Thank you! I appreciate all of the excitement and support thus far.
How it Works
-
Please review the criteria below to ensure your items meet the consignment standards.
-
Take photos of the items that you would like to consign and send them via email to jesse@closettcandyy.com. It's okay if you need to send multiple emails, but please keep the descriptions with the corresponding photos. If photos are too big to send over email, consider creating an iCloud Link, Google Drive Folder, or Google Photo Album to share with my email.
-
Within one-four weeks of receiving your email, I'll approve certain items for the shop and let you know a good time to bring them in for an in-person viewing. Once the items are fully approved, they're tagged and inventoried within two weeks. After that, you'll receive an email from me with your inventory spreadsheet and next steps for payouts. Please refrain from following up before the four weeks or asking questions that can be answered on this page or within your spreadsheet. Everything you need to know about Consignment can be found on this webpage.
-
All other payout information and important details about consigning with ClosettCandyy can be found below.
-
Please note: I do not send update about your items selling throughout the month, your spreadsheet is updated at the end of the month to highlight the items that sold in green. If you have no highlights, your items haven't sold.
**I'm currently taking a break from at-home viewings for the next few months, but am still booking small, in-store viewings. To set up a viewing, I first need to know what styles and brands of items you have, as well as a few photo examples to ensure it's worth our time. Please reach out to jesse@closettcandyy.com with the above information and I'll be in touch to set up a date and time. Max 10 items per in-person viewing. Thank you!
Consignment Criteria
The goal of ClosettCandyy Consignment is to offer my clients and customers the best quality, style and price (within reason) for second-hand clothing, shoes, and accessories while ensuring as much clothing as possible is diverted from landfills. Before reaching out, please inspect all items closely to make sure they are in sellable condition. Any items that are not able to sell due to condition must be picked up within one week, after which they will be donated to YGK Thrift.
-
Items must suit the current season we're in and meet the accepted brand list (see below).
-
Items must be “like new” and not have any major damage (free of big holes, stains, and visible wear and tear). Small holes that could be mended are sometimes okay.
-
Items must be freshly laundered, neatly folded or hung. Hangers are returned upon drop off.
-
Items must be free of cat/animal fur, purses cleaned out, shoes must be cleaned + free of scuffs.
-
Items must be approved via email exchange and an appointment arranged for drop-off or pickup unless we are scheduling an in-person viewing session. Either way, items cannot just be dropped off at the store to be looked at.
-
A limit of 20 items per session to keep the load manageable.

How to Consign with ClosettCandyy
Getting Started
To consign with ClosettCandyy, please reach out via email to jesse@closettcandyy.com with photos and a list of the items you would like to sell that match the criteria. Please include in the list: the price you paid, brand name, size, condition of the garment (approx how often it's been worn) and photograph items on a white or light background in a well-lit room. It's okay if you don't remember the price you paid either, I can do some research. See below for an example!

Item 1: Olive Green Utility Jacket
I Paid: $150
(if you don't know the price, that's okay! Send the brand, and I can look it up)
Brand: Cream
Size: Small
Condition: Like New. Worn 5 - 10 times
The Review Process
Within two-three weeks of receiving your email, I'll review the items you've sent along and get back to you with a list of my selections. Please do not follow up until the three weeks have passed, as this just adds to the pile of emails and doesn't get it answered any faster. I review everyone's email to see what styles and sizes have come in, and I select what works well together or what we're missing at the time.
Your items can be brought to the shop at 94 Brock Street, or can be picked up for a small fee depending on where you live. All appointments will be made via email. Please don't drop off your items until we've set a date and time—they will not be accepted if you drop off at your own convenience.
Payment Breakdown
Most items are priced at one half of the retail value or half of what the consignee paid ($60 = $30), unless the item hasn't been worn. In this case, the sale price would be 60-75% of the original or paid price. Below is the cut you would take based on the pricing given to your item. The breakdown is per item sold, not per total payout.
-
$0-99 = 40%
-
$100-$999 = 50%
-
$1000+ = 60%
E-transfers are sent alphabetically at the beginning of the month for the previous month. It takes about a week to get through everyone due to a $3,000 transfer limit per day, so you can expect your payment within the first week of the following month—if your items sold. For example, payouts for the month of January are sent the first week of February.
Please note: I don't answer emails about what items have sold, I don't send updates about your items selling, nor does our staff know what items have sold and when. All of this information is kept in your spreadsheet! To know if an item has sold, you will need to check your spreadsheet either at the end of the month, or about a week after the month has ended. Your spreadsheet is updated at the time of your payout—items that have sold are highlighted in green. If you can't view your spreadsheet, you will need to create a GMAIL account and request access to view it once you've made an account. Google can help you do this!
In the case of theft..
Unfortunately, people can be jerks and steal from small, local businesses. We keep a close watch on our store, have higher ends goods locked away, and are protected by an alarm + camera system, but ultimately we are not responsible for any stolen goods that are consigned with ClosettCandyy.
