There are four ways to participate in the sale.

Donate Items - Individuals can donate items to Catholic Consignments for the sale.  100% of the proceeds will go to support Catholic Consignments.  Email the Donations Coordinator for more information, or to arrange a time to drop-off your donations.  A tax receipt will be issued. 

Consign Only - Individuals that consign only receive 50% of the sales price for each item sold.  The consignment fee of $7 is deducted after the percentage is calculated.

Volunteer Only - Individuals that volunteer 3 hours of their time are invited to shop the pre-sale starting at 7 am on the morning of the sale.

Consign and Volunteer - Individuals that consign and volunteer receive 70% of the sales price for each item sold.  The consignment fee of $7 is deducted after the percentage is calculated.  Volunteers are invited to shop the pre-sale starting at 7 am on the morning of the sale. 

The consignment fee of $7 per consignor will help to cover the costs of the sale, including publicity and administrative costs.  Consignors do not need to be present at the sale; however, individuals need to pick up any unsold items they do not wish to donate to charity.

Consignors:  Are you looking for an easier way to tag & keep track of your items?  Consider checking out Tag-It. 

How to Consign

1. Read the Consignor Agreement.  You cannot register without agreeing to the terms of this document.    Highlights of this agreement include: 

   We will take good care of your items, but we are not responsible for any lost, stolen or damage items. 

   Items with an "x"  in the top right corner of the tag will not be sold at half price during the half price sale.   

   All consignors are charged a $7 consigning fee (which is taken out of your consignor’s check). 

   There is a $5 tag fine fee per consignor for tags not prepared correctly. 

   If an item is missing a tag, every attempt will be made to find the tag.  However, if we feel the item is valued at less than $10, we will sell the item and consider it a donation to Catholic Consignments.  If the item is valued at more than $10, it will be left for consignor pick-up.       

2. Decide whether you will “Consign Only”, or “Consign and Volunteer”.  If you “Consign Only”, you will receive 50% of the selling price of your items.  If you “Consign and Volunteer”, you will receive 70% of the selling price of your items. 

3. Register using the registration page.  The coordinator will contact you with your consignor number.  This number will stay the same for subsequent sales. 

4. Prepare your items for consignment.  This includes cleaning them, hanging clothes, attaching tags and pricing them, etc.  See the tag preparation and item preparation pages.  All guidelines must be followed or a $5 tag fine will be assessed. 

5. Drop off your items on Friday before the sale.  You are responsible for placing all of your items on the floor for the sale.  See the item drop-off page. 

6. Work your volunteer shift (if you are volunteering).

7. Shop the sale! 

8. Pick up your items after the sale (if you want them back).  Any items not picked up will be donated to Catholic Consignments.  See the post-sale page. 

9. Look for your consignor’s check 4-6 weeks after the sale (please be patient!). 

10. Pick up your tags (if you want them back) at a home in Ashburn.
