Consigning

Do I need an appointment to drop off items?

No appointment is necessary! Simply bring your items in during our business hours — Tuesday through Friday from 11am to 6pm, and Saturday from 12pm to 4pm. We're closed Sunday and Monday.

How many items can I bring in at once?

Up to 2 white 13-gallon bags per consignor account, per calendar month, with your name written on each bag. If you don’t have white bags, ask — we’ll send you home with a couple.

What types of clothing do you accept?

We take women’s, men’s, and maternity, plus handbags, shoes, belts, and jewelry in excellent condition. We also take household décor and small furniture. We do not take kids’ or baby clothing, or wedding dresses. Prom and homecoming are welcome if they are about the last 2 years old and dry cleaned. See Brands and Standards.

What happens if my items don't meet your standards?

First visit: we sort the bag with you and declined pieces go home with you. After that, you choose donate or call when we open your account. If you chose call, you have 7 days from our call to pick items up. It’s a one-person shop, so we don’t send out accepted-or-declined lists — but ask any time you’re in and we’ll tell you.

Do you accept men's clothing?

Yes! We accept both women's and men's clothing. Items must be gently used, name-brand, clean, and in excellent condition.

Can I consign shoes, handbags, and accessories?

Yes — we love them! Shoes, handbags, and accessories from quality brands are always welcome. The only catch is condition: shoes need to be clean inside and out with no visible foot markings or wear on the soles, and handbags should be clean inside and out. If they're in great shape, bring them in!

How long does the consignment period last?

The 90 days start the day we accept and tag the item — not the day you drop it off. After 90 days, unsold items become shop property.

Can I get my items back once I've dropped them off?

Not once an item is accepted and tagged — so take one last look through the bag before you hand it over.

I forgot my account number.

No problem — we’ll look it up. Just make sure your name is on the bag.

Payment & Commission

How much do I earn from my consigned items?

You earn 40% of the pre-tax selling price of every item that sells. The shop keeps 60%, which covers pricing, tagging, floor space, and the marketing that gets your pieces in front of buyers.

When do I get paid?

Payouts happen on the 15th of January, March, May, July, September, and November, and they’re by request. Let us know by the 10th of a payout month that you’d like a check and it will be ready on the 15th. Store credit you can use any time you shop. Your balance waits for you — there’s no rush to collect.

Is there a minimum payout amount?

Yes, the minimum payout is $20. Smaller balances simply carry forward.

How do I receive my payment?

Check (pick up in store with ID, or we’ll mail it), store credit with a 10% bonus, or both — you decide each time, no need to choose up front. We don’t pay cash: a check gives us both a paper trail, and cash leaves no record.

How do I check my balance?

Ask in store, call, or email with your name or account number and we’ll look it up.

Who sets the prices for my items?

We do — based on brand, condition, and what actually sells in Douglas. We aim to price items fairly to sell quickly while maximizing your earnings.

Will my items be discounted over time?

Items may be discounted as the consignment period progresses to encourage sales. This is standard practice in consignment retail and helps ensure your items sell before the 90-day period ends.

Shopping

What can I expect to find at Used To Be Yours?

Our inventory changes constantly as new items come in every week. You'll find a carefully curated selection of gently used women's and men's clothing from quality brands — all at a fraction of retail prices.

Do you have a return policy?

All sales are final. We encourage you to inspect items carefully before purchasing. Our team is happy to answer any questions about an item before you buy.

Do you offer layaway or holds?

We do not currently offer layaway or holds on items. All items are sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
