Is there a consigner fee to have my items there? Yes, there is a $5.00 fee to sell your items. This will be deducted after all sales are finalized.

What is my take home percentage if I decide to sell? 80%, minus a $5.00 consigner fee.

Do I get any other benefits for consigning my items? You will be given an early shopping pass that will allow you to shop between 12:00-1:00 pm before the general public is allowed in. Sell the items you are no longer using, but let someone else do the work!

Am I allowed to bring my children with me to the ReSale? You are welcome to bring your children with you to the sale, however, we prefer that strollers are not brought into the shop due to the amount of space.

What items are acceptable? Items that will be accepted to sell at the BB&B Annual Re-Diaper Sale include the following, but are not limited to: cloth diapers – diaper accessories - covers - inserts - training pants - slings - wraps - handmade items - soft-soled shoes - wooden toys - diaper bags – or other items similar to what we sell at BB&B.

What items are not acceptable? Items that will not be accepted to sell at the BB&B Annual Re-Diaper Sale include the following but are not limited to: everyday clothes – plastic toys - any items that are torn, dirty, unwashed, or stained beyond repair - recalled, broken, or items with missing parts. All items will be checked to make sure they meet our standards or safety and cleanliness. If you are in doubt about one of your items, please do not hesitate to call and ask us 319-364-1144.

What do I price my items with? We have created price tags for you to use. Please stop into BB&B to pick up your tags between Oct 6-15. We recommend that you pin the price to the tag of your cloth items. Please Do Not Use Stick Pins or you will be asked to replace your pins with safety pins before we will allow you to drop them off. If your item is a hard surface, we suggest you tape your tag on top and bottom.

Who decides the prices of my items? You are responsible for pricing and tagging your own items for the sale with our provided tags. BB&B tags must be used. Tags can be picked up from BB&B between October 6-15.

Pricing Tips: Your objective should be to sell your item. If it is priced too high, it won’t sell. We suggest pricing used items at 1/3 to 1/2 of the original sale price; however items that show more signs of wear will probably not sell unless you lower the price even more. Try not to attach sentimental feelings to your item as this can lead to overpricing. Try to place yourself in the shopper’s shoes, look at your item, and ask yourself, “Would I buy this item, in this shape, for this price?”

When do I drop off my items? You will need to drop off your items between Oct 6-15, 2011, during shop hours: Mon 10-3, Tues 10-3, Wed 10-7, Thur 10-3, Fri 10-1, Sat 10-2. Please note we will not be accepting items Friday, Oct 16 or Saturday, Oct 15, before the sale begins.

Where do I drop off my items? Your items will need to be dropped off at BB&B for inspection. We will be inspecting your items for cleanliness, usability, no missing parts, etc… and any item that does not meet up to the quality of this sale will be rejected at time of inspection. Note: Items must be tagged and priced prior to drop-off. It is not the responsible of the BB&B staff to do so. Tagging and pricing should be done at home prior to drop-off. Items that are not tagged properly will be rejected.

When and how will I get my money from the items sold? We will have a check in the mail after the sale is over and any unsold items have been picked up. We will need time to calculate your earnings and make sure the appropriate amounts get distributed to you.

When do I pick up my unsold items? You will need to pick up your unsold items and consignment check between Wednesday, October 19th and Saturday, October 22nd. If all of your items sell, we will notify you by phone after the sale to let you know there is nothing to pick up. Please remember, if your items are not picked up during this time we will donate your items to a local charity!
