing, a good rule of thumb is 25% of the original purchase price.    If you wouldn’t buy it for that price, don’t sell it for that price.  We also sell baby equipment/books/furniture, toys and videos.  If we receive an item that is not acceptable, we will donate it to charity or return the item to you.

Check to see if any of your items have been recalled

You will sign a Seller Agreement which states that all of your unaccepted and unsold white ticket items will be donated to charity.

 

What to expect on the day of receiving to help the process go more smoothly:

• Be prepared to wait while your items are received.  Depending on the number of sellers ahead of you, this can take up to 30-40 minutes.
• Once your items have been taken back to the receiving area, please wait until a volunteer comes back out to talk to you.  They will return any items that have not been accepted.
• Sellers are not permitted past the Receiving Check-in Table.  We have volunteers that will take your items back to the receiving tables.
• If items are not properly tagged as per the seller instructions (i.e. tickets from other Sales or SPELC colored tickets from previous years), the items will be donated directly to SPELC.
