Consignment Policies

Cleaning out your closet? Good After New would love to sell your gently used clothing, shoes and accessories. Consignors get 40% of the net earnings from each item sold. Read on to learn how to start earning money!

1.  Gather up all the gently used clothing, shoes and accessories that you’re ready to part with. Garments should be in excellent condition – freshly laundered. Lightly worn. Almost perfect. (Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to resell items that are damaged, stained or showing signs of heavy wear). We look for the best of all seasons, all year long. When in doubt, put it in the bag! 
2. Use the link below to fill out the New Client Agreement and confirm your consignment option and payout preferences. Click our convenient Scheduling feature to select a time to drop off your items. (Available at the bottom of this page)
3. Drop off the goods. Typically, a porch drop-off is preferred which makes the appointment quick and easy for both of us. 
4. We’ll sort through and choose what will likely sell in the Good After New online store. Items will be sorted into three categories: Yes, Maybe and No. **If you would like any rejected items returned to you, you MUST make that request before dropping off**
5. Within 5 days you’ll receive an email link to your Client Inventory Sheet with a full list of the items we accepted. This is where you can track the status of each item, what has sold and how much $$ you’ve made. Client Inventory Sheets are updated monthly. 
6. You can request your balance to be paid out on the first of the following month. Just email us that you’re ready to get $ paid $. We’ll update your Client Inventory Sheet, cash you out and send you a Venmo or Paypal with your earned money.

             That’s all you need to do! We’ll take care of the rest. Keep reading for the fine print and FAQs.

YES: These items will be added to our listing queue. This is where items wait to be steamed, photographed, inventoried and listed in the Good After New store. The order in which items are listed is based on season, trends, value and current inventory. We cannot offer guarantees on a timeline for every item. 

MAYBE: These are items that could possibly work. We’ll keep them on hand for a period of time with the option to process and sell. 

NO: Unfortunately, these items will not work for the Good After New store. It’s sad, I know! We have to be very selective with what we accept because of the time and resource investment required to sell an item. These items will be donated on your behalf. 

*If you would like any rejected items returned to you, you MUST make that request before dropping off.

Store pricing will be set based on the style, brand, age and condition of the consigned items. The online secondhand market is very competitive and shoppers are looking for a good deal. Our commitment is to try and get the most money possible for your garments. We reserve the right to discount prices as necessary to make a sale. Keep in mind; if it doesn’t sell, nobody gets paid.

The average item in our store takes 45-60 days to sell. Specialty or off-season items may take even longer. Inventory that is accepted by Good After New is guaranteed a 60-day consignment period, starting on day that they are listed in a marketplace. Consignment period does not begin at drop-off, but only when an item has been processed and is available for sale. 

After 60 days your item will either remain for sale online or be donated to charity. This decision will be made by Good After New at our discretion based on season, item value and inventory capacity. Sales and promotions are used at our discretion in order to keep inventory fresh and moving.

Most items on the secondhand market sell for 40-60% of their original retail price. Your payout will be 40% of the net earnings from each item sale.

Earnings are SALE PRICE minus PLATFORM FEES minus SHIPPING COSTS

• Platform fees: Every marketplace charges fees ranging from 10-20% of the final selling price. 
• Shipping costs: Typically built in to the listing price, but sometimes are paid by the seller. 

For example, a pair of Lululemon leggings sells on Ebay:

Sale price:  $37

15% Ebay fee:  -$5.50

Shipping cost: -$5.98

Net earnings: $25.52

40% Consignee payout: $10.20

1.  Consignment

Bring in your items and we’ll try to sell them. When sold you receive 40% of the net sale price. Items are guaranteed at least 60 days in the store. 

2. Donate & Give Back

Donate your stuff to our business. All you need to do is drop off your items and Good After New will make a one time donation of $20 to a charity of your choice.

Option 3. Fast Cash

Bring us your clothes and we will “shop them” and make you an offer to purchase items outright. We offer thrift store pricing, so think $4 for jeans, dresses and shoes, $5 for outerwear, $2 for tops and blouses. This option will not be your highest return but you will get immediate cash money! 

Refer friends to Good After New and receive a $5 payout bonus. Once referrals have completed their first consignment and sold at least $20, you will receive a $5 credit in your account. 

While all reasonable efforts will be made to keep consigned items clean and safe from damage, Consignor understands that G.A.N. takes no responsibility for lost, stolen, damaged or missing merchandise. Consignor assumes all risks of the consignment, and agrees to not hold GAN liable in any way for loss associated with this consignment. Any item found to have a defect that was not discovered at time of drop off may be reduced in price or removed from the store and donated. Rejected items must be picked up within 7 days or they will become property of GAN. Unless otherwise specified, items left in the shop 7 days after the 60 day consignment period ends will be donated to a charitable organization or liquidated at the discretion of GAN.
