Consignment 101
Q? What is Consignment?
A. Consignment is the perfect way to turn your gently used clothes, accessories, or furnishings into cash!
As a consignor with Peach Pepper Jam, The Marketplace you provide your items which will be placed in the store. When an item sells, you will receive 40-50 percent of the sales price, depending on the designer.
Q? How/when can I bring items in to consign?
A. You may bring your items at any time during our regular store hours. We will choose which items we believe would sell in the store. If you are dropping off, we will separate all items not chosen and these should be picked up within 72 hours. If not retrieved within the 72-hour period, they will be donated to a local charity.
Q? What items can I consign with Peach Pepper Jam, The Marketplace?
A. We accept gently used women’s and teen girls' clothing, clothing accessories, household furnishings, and home decor.
​
Q? What are the criteria for items accepted?
A. Merchandise must be purchased and in style for the last 1-3 years and in excellent condition. Clothing should be clean, and free of stains, tears, or missing buttons. Items should either be on non-returnable hangers or neatly folded. Items new with tags are always a plus.
