THIS TAB AND THE TAB NAMED FOR THE LOCATION IN WHICH YOU WILL BE CONSIGNING ARE BOTH REQUIRED READING BEFORE CONSIGNING
CONSIGNMENT POLICY:
We DO NOT accept housewares, furniture, full fur coats, sports gear, bric-a-brac, art or children’s items. This shop specializes in selling fabulous, wearable 1990s-30s vintage clothing and accessories, as well as stylish and good quality modern secondhand clothing and interesting vintage and contemporary designer pieces. Our goal is to stock a wide variety of styles and sizes to offer a great selection of wearable everyday favorites, as well as a variety of showstoppers. With the volume we see on consignment days, please keep in mind that we must be quite selective. The best way to get a sense of the shop is to visit and browse!
The consignment procedure can be found on the tab named for the location in which you wish to consign, and is required reading for all consignors. If you do not follow the procedure, we will not consign your items.
First time consignors will be charged a fee of $5 to be paid by cash if we accept items on consignment. This fee is waived if you purchase something that day.
We have a 3 item minimum to start a consignment account, which means first time consignors must bring a minimum of 5 items (however it is recommended to bring the maximum of 15) for us to consider so that we can find at least 3 pieces for consignment. If we can’t find 3 pieces from the selection brought in, we can not take anything. Once the account is established, there is no minimum or fee to have your items considered for consignment.
The consignment term is 60 DAYS which begins the day your items are priced, not the day they are brought into the shop. After this term is completed, items are considered EXPIRED (see FAQS or read on for how to take back your expired items)
Consignors receive 40% of the sale proceeds OR 50% for items priced $100+. This split is for the price of goods sold, which may include discounts
Items are reduced up to 25% after 30 days to encourage sales and any other reasonable discounts are applied at our discretion.
Consignors are paid by check for items sold once the balance reaches $50. There is a $1 check fee deducted. Checks are issued mid-month automatically at a $50 minimum and mailed out soon after the 15th of each month. Once items have sold, your account balance will never expire or diminish in value, however any account inactive for over 2 years may have the balance transferred to store credit. Any balance value may be used as store credit at any time.
Balances less than $50 can be paid out by closing your consignment account. This means you will no longer be able to consign at Trilogy. Final payment will be issued on our normal check schedule.
Local consignors may be emailed about picking up their check. If anyone prefers it mailed we will do so upon request. If consignor doesn’t reply or come in for their check, it is mailed the following month.
At the end of the 60 day consignment term, consigned items expire and are forfeited to Trilogy Consignment unless the consignor has reached out by phone or email before the expiration date to request expired items be returned.
To collect any unsold items before they expire, simply call the shop where you consigned before your term is over and request we pull unsold items to be returned.
Consignors have one month to pick up pulled items starting from the date they are pulled and may come anytime during store hours. After one month, unclaimed items are forfeited to the store.
All consignors have access to a detailed personal account online where they may see an itemized list of their consigned items with description, price and status which updates in real time as items sell. Additionally there is a tab for consignment balance owed, and a tab detailing past payouts, both of which contain a breakdown of each individual sale. The link to log in can be found at the top of the FAQS tab
All consignors are given a card at the time of their appointment with a suggested date to call in the event they want to pick up unsold items when the term is over. If you have misplaced it, please log into your account and consider your call date to be just a few days before 2 months from the "In Stock" date listed next to your active items. If you have questions, call or email the shop where you consigned your items.
PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately, theft does sometimes happen despite our best efforts to prevent it. In the event that theft occurs, Trilogy cannot be held responsible and is not obligated to compensate the consignor for missing or stolen items. Any compensation offered is done in good faith as an exception for extraordinary circumstances.
