Volunteer Questions
Do I have to volunteer in order to consign?
No. You will still earn your consignor preview sale privileges but earn the minimum of 60% on your sold items. Volunteering a minimum of 2 hours bumps your percentage to 65%. Volunteering for 4 hours bumps your percentage to 70%.
What will I receive in exchange for volunteering my time?
Volunteers who work 4-hours (or two 2-hour shifts) will earn 70% and will be the VERY FIRST to shop. Volunteers who work 2-hours will earn 65% and shop before the First-Time Moms and Daycares.
May I volunteer time before the sale?
Yes. We are always looking for help publicizing the consignment sale, setting up racks, unloading equipment, passing out fliers and much more. If you would like to do something prior to the sale, let us know and we will give you credit for it. There are a limited number of opportunities available. Click here for details.
May I work two 2 smaller shifts instead?
We prefer that you work one solid shift. We will try and make accommodations wherever we can. Please let us know if you would prefer to work 2-two hour shifts instead and we will work with your schedule.
May I bring my children with me during my shift?
No. It will be too difficult for you to work and watch the little ones at the same time. If you have an extenuating circumstance, please let us know. Volunteers who are nursing small infants may bring their baby (because of obvious safety concerns, select a shift that we are closed to the public). NO CHILDREN ALLOWED IF YOU ARE VOLUNTEERING AT ANY TIME DURING THE PUBLIC SALE.
What days/times are available to volunteer?
Volunteer shifts begin the Sunday before the sale and continue through the final Sunday of the sale. You may check out all the volunteer shifts on the Volunteer Schedule.
Do I have to be a consignor to volunteer?
No. You do not have to be a consignor to volunteer at the sale. We welcome the help and will reward you with a preview shopping pass (Click Here for shopping times).
What if I want to change my shift?
You are allowed to change or cancel your shift up to 7 days before the sale begins. To change or delete your shift, Click here
What will happen if I do not complete my scheduled shift OR cancel my shift 7 days or less before the sale begins?
If you volunteer, we are counting on you to follow through. In the event a volunteer does not fulfill their obligation, or find a comparable replacement, the volunteer will not be allowed to participate as a volunteer again or participate in any future preview sale. Please understand that these guidelines have been put in to place to maintain a high quality sale.
