Drop and Go will earn 50% of their sales. Contact Us for more information.
- Do you accept all seasons?
Divine Consign wants to offer shoppers the merchandise they are looking for. We have
found that shoppers tend to buy items that are in season.
For example, in the fall people shop for winter coats and in the spring people shop
for shorts and summer dresses. There are many items that are transitional and
can be worn throughout the seasons. We also want to offer these pieces to our
shoppers.
Below is a guideline of what will NOT be accepted in each season.
Items that will NOT be accepted at our FALL sales:
Shorts (unless they are workout shorts)
Halter or strappy summer tops
Flip-flops
Items that will NOT be accepted in our SPRING sales:
Wool, Fleece or Corduroy pants
Turtlenecks
Thick, wool sweaters

- What items sell best?
Divine Consign shoppers LOVE the accessories! Something we can always fit in right ladies! Jewelry,
shoes and scarves are among some of the top sellers. Shoppers also love a great deal on a pair of designer
jeans or unique pieces that stand out. Our shoppers are always looking for that treasure they can talk about all year!
- How do I make my items stand out?
You can make your items stand out by creating recognizable tags so if a shopper
likes what they see they might seek out more. Often shoppers find a favorite consignor
they seek out. By making your tags a different color or displayed in a uniform
fashion this may help bring more attention to your items.
Although most of the clothes at our sale are pre-owned, they should not appear
to be used. Bring the life out in your clothes and make them stand out. Give your
garments great hanger appeal. Take the extra effort and the shoppers will notice.
- How do I price my items?
You set your own price. Use the original price and brand as your guide. Consider
what you would pay for such an item at our sale. Use $1 increments and price to sell.
Remember the better the price the more likely it will not come back into your closet.
If you are still unsure how to price your items, feel free to contact us
for additional suggestions.
- Where can I get hangers?
Divine Consign will host multiple open houses each season where you can purchase hangers for $0.10 each. See our e-mails for dates and times. Some stores such as Old Navy, will give away hangers daily. Hangers are also available anytime during a Divine Consign sale.
