Donations, Consignment, & Trade
PHOTO BY MARY FEHR
What items do we accept for donation, consignment, or trade?
We’re looking for vintage and modern, fun and functional stuff for your home and wardrobe—more than just clothing! Think accessories, furniture, home goods, art and art supplies, pet stuff, toys, lamps, costumes, records, books—a little bit of everything! We also love quirky and weird stuff!
Basically, before you throw something away, we want you to think about the product’s life cycle and consider if it can be resold instead of just going in a landfill or donated to a thrift store. Children’s items, local art, furniture, and home goods accepted on consignment only.
When bringing in items for consideration, please make sure they are clean, seasonally appropriate, and in good condition (no holes, stains, or pet hair; not too worn, etc.). Maximum two small reusable bags, one box, or one plastic tub per appointment per customer. Our main mission is sustainability, so we encourage you to use reusable bags instead of plastic.
How does it work, and when can I bring my stuff by?
For donations, consignment, or trade, everything is on an appointment basis. Please keep in mind this is currently a one-woman shop. We have switched to accepting same-week appointments on a lottery basis, so check our social media (Instagram & Facebook) and be sure to comment on the posts for a chance to get in that week! Donations will be prioritized.
A valid government-issued photo ID is required. We recognize for our non-binary and trans friends that your ID may not yet reflect your name, so we want you to know that we understand the name-change process can be lengthy and we will call you by the name you give us! (Click here for the Magic City Legal name change clinic info).
We ask that you please stick around while we sort through your items so we may return anything to you that we can’t take. We price merchandise based on market trends, so please let us know if you have a specific price in mind for select items so we can let you know if that is something we think it can sell for in our shop. If you need to cancel your appointment, please email or DM us with at least 24 hours’ notice.
For furniture and local art, please email us pictures and a description of the item before making an appointment to bring it by so we can assess if it is something we’d like to sell and also if there’s room at the shop for it. Our email is info@revolver-resale.com.
Has my stuff sold?
All consignors will have access to their consignor accounts electronically to be able to see when your items sell. You can set up direct deposit and receive your payment electronically (minimum payout $10), or you can come to the shop and receive payment via check. Checks must be cashed within 90 days or they become void. You must present a government-issued photo ID before payment will be made.
You can email us at info@revolver-resale.com with questions about your account. Click here to access your consignor account. Click here for the SimpleACH user guide to walk you through how to set up your consignor access and direct deposit.
What is the in-store trade credit?
With trade, you get 30% of our market value to be used as in-store credit. Trade transaction credit is available as soon as your items are sorted and priced. You can use your trade balance for six months (non-transferable and expires after six months). Store credit may not be used to buy local art or furniture.
What is the percentage for consignment?
For items priced under $50, the consignor receives 30% of the sale price. For items over $50, the consignor receives 40%. For handmade goods and local art, the consignor receives 60%.
Can I just donate things to your shop?
Yes! We are now accepting donations on an appointment basis, and donations are prioritized. We do not have the staff or space to openly accept donations and drop-offs, so please watch our social media and comment on our posts when we share that we have appointments available that week. We do still ask that you follow our guidelines mentioned above (see first section).
We are generally taking donations of your used paper shopping bags of all sizes as well!
What is your sales policy?
All sales are final—no refunds. After 90 days, merchandise will be reevaluated and either repriced, marked on sale, or donated to charity. Please check in with an employee if you wish to retrieve consigned goods. We are not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged merchandise. Consignors have a seven-day grace period after the three-month consignment period to retrieve your items before they become store inventory. Please email us if you want us to pull your items from the floor for you to retrieve and allow us three business days. Trade and consignment balances expire after six months.
Local art
Priority will be given to LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC artists, so please let us know if that is how you identify! We highly encourage all artists to use recycled/upcycled or sustainable materials whenever possible since our main mission is for environmental sustainability. Art and handmade goods will receive 60% of the sale price.
