iCT DeSTaSH SaLe – CANCELED

UPDATE: ICT DESTASH SALE IS CANCELED

AT THIS TIME THERE ARE NO CURRENT PLANS TO RESCHEDULE THE SALE

DUE TO COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS I WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING DROP-OFF OF ITEMS FOR DESTASH UNTIL AFTER APRIL 1ST

This is subject to change with the ongoing regulations by the CDC.
I will decide after April 1st if tHe sale will go ahead or be cancelled.
I would like to say it will be rescheduled, but with the uncertainty of our move and the virus progression I have to take it a week at a time.

Thank you for understanding!!

I will be running the drop-offs a little differently for this sale. There will be a 2 week window for dropping off at the Studio, 751 George Washington Blvd, with specific dates/times:

Start Drop-off Date: March 26th, Thursday, 11am – 5pm Dates/Times: March 28th, Saturday, call to set time March 30th, Monday, 2 – 8pm April 2nd, Thursday, 11am – 5:30pm End Drop-off Date: April 4th, Saturday, 10am – 1pm

As per usual, you need to contact me ahead of time to arrange drop-off; call/text 316-351-8515, email firebrunetteknits@gmail.com.

Some of these times coincide with classes at the studio, I will do my best to not take away time from my class to accept Destash drop-offs.

How to Prep Your Items For the iCT DeSTaSH Sale

banner 2018 There are a few options for you on preparing your items for sale, here is a list of some suggestions, and the NECESSARY PREPARATION in red:

  • Mark items with your name or initials ie Chauntel Ensey or CE or FirebrunetteKnits or FBKnits
  • Mark items with the price you set yourself I do not have any say or control over the price you charge for your items
  • Sellers may choose to either leave single skeins loose and marked with a hanging tag, or put in a clear zip top bag marked clearly with seller name, and price
  • Multiple item sets: please put all together in a clear zip top bag marked clearly with seller name, number of items in the bag, and the price
  • I do recommend that if you have multiples of one colorway that you sell as a lot, not individually
  • Pricing: You set the price on your items I generally recommend 50-75% of retail value. Rare and hard to find yarns or yarns you just aren’t totally set on giving up, can sell in the 80-90% of retail range.
  • Be realistic in your pricing, try to look at the yarn and price as a shopper would.

Inventory of Items

  • I inventory all items you bring to me.
  • Before the sale, you will receive an email of a spreadsheet of your items listed at their set price. Please check it over and make sure I have everything correct.
  •  When you come to pick up your items Saturday evening, I will go through and inventory what items remain. You may then choose to donate to charity or take your items home with you, all prepared for the next DeSTaSH.
  • You will receive an email with the figures of your sales and your item inventory within 48 hours.
  • You will then receive your payment as agreed; cash, check, Paypal

DISPLAYING ITEMS

If you have some nice baskets or bins you would like your items to be displayed in, please bring the items in them. I will make sure they are all marked with NFS (Not For Sale) tags. Remember the more your items stand out, the more they will get shopped! Of course, I will do my best to display everyone’s items in a way that they will be easy and fabulous to shop! Don’t you worry about that! LOCATION:
