TaggingAfter you have signed up to consign, it's time to start tagging! Use our barcoded tagging system and print on white or ivory cardstock only. Regular paper can become easily detached from your item, and colored paper is harder for our bar scanners to read. When tagging clothing, attach to the tag or seam on the item itself- DO NOT affix your tag to the hanger or other packaging. A retail tag gun is worth the small investment if you have a lot items. A vertical safety pin is acceptable as well. Do not use straight pins, ouch! Make sure all items that go together are attached to one another. When tagging large or irregular objects, use common sense, just make sure the tag is clearly visible and that it will not damage the item when removed.

PricingYou are absolutely in control of the price of each piece. We want you to be happy with the price your item sells for, of course we also want your items to sell well. Use common sense and consider the brand and condition. Try to think what you would pay for the item in excellent used condition. It will be purchased quickly if it's a bargain. When possible, include original packaging. Also, multiple piece outfits tend to sell better than individual pieces. If you are not sure what to price an item, refer to the pricing guide. Please stay in 50 cent increments; $6.50 or $7.00- not $6.49 or $6.99. Optional guide: Brands such as Old Navy other store brands: Single top, bodysuit, leggings, skirt, pj’s, other basics $1-$4 Jeans, sweaters, jackets, dresses $3-$8 Multi piece outfits: $5-$12 Name brands including Gap, Gymboree, Hannah Andersson ect. Single top, bodysuit, leggings, skirt, pj’s, other basics $3-$8 Jeans, sweaters, jackets, dresses $5-$16 Multi piece outfits: Top & bottom $6-$14 Several pieces $9-$20 *If you have many pieces from the same line, we would recommend making them into outfits vs selling as individual pieces or trying to sell them altogether. Very High end such as tea collection, baby cakes, baby nay, Catamini, Janie and Jack other boutique and European brands: Single top, bodysuit, leggings, skirt, pj’s, other basics $5-$14 Jeans, sweaters, Jackets, dresses $8-$20 Multi piece outfits: Top and bottom $10-$18 Several pieces $14-$28 Shoes sell best in the $4-$8 range, making exceptions for higher end shoes that are brand new.

Do you accept all seasons of clothing at both sales?Yes. At Crème Brulee, we believe that many moms look ahead to the next season/size when making their purchases, so we allow our consigners to bring all seasons. Keep in mind that some items, such as swim wear and Christmas dresses, sell best in their proper season.
-
What if I want to consign but I can't make the drop-off or pickup times?Drop off times are available from 2:00pm-5:00pm on Thursday the day before the sale opens to the public. Pick up is available from 7:00-8:00pm on Saturday. You may have a friend of family member do either for you if you cannot make it. We are unable to transport items to the sale for you, or hold your items after the sale has ended. If you do not pick up your items, they are immediately donated
-
I have some cute clothes that are in excellent condition, but they aren't very high end brands. Can I still consign them with you?"Yes, we will accept a stylish piece of clothing in great condition even if it’s not name brand. What we want to avoid is someone who wants to consign only store brand/outlet type clothing. If this is mostly what you have, then probably this is not the sale for you.
-
What if I have lots of great stuff, but no time to prepare it?"If you don't have time to clean, press, price and tag your items, you may be invited to take advantage of VIP Tagging, and we'll do all of that for you. This option is available to consignors who have items that are in high demand with our shoppers, name brand, and in season. Preference will be given to clothing in sizes above 2T, as the smaller sizes are more plentiful at the sale. Email us if you would like to be considered, as this popular option fills up fast and may not be available too close to the sale. Upon contacting us about VIP Tagging, you will recieve a detailed overview of how this will work for you.
