- Drop off deadline: Tuesday, February 23rd
- $10, due at drop off, to sell your items; no matter how few or how many items you have.
- I will have a time sheet for volunteer hours to help work the sale.
- I would ask that you consider signing up for a couple of hours to help work the sale. It’s a 2 person job at checkout at most times, then there is the general organization and cleanup that needs to happen on the sales floor. It’s a great time to sell your wares! All volunteer time is much appreciated.
- If for some reason the sale does not happen your $10 and items will be available for pick up at a designated time to be announced.
- Pick up deadline: Pickup can be done any time you like during the sale Friday & Saturday, I will be in the space until 8pm Saturday evening. Sunday, February 28th hours for pickup will be 10am – 1pm (unless previous arrangements have been made with me, and I reserve the right to refuse requests to hold your yarn for pickup).
- Your sales will be tallied within 24 hours. You will receive an inventory sheet of all that sold.
- You have the choice to receive payment for your sold items in the form of cash, Paypal, or money order ($.49 charge to you) for your payment. We’ll arrange payment pickup as event comes to a close on Saturday evening.
- 5% of all sales will be taken to pay for my time & work. It may sound like a lot but it works out to only a dollar+ an hour payment for my time.
**PAYPAL & CREDIT CARD FEES WILL BE PASSED ON TO THE INDIVIDUAL SELLER AND TAKEN FROM YOUR TOTAL SALES
(Remember, by accepting credit cards & Paypal we are opening up more spontaneous sale opportunities.)
***IMPORTANT TO NOTE: the space is rented for the 2 days of the sale. Your items cannot stay in the space after Sunday night. If you cannot make it to pick up your unsold items, then you need to make arrangements with a friend that is selling or buying to pick up your items for you. Or, talk to me.
