Q. How do I become a consignor? A. Just register for a number! Go to the Register Now page to get started. Then at Consignor Check-in you will be required to sign a Seller's Agreement and pay an $8 Consignor's Fee. That's it!

Q. If I was a consignor before, do I have to re-register? A. Yes, you MUST register for every sale you want to consign in. Start by going to the Register Now page.

Q. What items will you take? A. Anything and everything for kids. (NO car-seats). If your child uses it, we sell it: baby equipment (cribs, strollers, high chairs, excersaucers, furniture, books, toys, videos, CDs, clothing, maternity wear, outside toys, ride-ons, etc, etc. 96% of our items sell!

Q. When can I drop off my items? A. Go to the Earn $ page to find the days and times of Consignor Check-in. Please allow enough time to check-in, fill out paper work, and have us inspect your items - usually 30 minutes (depending on the number of items you bring in and those who are waiting ahead of you) and to put your items out onto the floor.

Q. Will you take all of my items? A. All items are inspected to ensure the integrity of the Sale and must be tagged the WeePeats way. See the How To Tag page to learn how. Please do not be offended if some of your items are not accepted. Remember you too are a buyer, so select and price your items according to your standards. Your items must be complete (puzzles, toys, all its buttons, etc.), clean, not broken, or damaged in any way. They must also be free from pills/fuzzies, animal hair, odors (smoke, mold), tears, stains, and priced by YOU. These guidelines are to ensure a successful sale!

Q. I want to consign, but don't have time to prepare my items. Will you do it for me? A. YES! We offer a Tagging Service for those too busy to do it themselves. We will pick up, prepare, hang and price your items for you, which will earn you 40%. Just email wepeats@frontiernet.net to reserve your spot. There is a limited number of Tagging Service consignors that are accepted and the consignor fee for Tagging Service is $10. The last date to have your items into our hands is March 21, 2008.

Q. Is there a limit as to how much I can bring? A. Yes. Unlimited non-clothing items. Clothing items are limited to 150 hanging items per consignor (an outfit w/more than 1 piece on a hanger is still just one item). Shoes are limited to 10 pairs per consignor.

Q. As a consignor do I have to be present at the Sale, man a table, sell my own items? A. NO! That's the beauty of WeePeats; we do it for you. We are a registered retail business which means we pay taxes, insurance, rent and staff the sale for you so that YOU EARN MONEY. Just drop off your items at Consignor Check-in, tagged the WeePeats way - with your consignor number, and get ready to receive your check!

Q. How much does a consignor earn? A. Consignors can earn as much as 75%! Each consignor earns 60% of their total sales; 70% if they volunteer to work a 4 hour shift, and an extra 5% if they refer two new consignors who wind up consigning at the sale. (Referrals must note the name of their friend in order for their friend to receive credit. Good for one sale only)

Q. What happens at the end of the Sale? A. If you choose to donate your items at the end of the sale, make sure your write "D" on the bottom right hand side of your tag. Then we will donate your items to a charity of our choosing (without receiving tax credit). If you want your items back, (to hold for the next sale!) then you MUST pick them up during the designated Consignor Pick-up time. * ALL items not retrieved by the end of Consignor Pick-up WILL become the property of WeePeats.

Q. Will I have to find all my own stuff at consignor pick up? A. If you tag your items the WeePeats way, it'll be EASY! We have a color-coded system (see the How to Tag page) that will make Consignor Pick-Up a breeze.

What Can I Sell?:

A. Anything and everything that a child uses, consumes, needs, etc. from ages Preemie to Preteen, except for car-seats.

Q. Are jeans/pants considered "seasonal"? A. We accept jeans and pants at all of the sales. Capris are only accepted for the Spring/Summer sale. Heavy sweatpants, corduroy, velvet and velour pants are only accepted for our Fall/Winter sale.

Q. What about T-shirts? A. Only plain & character (Barbie, Batman, etc.) shirts will be accepted. Those promoting events, locations, or organizations will NOT be accepted (day camp, souviner, little league, etc.)

Tagging & Pricing Your Items:

Q. How do I price my items? A. Items should be priced for an amount that YOU would be willing to pay for the them if you were the shopper. Generally, if you price your items at 25 - 30% of retail (depending on the items' brand, quality, etc.) they will sell. Price competitively. It adds up fast! We STRONGLY suggest you let your items go for half price.We'd rather give you a bigger check than a lot of unsold items!
