Selling is easy as 1,2,3......

1. Decide which costumes you would like to sell.
 2.  Tag with information requested below.
3.  Ship to me/Set up local pick up.

Then sit back and wait for it to sell...... 

1. To Sell:  
                                                          
Costumes in good/excellent condition sell best!  Clear out your closets and get them ready to send to me.  Gather up all of the pieces. Place the costume & accessories into a ziplock bag with the "Tag info" inside the bag.  This will keep everything together and keep it dry during shipping. Thanks!

2. Tag your Items:
Keep it simple.  Many people use address labels on notecards then add in the other info.  Also, think about using your computer to set up the address block then write in the other info.  Have your dancer help you with the names of the songs.  I know I do!
                                               
Make sure EACH costume has
Your
Name, address, phone, email address & studio name.
 Price you paid
and
Name of song (if you can remember). 

If Custom Made-  Dancers street size they were when the costume was made for them.
PLEASE include cup size (A,B,C,D) if includes built in bra)
.

 
If cataloge costume sizing tag is missing then please follow Custom Made costume sizing directions!

 
3. Ship it to me!

I like to ship USPS.  United States Postal Service for small shipments and UPS for larger shipments.  Check out rates with both.

Delivery Confirmation Tracking
(not signature required, just tracking) is REALLY required! 

Insurance is optional but recommended.

This is to protect your items from issues with the USPS.  I am not responsible for your items while they are in the mail system prior to getting to me.  Insurance will protect them if lost or damaged.  I ask my sellers to place all of the costumes into a plastic kitchen bag prior to placing in shipping box to protect while being shipped.  I have never had anyone have a problem but I don't want yours to be the first!

Email me the tracking number so I can keep an eye on it. 

 Listing Price: 

I like to list costumes for 55-75% of what you paid for it.  Condition of the costume will determine listing price.  Listing price is per your approval so if you want it higher/lower that is up to you!  I will contact you to confirm price. Remember:  Reasonably priced costumes sell faster!!


Commission:

20% of the selling price point of $100 & UNDER
15% of selling price point OVER $100
 
What do I do for this?  I list on Act2DanceCostumes.com, CostumeSwap, WebShots and eBay (eBay listing will result in additional fees.  Ask for details).  I advertise my site on Dancemom.com, CostumeSwap, Facebook and Twitter.  I take several photos of your costume to show it off best.  Listing descriptions are detailed so buyers can make an informed decision quickly.  I store your costumes in a dry, safe, smoke-free place in my home.  I communicate via Blackberry/email with buyers to respond to buying requests quickly to increase sales.  I ship costumes within ONE day of receiving cleared payment from buyers to insure buyer satisfaction.  I offer a 7 day return to buyers.  I communicate with you, the consignor, to the status of your sale progress.  Profit checks of sold items (after 7 day return) are mailed on the first and third Friday of the month to sellers.  I send a copy of the paypal transaction/or invoice email to verify sale price with you. 

Customer Number:
 
                                                               
You will be assigned a customer number which will be attached to all of your costumes for identification.

What if my costume does not sell this year?
Once your costume is listed it stays listed on my site.

Change your mind?  
There is no problem if you would like your costume back.  Please give me two weeks to process the request.  Return shipping is paid by you, the consignor. Thank you!
