FAQ's
Q~How does this "work"? A~We are a Consignment Shop. Everything in the store is on consignment which means we sell it and you, as the Consignor, receive a % once it sells. When you bring items in during consignment days and hours, we go through your items while you fill out our contract. Once we decide what we will accept, you add items to the contract. We price your items then email you a copy of the contract.
Q~How often do I collect a check? A~Our payout days are the first Thursday of every month in Hinsdale. Consignor must come into the store to collect a check or request via email before payout day. We can Zelle you if items are shipped from out of state OR Consignor moves while consigning with us.
Q~How do I find out if something has sold that I brought in? A~You, as the Consignor, are responsible for emailing us to check on your account balance. Always email, per contract, 2-3 days before payout for most current amount. Hinsdale~Kelseyresale@gmail.com
