FAQ
How much do I get?
If you consign your items you will receive 50% of the selling price. All items will be marked down 50% after 30 days and may be included in other sales.
How long is the consignment period?
Items are consigned for 60 days. We will hold items for up to 3 days after they expire to allow you time to pick up your unsold items if you wish.
What if my item doesn't sell?
If you choose to consign your items, we will give you the date they will be consigned until, the markdown date, and the date they expire. If you don’t pick up expired items within 3 days they become property of Kids Pointe. It is the consignors responsibility to find all unsold items. There are no exceptions. Please note that due to the number of consignors we have we are unable to give reminder calls about expiring items.
Is Consignment or Buy Out the better choice?
That all depends on what you are looking for. If you want to get more money out of your items then Consignment is the better way to go. If you want the money as quickly as possible and just want to get rid of the items then Buy Out is your best choice. Either way you may choose either option any time you bring in your items.
Is there anything you don't consign?
There are some items that we don’t take at all and there are items that we are only able to accept on Buy Out. Our Buy Out only items include: Onesies, Sleepers, and most Store Brand clothing items. The “Store Brands” such as Circo, Faded Glory, Garanimals, Cherokee and others sell for less new and so we price them for significantly less. For this reason we only accept those items on buy out and tend to be more selective on what we take.
Can you tell me how much I will get for my items?
We have to be able to see items before we can quote you any price. We have to look over all items for brand, age, condition, recalls and many other factors. We can give you a buy out amount on items if you would like. On consignment you may receive more for your items, however if they don’t sell then you don’t get any money for the item.
How do you decide the price and can I change it?
Kids Pointe sets the prices of items to keep our prices consistent. We look at many different factors before setting the price we sell items for. Brand, condition, age, popularity of the item, how well it sells for us, are just a few of the things we consider. In general for Equipment we sell items around 50% of what they are new, clothes are closer to 20-30% of what they are new. This can give you a good idea of how much to expect if you want consignment (you get 50% of the price we sell it for) or buy outright (you get up to 40% of the price we sell it for it).
How long do I have to pick up the money on my account?
Money on your account is active for one year. Money you earn is available to you at any time and may be applied towards purchases or paid out as cash/check. Cash payout is based on amount and availability, any amount over $40 will always be paid by check. If your account is inactive for more than 6 months, meaning you don’t have items on consignment and you haven’t used any of the money as store credit, then the available amount will become store credit only.
