If you're interested in consigning with us our new consignment protocol will be slightly different than the way we used to do it before our closure. We will have signs instructing consignors to bring all soft goods in a trash bag or some other disposable container and dropping it off outside of the back door. If you have hard goods, such as bikes or kayaks, we will be wiping those down with disinfectant, pricing them, and getting them out on the floor per normal operating procedures. With the soft goods, we will be filling out a brief consignor form that includes information such as your consignor information and whether or not you'd like for us to keep or donate items we aren't able to consign.
