Consignment Rules and Guidelines

1. Shopping Rules: We accept cash and credit (no personal checks). A fee will apply for credit purchases (FPP passes on the fees incurred by using the vendor/service). Bring a bag to haul your finds! Please inspect items prior to purchase. All items are sold as-is, and all sales are final. Due to space limitations, shoppers may not bring strollers into the consignment saleroom. We also strongly discourage parents from bringing young children to the sale.

2. Registration Fee for Sellers: A registration fee of $5.00 for current and former FPP families and/or current FPC members, and $10.00 for unaffiliated sellers to cover administration and advertising costs is required at check-in. Cash only. Consignors must pay the fee when they drop off items for the sale.

3. Consignor/Seller Proceeds: Sellers will make 70% of the proceeds from their items that sell, and Fairfax Presbyterian Preschool will make 30%.

4. Electronic System: Sellers must register all items for sale online using My Consignment Manager, an electronic inventory system. Details regarding the system are explained below.

5. Pricing Guidelines and Tags: Sellers set their own prices for all items, starting at a minimum price of $1 and using increments of $0.50. Sellers also indicate whether items are to be discounted 50% on Sunday. Please keep in mind that items priced too high won’t sell. Price tags must be printed from the My Consignment Manager system on white or very light colored cardstock. Tags should be securely attached to each item with safety pins or tape.

6. Allowable Items: This is a children’s fall/winter sale, so please NO swimsuits, shorts/tank tops, flip flops, pool/beach gear, etc. The sale is limited to children, maternity, and nursing items. This includes clothing, accessories, toys, and children’s furniture. While a kid’s bike is okay, a coffee table is not. Items must be in good condition—not stained, ripped, or heavily worn. Toys must have all parts and working batteries. No car seats. Booster seats are okay. Fairfax Presbyterian Preschool reserves the right to refuse any item it deems inappropriate or not meeting the quality standards of its consignment sale. Items will not be accepted if they are not in good condition.

7. No Recalled Items: It is the consignor’s responsibility to ensure that all items submitted to our sale comply with applicable law and that no items are the subject of any prior, pending, or threatened recall notice or other consumer protection enforcement action as listed on the Consumer Protection Agency’s website.

8. Payments: Proceed checks will be mailed to consignors within 15 business days from the date of the sale. Checks not cashed within 90 days from the date of issuance will be void and the proceeds will be donated to the preschool. Checks under $5.00 will not be issued, and the proceeds will instead be donated to the preschool.

9. Unsold Items: Items that do not sell on Saturday will be discounted 50% on Sunday if you have chosen to discount. If you have chosen not to discount, your item will still be for sale at the full price. Items not sold at the Sunday sale must be picked up immediately following (beginning at noon). Any items not sold and not picked up by the seller by 2:00pm will become the preschool property and will be donated/used at the school’s discretion. If you do not want an item donated, you must pick up the item on Sunday at the designated time
