Select in season clothes. Make sure everything is freshly cleaned. The better it looks, the more you’ll make.
Select clothes that are in style (purchased within the last three years). Better quality, designer or popular labels sell best. Sizes 0- 24. Check the Preferred Labels page for examples of the labels we prefer.
Please check for:
* Working zippers and fasteners
* No missing buttons
* No holes, tears, matting, fading, stains and odors
* No obvious signs of wear on collars, cuffs, hemlines
* Clean with no wrinkles
* Preferably no missing tags
* Current season and current style
* Better quality, designer or high-end labels
To be accepted, clothes must meet all of the above criteria. We consider what our customers want to buy when evaluating the items you bring in.
If it is your first time to consign with us you can print out and fill out the consignment agreement to save yourself time at the store.
Bring clothing in on hangers or neatly folded. We prefer clothing on plastic hangers. This protects your items in handling, makes inspection and processing at the store easier and as a result faster for you.
We will look over the items while you look around the store and let you know as quickly as possible which items we feel we can sell for you. Please understand that our customers’ preferences must guide our selections.
Sydney’s sets the price based on quality, brand, supply and demand. If you have a specific price or a minimum price in mind for an item, please tell us when you leave the item with us. If we feel we cannot meet your expectations we will not accept your item.
You are done at that point. We will price, tag, security tab, display, market and process all sales for you. You will receive 50% of the selling price when the item sells.
We will display your items for 45 days. As your items sell, we will notify you by email to update you on your account balance so you will never have to wonder how much credit you have in the store.
You may collect your balance by check at your convenience with a limit of one payment per week. Alternatively you may apply your credit to any purchases whenever you like.
At the end of the consignment period we will notify you by email to remind you that any unsold items are ready for pick-up. At that point we will have your items gathered and ready for pick-up. Items not picked up within 7 days of notification will be considered abandoned and will become the property of Sydney’s Consignment Boutique.

Why to Consign
WHY CONSIGN AT SYDNEY’S?
First you may want to think about what consigning does for you:
Consigning saves you time.
You could attempt to sell your unwanted items
yourself but that takes time and the options to do so are pretty
limited. When you consign with us, you bring your clean items in and we
do the rest for you. Pricing, displaying and hopefully selling your
treasures is no longer your concern. We’ll handle all that and free you
up to do more important things with your time.
Consigning saves money.
By clearing out quality unwanted items you can
turn them into a whole new wardrobe. When you use your proceeds to shop
at Sydney’s you get even more for your money. So consign with Sydney’s
and shop at Sydney’s to make money and save money.
Consigning saves space.
We all have things we no longer use taking up
precious closet space. Sometimes those treasures are just too nice to
donate or practically give away at a yard sale. Consigning is a
reasonable way to help those items find a new home while freeing up some
much needed space…that you can fill back up again!
Consigning is environmentally friendly.
With all the emphasis on going green these day,
consigning is another way to do your part. Every item you allow to be
recycled and continue to have a useful life is one less garment that
needs to be manufactured.
As for why to choose Sydney’s for your consignment there are several great reasons:
Great location.
The chances of selling your items is greater the
more it is seen. Having a storefront in the downtown area multiplies
the chances that your item will be seen by shoppers of all ages. In turn
the chance of actually selling your items multiplies as well.
Convenience.
Our location is convenient to you as well. Our
email notification feature is designed to save you time and effort when
it comes to knowing the status of your account.
Great attitude.
We recognize that you are every bit as important
as our shoppers and will treat you that way. You are important to us
not an inconvenience so we will do all we can to make your experience at
Sydney’s as great as it can be.
Great reputation.
Having been in business in Auburn for 2 years
now we have an excellent reputation in the community. We are a small
family owned business. We are committed to the community and to running
an honest and friendly place to do business.
