Payment Schedule
Payouts happen on the 15th of every other month — and they’re by request. Checks aren’t cut automatically: stop in, call, or email by the 10th to let us know you’d like one, and it will be ready for you on or after the 15th.
January 15th
March 15th

Your balance waits for you — plenty of consignors only collect once or twice a year.
Payment Options
Take your earnings however suits you — and you can do both:
- ♥ Check — pick it up in store with ID, or we’ll mail it
- ♥ Store credit — with a 10% bonus added; use it any time you shop
- ♥ Or both — take a check this time and shop with credit next time. You decide each visit; no need to choose up front
Why checks instead of cash: a check gives us both a paper trail — proof it was paid and proof it was cashed, if either of us ever needs to look back. Cash leaves no record and means an extra bank run every payout day. So it’s checks or store credit, never cash.
Important Details
- Minimum payout: $20 — under $20 carries forward
- Unclaimed checks: convert to store credit after 1 year
- Store credit: in-store only, not transferable, can’t be cashed out; expires after 2 years with no purchases and no consigning
- 90 days: starts the day an item is accepted and tagged, not drop-off day
- No early returns: once it is tagged, it cannot come back
- After 90 days: unsold items become shop property
- Markdowns: we may reduce the price after about 30 days
- Care: we take great care, and are not responsible for loss, damage, or theft
