Yes, the Consignor ID you received when you registered is yours to use in each sale! The only time you would need to register for a new consignor ID is if you 1) have exceeded the item entry limit for your current ID and would like to sell more items, or 2) would like to participate with another Rhea Lana's franchise.
We require plastic hangers for all items. We care about your items and plastic hangers ensure your items are protected and look great on the rack. Retail plastic hangers are acceptable!
Your hangers stay on the items and go home with the shopper. However, any items you purchase will include the hanger. If this is your first time consigning we suggest marking your items 25-50 cents higher to help re-coop your initial investment.
You’ll need to bundle items to reach the required minimum.
We typically recommend to allow one hour per one hundred items for Consignor Drop Off.

Our donated items go to local foster families and non-profit organizations in the community.
We encourage you to bring your best items so that you sell a high percentage of your items! Work smarter not harder. It is our experience that a consignor who brings 125 great items will do better than a consignor who brings 175 items that are poor quality, out-of-date and/or over-priced.
1. Maternity Clothing is limited to 15 hangers per consignor. The limit includes clothing only.
2. Juniors Clothing is limited to 15 hangers per consignor. The limit includes clothing only.
3. In order to keep our inventory high-end and of the highest quality, we are limiting consignors to 200 items per consignor code. Please carefully check your things and bring your best! It is our experience that a consignor who brings 125 great items will do better than a consignor who brings 175 items that are poor quality, out-of-date and/or priced too high.
An entire outfit is only considered one item as long as it can be sold together. This new limit encompasses clothing, shoes, toys, books, furniture and other items.
**If you have more than 200 items in EXCELLENT condition, you may sign up for additional consignor codes. Each code will be subject to the $11.50 consignor fee and 200 items may be entered for each code you open.

We are allowing our employees and consignors to bring either their spouse or parent with them to help them shop, not a sister or best friend. You may give your guest pass to your sister or friend & meet them at the Guest Sale later in the evening. Our employees and consignors have worked hard to earn this special shopping privilege and we want to honor them. We will be checking!
We love your children, but please leave them with your husband or a friend during your shopping time, if possible. Pre-Sale will be very busy and it may be difficult for you to keep your child right beside you. (This will make it a more fun shopping experience for you as well!) You can always give your guest pass to a friend as a thank-you for watching your children. Just bring a tape measure and their measurements and enjoy a mom's night out!
We suggest you set the price at 25-30% of the retail value. Baby Equipment, Furniture and Large Indoor/Outdoor Toys usually sell for more and are in high demand. We have an abundance of 0-12 month sizes, so they must be priced competitively in order to sell. Maternity and Junior's clothing are also in abundance so price these competitively, also.
Absolutely! You will need to register separately for each event by going to each website. (Example: To consign in both the Broken Arrow and the South Tulsa events, you will have 2 consignor codes- one for the BA sale and one for the ST sale).
We accept plastic hangers (any kind) and wire coated hangers. Please do not use bare wire hangers - they can be dangerous and when old, they rub ash onto clothing. We recommend you use children's plastic hangers for sizes 7 and below and large plastic hangers for sizes 8 and above. No wire hangers, please!
Place them in a Ziploc bag and then after we inspect them (during Consignor Intake/Drop-Off), seal the Ziploc with clear packing tape. This is important!
First, be sure to affix the barcode label to the string tag; do not stick it directly onto the item or the bag. Then attach the string part of the string tag to the item with packing tape. Make sure the tag is visible.
We suggest you bring a laundry basket with your name on it. We will have a limited number of shopping carts and bags at the store.
If it meets our "excellent quality" standards, then group it together with one or two more like items. Pin them together on a hanger, or group them in a Ziploc bag and put one price for the entire group.
Wrinkled clothes do not sell! We will likely send them home to you if they are extremely wrinkled. Please do what is necessary to make your clothes look clean and nice. Remember, the better they look, the more likely they are to sell!
Yes, you may enter additional batches.
We are not able to accept ANY clothing that has odor of any kind. When it is hung on the rack with other clothes, the odor spreads. We must be sensitive to children and families with allergies and we absolutely cannot sell any items with smoke odor, pet odor, or any other kind of odor. Clothing with pet hair is also not acceptable.
Yes! We have lots of sponsorship opportunities at affordable prices. Let us help you reach your target market - moms with families. Contact Rebekah at rebekah@rhealana.com
