Cleaning Tip of the Day
Powered by Cleaning.LifeTips.com
You have better things to do with your time than organize a yard sale, price your items, pay for the ad, put up signs, then wait for hours, only to have most of the stuff you started out with that has to be packed up and put away for next time. Whew!
Until now consignment has been the only other option, but how long must you wait until you even see a dime? How quickly can you get an appointment? What will make your items stand out and get sold? What other fees are involved? What will they be priced at? How often will they be marked down? What if you don't have time to pick up items that don't sell before your consignment contract is up? What if your items get lost?
We are not your typical consignment store! We give you a fair offer based on current supply & demand and you get your money (or twice the amount in store credit - your choice) either immediately, the day of your appointment (for less than 25 items) or within a day or two (in most cases) for bulk drop-offs. And we do save you time and offer you convenience. What price can you put on that?We tend to accept more items than you can sell in a month of yard sales and for unsaleable items, we'll even donate (in your name) to a local charity and give you a receipt for tax time. What could be easier?
For higher priced items that stand out, consignment (in the store or on eBay) is always an option. And we have no added fees!We specialize in kids clothing, developmental toys, and related-equipment for kids newborn to size 8. Following are examples of what we normally accept:
This list in not all inclusive, but should give you a good starting point. Due to standards, customer preference, or space limitations, examples of items we don't accept are:
We're currently over-stocked on clothing, especially in sizes newborn through size 12mo. We are taking appointments, but keep in mind our
offers are based soley on supply and demand. Therefore our offer on clothing won't be as high as it would if we were in short supply.
For specific items in need, please see our newsletter.
However, here are some things that we always seem to be in need of at Enkore Kids (and, hence, we can offer more for these items).
Of course, your offer will be improved by your items being in saleable condition and complete
(including working batteries, if needed):.
We pay cash or store credit for your gently used clothing, toys, and equipment for children, infant through size 8. And we will donate what we can not accept in your name, giving you a receipt for tax time (if requested)!
Due to the wonderful response, we are unable to process any offers without an appointment. This is to be fair to customers and suppliers alike. Please call 301-668-0837 to set one up. We book appointments only up to one month out so if we're booked up at the time of your call, please call back the first day of the next month. Also, we do have a limit of about 100 items (or what will fit in about two 18-gallon storage bins) for clothing due to limited processing space. Clothing and smaller toys need to be brought in stackable containers such as rubber maid or study cardboard boxes. Plastic or paper bags cannot be accepted. Please call the store or visit the web site for updates.
Follow these simple guidelines to help you get the most for your items. Quality and safety are our primary concerns. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the owner, Jennifer, directly
Get cash upfront or more in store credit! Unlike consignment, we buy most items directly from you so you get paid upfront,
not over the course of the next several months to a year. Take cash or up to twice the amount as store credit, or half of both.
It's up to you!
Store credit is good for everything in the store, including our new items. It doesn't expire and we keep track of it for you
on our computer (which is backed up daily).
When you come in for your appointment, if you have less than 25 items we'll give you an offer on the spot. If you have more than 25 items,
we'll give you a receipt and let you know when we'll call you with your offer (generally in a day or two).
How We Figure our Cash/Store Credit Offers:
Consign Your Equipment & Other Special Items
Consignment is reserved for only higher end items that will resell for over $40. This allows us to promote them in the store and through e-mail to those looking for something special, helping to sell your item more quickly than in a typical consignment store where everything is on consignment and you're item has little chance of getting an extra promotion.
We reach a price with the consignor and don't mark them down without your consent, including for advertised sales unless you’d like to participate.Our agreement is for 30 days, if it doesn’t sell by then or if we get an offer at a lower, though reasonable, price, we’ll ask if you’d like to lower the price to help it sell. After the expiration of the consignment period, if it hasn’t sold and we haven’t mutually agreed to lower the price and extend the consignment contract, you have two days to pick up your item or it becomes ours to donate or sell. Over 90% of our "on-consignment" items sell within the first 30 days.
We consign on a 50-50 split, with no added "buyer's fees". You get your money either on demand or we'll send you a
check upon request (less $1.00 processing fee).
Have something that may sell for more or at least sell faster if available to the wider public?
Our Frequent Buyer/Seller Club, as the name suggests, benefits our suppliers as well as our buyers!
How it works: For every twenty five dollars you spend you earn a stamp. After twenty six stamps, you get an additional $50 in store credit. Store credit received will count towards stamps when spent.Register your Club Card with us and don't worry about losing it. We'll keep track for you!
