Consignment Procedures

Proper preparation produces profit! With Lucy’s massive increase of consigners, we’d like to take a moment to highlight the importance of prepping your consignment for drop off.
YOU ARE THE 1st AND MOST IMPORTANT PART OF OUR QUALITY CONTROL! Dropping off items that are stained, wrinkled, torn, or off brand means we spend limited time and resources processing clothing that we’re unable to sell. Please take a moment for EVERY ITEM to ensure they are:
-Marketable Brands such as Nike, Gap, Under Armour, Vineyard Vine, Matilda Jane, etc
-Without stains, loose threads, or holes
-And ask yourself “Would I buy this for $4.99 or more?”
-No more than 50 of your VERY BEST items
We are all immensely grateful for everyone in the Lucy’s community and with additional attention to detail, we’ll continue to grow together!

Take a look in the mirror, we’d like you to meet Lucy’s Marketing Department!
Now that you’ve dropped off 50 of your VERY BEST ITEMS and look forward to your check, the best way to ensure your items sell quickly is to SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT SHOPPING AT LUCY’S! You may have noticed we keep things simple, work long hours, and operate out of a 128 year old building…but Lucy’s continues to thrive and grow despite neighboring big box stores and online giants thanks to your word-of-mouth marketing!
You are part of a local, grassroots effort to earn and save money while saving the environment. Let people know about the good you’re doing, help friends and family save money, and sell your items faster by sending more shoppers to Lucy’s!
This week, tell a neighbor, friend, family member or POST online about the great deals at Lucy’s. Let’s spread the word and WIN TOGETHER!

These terms and conditions create a contract (the “Agreement”) between the consignor (“you” or the “Consignor”) and Lucy’s Consignment, LLC (“we” or “Lucy’s”). Please read this Agreement carefully. THIS AGREEMENT WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL YOU OR LUCY’S CONSIGNMENT TERMINATES IT.
