If you are looking to drop off clothes here an excerpt from their FAQ.

How much do I receive for my consigment sales?

Consignors may receive 50% of our selling price in Store Credit or 35% by Check. For example, if an item sells for $10.00, you will receive $5.00 in Store Credit or $3.50 by Check. In either case, no payment is received until AFTER an item sells. The consignment payout does not include the consignment Item Fee.

How do you price consignment?

On average, our prices for clothing are about 65%-75% lower than the current retail price. are about 75% lower than the original retail. For example, if Baby Gap jeans retail for $24, we will price them around $6, assuming they are in average used condition. A Mini Boden toddler dress that is currently on sale for $50 will go for about $12.50 second-hand. We constantly check online for retail prices and use the lowest advertised price as our base.

All consignment is subject to an item fee at the time of sale. The item fee is added to the price and is paid by the buyer of the item and does not affect your consignment payout. This fee goes to help cover the costs involved in processing consignment. For items $1 – $10.00 = $1 Item Fee / $10.01 – $19.99 = $2 Item Fee / $20.00 – $39.99 = $5 Item Fee / $40.00 & up = $10.00 Item Fee.

*Please note: Merchandise may be reduced in price at the discretion of Chloe’s Closet. Chloe’s Closet may have discounted sale days, items may be reduced due to the discovery of stains or flaws, or items may be reduced in price after being on the sales floor for three weeks or more.
