How Consignment Works:

If you consign your next to new, gently worn items with a consignment store, you place them in the company's care for a limited period of time.  You receive a percentage of the sale of your item, but you are only paid AFTER your item(s) sell.  The consignment business generally pays 40% of the selling price, to the consignor, on items such as apparel and accessories.  

Furniture items that command prices over $100 may pay up to 70% to the consignor.  This varies based on how quickly furniture items move in each store.  Repeat Performance has the most success selling smaller furniture items, those that sell for less than $200.

Repeat Performance looks for more upscale clothing and accessory items.  If an item is purchased from Wal-Mart or K-Mart, the original sales price is usually less than $10.  It is difficult to accept an item on consignment that only sold for $8 originally.  For Repeat Performance to survive, we have to offer what our customers are looking for.  When one can purchase a top NWT at K-Mart for $10, we can't resell them for more than $5.  

Repeat Performance tracks the sale of each item, and pays the 40% or 70% based on the price the item sold for.  As Repeat Performance has to respond to the marketplace, we reserve the right to discount items at a reasonable rate.

You are paid at the end of the consignment and items that remain unsold are donated on your behalf.
