Consignor FAQs
At our Spring & Fall events, we allow up to 300 items per consignor ID. We've had folks just sell an item or two or a consignor who fills THREE consignor codes with 300 items in each code! Please remember, the $12 consignor fee is charged per consignor ID. At our Winter Holiday Event in November, we accept 50 hanging infant items (0-9months) per gender, 10 WINTER Maternity items and a maximum of 200 clothing items will be accepted per consignor ID number.
Pre-labeling your barcodes is REQUIRED this season! To ensure maximum social distancing, you must pre-label AND have an appointment for drop off. Link to schedule drop off is on the main Northland website page! Option 1 - Let us print them for you free of charge. You can pick them up and label your items at the store on one of the Drop Off Days. (This is most popular.) Option 2 - Let us print them for you free of charge. You'll pick them up early (the day before check in) and label your items at home. Then bring your already labeled items on Drop Off Days. Your items will still be guaranteed as long as your items are brought to Consignor Drop Off in order that you entered them into the system! Option 3 - Print your barcode labels at home using a COLOR PRINTER. Follow the directions CAREFULLY that appear after you enter your items. Label your items at home. Bring your labelled items on Drop Off Days. You will need to sign a Release of Guarantee form.
First, sort all clothing items into sizes by gender. Then, sort into the categories by gender AND by size.

Fall/Winter Event (August)- Tops, bottoms, outfits, pj's, coats, sports and Holiday.

We suggest you set the price at 30% of the retail value. Baby Equipment, Furniture and Large Indoor/Outdoor Toys usually sell for more and are in high demand.
