Yes, the Consignor ID you received when you registered is yours to use in each sale! The only time you would need to register for a new consignor ID is if you 1) have exceeded the item entry limit for your current ID and would like to sell more items, or 2) would like to participate with another Rhea Lana's franchise.
We require plastic hangers for all items. We care about your items and plastic hangers ensure your items are protected and look great on the rack. Retail plastic hangers are acceptable!

YES: Each Consignor can bring 300 items to the event. As always, we encourage you to bring your best items so that you sell a high percentage of your things. A Consignor who brings 75 great items will do better than a Consignor who brings 100 items that are poor quality or marked too high.

Option 2 - Let us mail your barcodes to you. We will print your barcodes for free and you only pay $4 for shipping for all Consignor Numbers requested at the same time. Find the sign-up in Consignor Links.

The RL guarantee states that if we lose anything of yours during the event we will pay you for it, just like it sold. This does happen some, but very little. If you want the guarantee, you MUST bring your items IN ORDER that you entered, and also bring a copy of your inventory sheet. This way we will know that all your items made it to the store! This will mean you will need an In-Store check in appointment, so we can check all your items. We will not be printing inventory sheets at the store.

The minimum price is $4. Anything you sell will need to be valued at $4. If you need to bundle smaller items to sell you can prepare them and sell them together. If you bundle clothing, they do not need to be the same brand, but they need to be the same size.

We suggest you set the price at 25% - 30% of the retail value. Baby Equipment, Furniture and Large Indoor/Outdoor Toys usually sell for more and are in high demand. We have an abundance of 0-6 month sizes, so they must be priced competitively in order to sell. Maternity and Junior clothing is not shopped as heavily, so price these items competitively, also.
Place them in a ziploc bag and attach the string tag to the inside of the bag using a small piece of tape along the top of the tag. Seal the bag with packing tape. Write your consignor number and price on the bag. It is also a good idea to include '1 of 2' and '2 of 2' for items with multiple pieces. See the videos under our Merchandise Prep page for examples!
If it meets our "excellence quality" standards, group it together with one or two more like items. Pin them together on a hanger, or group them in a ziploc bag and put one price for the entire group.
