Pricing

Consignors price their own items. For the Boutique Bash, we set a minimum price of $5, so all of your items must be priced at $5 and up.
PRICING TIPS
- Carefully consider the age and condition of an item when pricing. Scrutinize each piece as if YOU were planning to purchase it.
- Most of our shoppers shop only at our Full Price days, not our Discount Day. So price to sell at full price!
- Items that are priced too high simply will not sell! We suggest you price brand-name items in excellent condition at approximately ¼-⅓ of the original retail price.
- Please do not price any items higher than 50% of the lowest retail price available.
- Keep in mind your "competition". Will there be plenty of items like this one to choose from?
- There is always a plentiful selection of like-new infant sizes 0-9 months. They get little wear! So price these sizes on the low side. If your teeny sizes show any wear, we ask you to donate them to a great charity! Please bring only nearly new size 0-12mo items to the sale and price them low.
- On the other hand, if you have like-new, basic, brand name boys' clothing in sizes 2T-6, you will likely get the higher end of our recommended pricing as we have the fewest items in 2T and above boys sizes.
- You are consigning items in the sale in order to "SELL" them. Do not over-price!
- Put yourself in the shoes of a shopper and ask yourself, "Would I buy this item, in this condition, for this price?"
- Try not to attach sentimental feelings to your price. Emotion will often lead to over-pricing.
DISCOUNT OPTIONS
Remember your discount options too.
- We hold a 50% clearance sale on the final day of the sale.

TAG DETAILS
Use white 65-67lb cardstock if you wish to donate your leftover items before Pickup at the sale end. Use your assigned cardstock color (listed in your registration confirmation email) if you wish to pick up your unsold leftover items. We change consignors to a 55% fee if they use any other color cardstock besides white or their assigned color or if they use regular weight thin paper.
See the How to Tag page for important details about tagging your items so they will sell well!
