Easy steps to consign:
Know what we look for :
-We look for clean, quality, contemporary women’s clothing, shoes and accessories in up-to-date styles (within the last 3-5 years) in excellent condition. Items with holes, stains, strong odors, or excessive wear will NOT be accepted. Keep in mind we are brand-selective here: Eileen Fisher, Bryn Walker, Johnny Was, David Cline, Wearables, Flax, Coach, JM McLaughlin, Boutique & Designer Labels.
“Mall Brands” such as American Eagle, White House Black Market, Ann Taylor, Chicos, Talbots, JJill, Chicos, JCrew, Abercrombie,Madewell- are very common, and therefore we are more selective with these labels, thank you for understanding! We do not accept items from Walmart,Target, Kohls, Jc Pennys and other discount stores.
-Items are accepted seasonally- With winter and fall being our shortest season. Jackets, leathers & furs, sweaters, thick knits and boots do best between October-January. With Summer and Spring being our longest season- lots of cotton, gauze, linen, silk and those breatheable natural fabrics!
-In addition to clothing we consign shoes, handbags, wallets, hats, belts, scarves, and jewelry (preference to sterling silver + gold filled/plated pieces).
-We price items roughly a 1/3 or less of the retail price, depending on condition and desirability of the style.
2. Walk in Hours- Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday 10-2 ONLY- Please come with no more than 25 pieces at a time, including clothing and accesories. If this is your first time consigning with us, a minimum of 5 items will need to accepted for an account to be started. Please do not bring items on off days.
3. Get your items ready. Clothing must be clean and brought in folded nicely in shopping bags (no large boxes or suitcases please! Items on hangers OK but not preferred).
4. Bring in your items. You are encouraged to shop around the store while we look through your items. Please do not bring more than 25 pieces. We are small business, and often see 70+ consignors a day. We cannot accomodate huge closet clean outs, storage tubs, suitcases etc We make our selection based on what we feel will sell best and our current invenotry levels. Once we’ve gone through your items, you will sign a consignment agreement with us, provide your information to gain access to our consignment portal where you can track sales of your items. Items are typically priced within 48 hours and an “inventory list” will be emailed to you, including decscriptions and prices of your items. The portal is always available to you to check your item(s) status and view your earnings.
Green Monkey sets the prices for all consigned items based on brand, retail value, customer demand, and condition. We do not negotiate prices and we recommend selling items on own if a certain price point is required.
The consignment period is 90 days.
After 60 days items will be reduced. At any time Green Monkey may reduce the price due to inventory levels, sales, or damage.
5. Get paid!
-Consignors recieve 40% of the selling price of items priced under $250. Items priced higher than $250 consignors recieve 60%.
-Checks are automatically cut at the end of the month as long as sales over $22 have acrued. Unless you request a store credit account, your check will be cut at the end of the month, and available for pick up the following month on the 15th. Checks are not mailed unless stamped enevelopes are provided.
-Balances of less that $22 are credit only balances, and not payable.
6. Take care of leftovers. If any of your items do not sell, they will be donated after the 90 day consignment period. You can reclaim your items by coming in on or before your pick up date. Consignors are responsible for finding their own items. If you prefer the staff to gather your items and have them ready for pick up and your convenience, that service can be provided for a $10 fee. Please call in advance to request this pick up service.
