It’s Sale Time!

DROP-OFF APPOINTMENTS:
You’re items are prepped and tagged. Now its time to bring it all down to the sale. First, you will need to log in to your consignor account and select a drop off appointment. Appointments are available on a first come, first served basis. All consignors must have a drop off appointment and come during their designated appointment time. We have a very tight time frame from set-up to sale start, so it is important to show up during your scheduled appointment time, not before or after. If you have any issues, please reach out to us at admin@prelovedthreads.com.

DROP-OFF LOCATION:
Drop off for the sale will be located at the “D NORTH” doors of the Showplex building at the Washington State Fairgrounds. Consignors will be able to drive onto the grounds through the Orange Gate (located off Fairview Drive on the backside of the fairgrounds). View the map below and click on it for a PDF version:

CHECK-IN:
Your 30-minute appointment will allow you time to check-in, load in your items, go through inspection, and place your items out on the sales floor. All consignors will go through an inspection to make sure items are all within the standards and on the acceptable list, however, that does not prevent items from being pulled during the sale if they are noticed to be stained, damaged, or not appropriate.

INSPECTION:
For inspection, you will put all of your hanging items onto a rolling rack provided to you (first come, first served). We will be looking through your hanging items to make sure that you’ve followed the selling guidelines, your items are properly hung and you didn’t miss any items that are stained, ripped, out of season, too old, or not suitable for the sale. If pulled, these items will need to go home with you. Staff may also pull items during the sale that are unacceptable and were missed during the drop-off process. Please have items sorted by size (smallest to largest) and clothing type (i.e. jeans, sweaters, jackets, active wear, tank tops, etc.) prior to arriving at drop off as that is how the sales floor is laid out.

CONSIGNOR AGREEMENT:
All consignors must complete the consignor agreement found in the online system when signing up and registering for the sale.

DROP-OFF TIPS

  • It is a good idea to lay your items nicely inside plastic totes, bins, or boxes. Please do not bring clothing in garbage bags. Items too wrinkled will not be accepted. You’re items should look ready to wear!
  • Arrive within the first 10 minutes of your scheduled appointment time. If you arrive too late, you will not have enough time to go through the check-in process and may have to wait until inspectors can squeeze you in between other appointments.
  • Come into the building and check in BEFORE you bring any of your items inside. Check-in time is pretty hectic and it saves time and stress to know exactly what you need to do and where to place your items before you start unloading.
  • Any boxes or bins brought in, need to go back out with you. We are strapped for space at the venue and do not have room to store anything during the sale.
