FAQ
1. What is Online Consignment?
Online Consignment is the process of you, (the consigner), allowing us, (the consignee), to sell your unwanted items
online for you. When the item is sold, you get 65% of the final selling price.
2. What kind of items can I consign?
Lady G's Closet strives to provide resale services to as many clients as possible. However, we accept items with a
market value that would make the transaction as profitable for both of us. This determination will be made on an individual basis.
The types of items that we will readily accept include new to gently used:
Designer handbags, designer clothes, designer shoes, jewelry, watches, vintage clothing, baby clothes (sold grouped
as a lot), baby gear, unused high end cosmetics, designer eye ware, computer equipment and software, appliances,
antique dolls, antique cameras, collectibles, wedding apparel, house ware, electronics, sports collectibles, vintage
records, and much more.
Contact us to ask about your specific item.

7. How do I get started?
Contact us either by phone, email, or on the contact information form under the "Contact Us" link. You will be contacted within 48 hours. A description of the item and, (if possible), photos of the items will be requested. If there are multiple items or you would rather an in-person consultation, a meeting can be arranged. At the consultation, the items can be assessed, and a contract signed. The items will then be taken into the possession of Lady G's Closet. And that's it. Just sit back and wait for a check in the mail...

consultation for you. Just let us know when you contact us.
We are also available for Closet Cleaning Parties. If you and a group of friends would like to meet at one central location for a consultation, we are definitely available for these events.
