How it all works...

  • Make Money! Clean out the closets and turn your child's outgrown clothing or unused items into cash.  Earn more money than selling at a consignment shop and sell your items more quickly.
  • You set your own prices!  You know the value of your items and what you would like to receive for them.  You name your price and if you want to participate in our Half Price Sale.  Our pricing guidelines are also helpful If you aren't sure how to price your items!

  • Hassle-Free! Consignors with TotSwap...price, tag, and hang their items and bring them to the sale location during drop off hours.  We do the rest - we handle the location, advertising, publicity, the display and clean-up!  Just sit back and wait for your check to arrive within the week!  All checks will be mailed within five days of the close of the sale for 50%-60% of the selling price of your sold items.  

As a Consignor you will receive 50%-60% of the selling price of your items.  A $5 participation fee must also be paid upon registration.  Are you interested in receiving 55% or 60% percent for your items???  Learn how you can join us as a volunteer to increase your consignor percentage AND waive your registration fee!  Volunteers also receive a pre-sale pass for each shift worked to be the first to shop the sale!  Click here for volunteer information.
 
TotSwap features new and gently used clothing.  We do not accept items with stains, tears, excess wear, etc.  We will be inspecting each items that comes in for sale, so please only bring items you would consider purchasing yourself.  THIS IS NOT A GARAGE SALE.  Please do not be offended if we do not accept some of your items.  This enables TotSwap to maintain high quality sales and allows you, the consignor, to know that your items will offer only the best to the customers. 

To be a consignor...

1.  REGISTER online to receive your CONSIGNOR NUMBER.

If you have not consigned with us before, you will follow a 2-part process.  You will first set up a user account, and then register for a sale.  This process is very simple and will help you to create your tags quickly and easily!!  Our consignors LOVE this system.  It also allows you to get your check quickly after the end of the sale.  Click here to start the process and create an account.
 
 2.  ALL CONSIGNORS MUST
 
Register online for TotSwap to receive your consignor number.    Even if you have consigned with us before, you must register with this particular sale.  Click here to register as a consignor, from here you will create your consignor number and will be asked to pay the $5 registration fee.  Returning consignors will keep their previous consignor numbers.  Consignors numbers consist of the first letter of your last name + the last 4-digits of your phone number.
   
3.  GATHER and PREPARE your items for the sale. 

Wash, iron, and replace missing buttons on clothing.  Collect all loose pieces for toys and do what is necessary to ensure your items are in excellent condition.  We ask that zippers be zipped and buttons be buttoned.   The better an item looks, the better chance it has of selling and at a better price!

4.  TAG items

All tags MUST be printed through your user account with myconsignmentmanager.com.  You can log into your account here.   Tags must be printed on white or pastel card stock paper.  See Tagging for instructions.   
Hang all clothing on hangers (wire hangers work the best, but we are allowing plastic hangers this year.  They can be be purchased at Wal-Mart or the dollar store) with the hook opening to the left (like a question mark).
 
Please refer to our "Preparing Your Items" page for additional information on tagging your items.
 
Any item without a tag WILL NOT be sold.   

5.  DROP OFF items

All items MUST be on hangers at time of drop off.  Hang all clothing on hangers with the hook opening to the left (like a question mark).  Wire hangers work best but we are now accepting items on plastic hangers.  Please allow approximately 30 minutes for drop off as we will be screening items to ensure quality.  Drop off will go fast if items are hung correctly and sorted by gender and size.  All consignors will be required to sign the Consignor Agreement at Drop-Off. 

6.  PICK UP OF UNSOLD ITEMS

We CANNOT store your items after the sale.  If you would like your unsold items returned, you MUST pick them up at the designated pick up time.  Any items that have not been picked up after the designated times become the property of TotSwap and may be donated.  Sorry, there are NO EXCEPTIONS to this as we must be out of the facility and cannot store your items.

7.  PAYMENT

All checks will be mailed within 5 days of the close of the sale.  You will receive your check for 50-60% of your items sold!   All checks that have not been deposited after 60 days will be voided and consignors forfeits these funds.
