Consignment 101

Q?What is Consignment?

A.

Consignment is the perfect way to turn your gently used clothes, accessories, or furnishings into cash! As a consignor with Jilson’s, you provide your items which will be placed in the store. When an item sells, you will receive a percentage of the sales price. Plus, you’ll end up with a much less cluttered closet!

Q?How/when can I bring items in to consign?

A.

You may bring your items at any time during our regular store hours. We will choose which items we believe would sell in the store. If you are dropping off, we will separate all items not chosen and these should be picked up within 72 hours. If not retrieved within the 72 hour period, they will be donated to a local charity.

Q?What items can I cosign with Jilson’s?

A.

We accept gently used men’s clothing, accessories, and some furnishings (a cool vintage ashtray, art deco lamp, etc.)

Q?What are the criteria for items accepted?

A.

Merchandise must be in style and in excellent condition. Clothing should be clean, free of stains, tears, or missing buttons. Items should either be on non-returnable hangers or neatly folded. Items new with tags are always a plus! You may refer to our brands list to see a number of the makers that we accept.

Q?How much do you pay when the item sells?

A.

You as the cosignor will receive 45% of the final sell price before tax.

Q?How do I get paid?

A.

You may pick up your check after the 10th of each month. Clients who live out of the area may choose to have their check mailed to them.

Q?What happens to an item that doesn’t sell?

A.

Items are consigned for a period of 90 days. Any items remaining five days after the consignment period become property of the store. You are welcome to pick up your unsold items. Simply notify us by the end of the contract date.
