Consigning at Cottontails:
How it Works
Cottontails will look at your items and take what will be popular with our customers. (See next section for how to arrange an appnt. We are not able to accommodate walk-ins)
​
You receive 40% - 50% of the final selling price after items sell (40% for items priced under $50; 50% for anything over $50), excluding taxes & buyer's fee. There is no money paid up front. Cottontails sets the price and takes into consideration the original/current price, age, condition, and supply & demand.
You can use your store credit to shop any time, or request a check at the end of the consignment period. Accounts that accrue under $15 in 60 days will be store credit only. Balance owed becomes store-credit only after one year of inactivity (no purchases or consignments); after 2 years of inactivity, accounts are deemed inactive and credits forfeited.
​
Unsold items are donated to local charities at the end of the season (see our 'Links' page for some of the charities we support).

Scheduling a drop off
For clothing: Appointments are scheduled on our website (click Book Online from our menu). We open up about 2 weeks worth of appts. at a time, they book quickly. If no dates show as available, you can checking now & then for a cancellation, or refer to the Consignment Status on our home page for updates on the next opening.
​
-
1x per month per consignor, per family (DO NOT open accounts under other names in order to get more items in.) ​
-
Appts. are for 20-30 pieces of seasonal clothing, and 5-10 small toys/misc items that fit in our bin along with your clothes. ​
- For current consignors, we will look at the items later and donate/dispose of anything we can't put out for sale.
-
For first time consignors, you have the option to receive a call-back to pick up unaccepted items. You must notate this on your contract. We may be able to go through the items on the spot together, depending on staffing.
-
If you have under 20 pieces, wait until you have more items.
-
If you also have big items like gear or toys, we will do our best to take them same day, but you must reach out to us a few days before your appt. to arrange this.
​​​
Drop offs of toys or baby gear only
Contact us to let us know what you have and arrange a drop off. Depending on our needs, we can usually fit you in within a couple days.
If you have a clothing appnt scheduled, we will do our best to accommodate your gear/toy items all at once but you must make arrangements with us in advance.

Brand new with tag/New in box items
These are the only items that can be brought in without an appointment. They must still be in-season and purchased new in the past few years.
