Once you click "submit", you will see the online version of our seller agreement. After reviewing this document, you can choose to "continue" or "cancel" your registration. If you choose to continue the registration process, you will be taken to a screen with the following message:
"Thank you for registering as a consignor with our sale! Your consignor number is ###. You should also receive an email with this information in the next few minutes. You will now be taken to the consignor login screen where you can sign into your account."
At this point, please wait for a personal email from me. The system is set up so that you log in with your consignor number and password, but I will most likely be editing your consignor number as soon after you sign up as possible. I will email you with your actual consignor number, the next link you will need, and additional instructions as quickly as I am able.
Once you have registered, you will have access to our online tagging system. We suggest that you take the time to prepare your items and sort them by category and size. When you are done, you can sit down at the computer and quickly enter the information needed to generate tags. When preparing your items, make sure of the following:
- Your clothing is on hangers, in excellent condition, and free of stains and tears.We are accepting clothing in adult women's/ladies' sizes and junior sizes. You can also sell children's clothing, provided it is either dressy (something to be worn to holiday church services/parties/etc.) or specifically holiday themed (a sweater or onesie with Santa or a Christmas tree is okay, the same item featuring general winter themes like ice skates or winter animals is not).
- Your toys and other items are clean, in good working condition, with all of the parts included. Items that require batteries should have working batteries. For this event, we will only be accepting toys that are either new in the original packaging, or that could easily pass for new but out of the package. The idea is that all toys should be gift-quality.
Once your items have been entered, you can print your tags and attach them securely to your items. Please visit the "Tags and Pricing" section of the site for detailed information on tagging policies.
Drop off will take place before the sale. See "Important Dates and Times" for specifics. At drop off, we will check you in, verify your information and ask you to sign a hard copy of our Consignor Agreement. Please note that a completed and signed Agreement must be on file before your check can be processed. Whenever possible, we will check over items for quality and cleanliness. Anything that does not meet our requirements will not be allowed on the sales floor. You will place your items in the marked sections on the sales floor. Volunteers are available to help.
Volunteers can shop the Pre-Sale before we open to the public. See "Important Dates and Times" for details.
Pick up for unsold items will follow the sale. Pick up appointments are recommended if you would like to retrieve your unsold items. You can schedule an appointment using the "Volunteer" section of our online system. The appointments are in 15-minute increments. This does NOT mean that you are expected to collect all of your items within that time frame. As long as you arrive and check in during your 15-minute window, you will be able to stay as long as you need to (within our scheduled limits) to complete your pick up. Therefore, if you anticipate needing a lot of time, please select an early appointment.
If you prefer not to schedule (or are unable to keep) a pick-up appointment, our "Open Pick-Up" window is from 8:30-9:00pm on December 3. Please keep in mind that all consignors must leave the building by 9:00pm, so if you anticipate needing longer than thirty minutes to collect your items, please opt for an earlier scheduled appointment.
Any items not picked up during a scheduled appointment or our open pick-up window become the property of My Child's Closet. We do not have the storage space to hold items for later pick-up.

Checks will be mailed to consignors within two weeks from the close of the sale (most likely a good bit earlier). Consignors earn 60% of sales and volunteers earn 65%. We will notify consignors when all tags are scanned and the data is uploaded to the site. At that point, you can log in and see what sold and for how much!
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We are here to help you every step of the way!
