Consignment Information
How it works
You do not need an appointment, but you DO need to come during our drop off hours which are: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday between the hours of 10am-4pm. No exceptions.
When you bring your items for consignment, we go through your items while you wait and hand back anything we decide not to sell in our shop.
Our policies:
Consignment rate is 50/50.
Payments are made once a month. We do not mail payments out; they must be picked up at the store. Monies are held for six months.
You must consign at least 5 quality items to establish a new account.
Consignment term is 40 days- after this time, you may pick up unsold items or they get donated at owners discretion.
Pricing is established solely at the discretion of Main Street Thrift staff. Age, condition of item and our past experience with the item you’re selling are all factors for pricing.
We accept only quality merchandise and are very selective. Please prepare your items before bringing them in- clothing items should be freshly laundered. Non-clothing items should be clean and dust free.
