As a consignor, you’ll need to choose a drop-off time on Monday or Tuesday of sale week to bring your items to Common Threads and place them directly on the sales floor in their correct locations. Don’t worry—everything will be clearly labeled for easy organization.
We’re streamlining the process by eliminating the check-in tables. A quality check will happen on Tuesday afternoon after all items are in place. During this check, we’ll remove any items that don’t meet the guidelines (e.g., stained, torn, or incorrectly tagged). If an item is pulled, the tag will be marked with the reason, and you can retrieve it Wednesday–Saturday in the designated area at the back of Court 3. This area will be organized by consignor number and staffed by Team Thread members who can assist you.
After placing your items, you’ll need to sign a contract, and you’re all set! We aim to make the process as quick as possible. Please plan to stay until all your items are on the floor and properly organized—this typically takes 30–60 minutes but may vary depending on how many items you bring.
After you register and you will begin entering your merchandise on the website,
you will see two options for your items:
Donate and the other 50% off discount option.
You can donate an item that does not sell by the end of the sale by choosing "Donate: Yes."
If an item is marked "donate: YES" and does not sell at the end of the sale, it will be donated to one of the Common Threads' local' charities. These donations go to helping our community!
The Giving Closet of Union County is one of our favorite local charities and has been taking our donations for the last several sales. Please consider supporting our community in this way! I love what The Giving Closet does, and they thoroughly appreciate the children's clothing. It's an excellent opportunity to give. We have also offered donations to The First Baptist Church of Lewisburg Clothing Sharing Program, DWELL orphan care of Williamsport, Manna Outreach and most recently Family Promise of Lycoming County, depending on how many items we have.
Saturday Is typically the last day of the sale. As a consignor, you have the opportunity
to choose which items are sold at half price. On Saturday, the 1/2 price sale day,
every item that is marked "discount: yes" will automatically be sold at half price.
Most of my consignors participate in this and I would highly recommend that
you discount your items too! This is a great way to raise the overall percentage of the items you sell. As a consignor myself, I not only want to make money but empty out my basement. So I highly recommend discounting your items. I also recommend this option just in case you may have overpriced
any of your items.
Come between 2 pm - 5 pm and Find your items
Go through a "check-out" line
Sign a release waiver, that's it
At the end of the sale on Saturday (noon), Team Thread begins by pulling all the donated items for our local charity.
If you are not donating all your items that didn't sell, you must stop by between 2 pm and 4 pm to find your items and cart them home. Unfortunately, I cannot hold on to things until later. There will be Team Thread helpers on hand to help you. Tip: print out your unsold list from our website and bring it with you so you know how many items you are looking for, or DONATE! :)
We will have "check-out" tables set up where you must stop. We will double-check that you have your tags only, and you will sign a release waiver.
If, for some reason, you can not make that, please let me know in advance.
If you decide not to pick up your items because you sold almost everything, please let me know with either a call or a text at (570-716-2367). We are happy to donate your leftover things. Many consignors find they sell so much that coming back to pick up a handful of items on Saturday is not worth their time, and they choose to donate at the last minute. This is fine, but it must be communicated to me before 5 pm.
When do I get paid?Through our software program on our site, you can log in to the consignor page and see which of your items sold each night after the sale is over with the dollar amount due to you. At this point, consignors are paid via check. However, this may change to either PayPal or eCheck soon. This would allow us to pay you more quickly. We will use the email address in your account. Typically, we ask for two weeks before you find your check in your mailbox. Please double-check your address on our website when you log in.
To make things easier while continuing to support our community, we’ve introduced a
Stuff-a-Bag Sale!
Here’s how it works: you’ll have the chance to fill a bag with amazing items at a deeply discounted price. The proceeds from the sale will go directly to our beloved local charities. After the event, any leftover items will still be donated to these charities, making sure nothing goes to waste.
This way, we can:
Help our community in a fun and unique way.
Provide an affordable shopping opportunity for everyone.
Lighten the load for our charity partners by reducing the amount they need to transport.
Thank you for being part of this exciting new effort to give back.
Together, we’re making a difference!
