Shopping Information
Shopping
-
Numbers are handed out for
both the public sale & volunteer sale. One number is given to one
person. You cannot get a number (or hold a space) for someone arriving
later. Once you have your number, you are welcome to wait in your car
until a few minutes before your entry time.
-
During the public sale,
shoppers are metered into the building. The first 100 people in line
are let in at 8 am. Starting at 8:15 am, 25 people are let in every 5
minutes. The line does move quickly and all shoppers who arrived by 8
am are usually in the building by 8:45 am.
-
At our sale you will find
gently used children’s clothing (infant through young teen),
toys, layette, strollers, large equipment, furniture, books,
videos and maternity items.
-
The sale is organized into
three major areas:
-
Clothing
-
Toys & Layette
-
Large Equipment
-
It is a good idea to bring a large
shopping bag (a mesh bag works great) or tub to help you carry your items
while you shop.
-
If you are bringing children with you while you shop, they must remain with
you at ALL times. Children are not allowed during the volunteer pre-sale.
The most successful shoppers usually leave their children at
home (keep in mind the sale is hot & crowded).
-
Please do not allow children to
play with consigned toys while you shop. Also, make sure they do not open
toys or remove consignor tags, even if you plan to purchase an item.
Your help in
this area is greatly appreciated.
Early Shopping Passes
A limited number of
early shopping passes are available for purchase (these have sold
out at all previous sales, so purchase early!). Passes are
$20 each and allow one person to enter the sale at 7:30 am (30
minutes before the sale opens to the public). Passes are first
come, first serve and must be paid for in order to be held (passes
are not guaranteed until payment is received). Payment can be
made by check or paypal. There are no refunds for unused
passes for any reason. Children and spouses must have their own shopping
pass. If you prefer to pay for your pass via check over snail
mail, email the
Registration Coordinator
to pay for your pass. Or, payment can be made
directly by paypal.
SOLD OUT!!!!!
Strollers
We do allow
strollers at our sale, but keep in mind you will be MUCH happier
without one. The sale is a crowded place & it is very hard
to maneuver a stroller around the sales floor. But, we
understand that sometimes it is just one parent, and the only way to
shop is with the baby strapped into the seat.
Checking-Out
-
A 5% facility
fee will be added onto all transactions at the sale (except
Dollar Dash).
-
Only cash
and checks are accepted at our sale.
If using checks, please bring multiple checks to pay for
purchases.
A photo ID is required for all checks over $100. Please be prepared
to show identification at
check-out.
-
There is a $25
fee for any check returned for insufficient funds.
-
All clothing,
toys, and layette items will be purchased using the check-out in
the gymnasium. All large items will be purchased in the
large equipment area.
-
No refunds, returns, or exchanges.
All sales are final at the sale. Be sure to look over your items carefully
before you purchase it. We cannot guarantee that videos, tapes, software
or items requiring batteries are in working order.
-
If you are purchasing
an expensive item, be sure to record the consignor's
number from the item's tag. If the item fails to
perform as expected, you can contact the
Consignment Coordinator to get that consignor's
information and you may follow-up directly with the
consignor. It will be up to you and the consignor to
work out a resolution. Catholic Consignments will not
be held liable for the item.
Volunteer
Pre-Sale
-
Children are not allowed to enter the
Volunteer Pre-Sale out of safety for them and fairness to other shoppers. The only exception to this is nursing
infants who can be held in a soft carrier.
If you arrive at the Volunteer Pre-Sale with
children, you will be asked to wait for the public sale to begin.
-
Each volunteer will be allowed one space in line.
You cannot hold a space for another volunteer who is arriving later nor can you
bring a guest with you to shop (this includes spouses). If you would like
to shop with a friend or spouse, have them contact us about volunteering.
We have many needs for volunteers.
