Consignor Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the consignor's commission?

A: Our base consignor percentage is 60%. However by volunteering you can receive up to 65% or 70% depending on how much you volunteer (all volunteer shifts are limited). Each consignor will also have the opportunity to receive up to an extra 5% for referring shoppers. You will find out more about referring shoppers after you register. We also offer shopping credits for consignors who refer other consignors. For more information on volunteering please check out the volunteer page.

Q: On the volunteer page I see that you can get up to 70% commission for volunteering. How do you get up to 75%?

A: As a consignor you can receive extra commission by referring new shoppers. After you register as a consignor you will receive additional information about this.

Q: Do consignors get to shop early even if they don't volunteer?

A: Yes, All consignors will be able to shop at 5pm the night of the presale. Volunteering will give you the advantage of shopping as early as 2pm.

A: Yes, if you are an active consignor (already registered for the current sale) who refers a new consignor (who has never sold with Indy Kids Sale before) you will receive a $10 shopping credit to be used at the current sale. The new consignor must consign a minimum of 30 items. There is no limit to the number of consignors that you can refer.
