Greetings!
When you participate in our events, you spend time prepping and tagging your items to sell ALL of them, but inevitably you still need to pick up unsold items at the end of the event.
What if I allowed you to sell at not one but two events, and it wouldn't be any more work or cost for you?! Sounds pretty good, right?
This Spring, we are going to try something new. We will transfer ALL of the unsold items (including items marked to donate) to our sister event in Denver. We will hold the Denver event two weeks after the Douglas County event, on April 20-23, 2023.
Here's how it will work:
- Register for the Douglas County event. Pay your Consignor fee ($14.50) and schedule your drop-off appointment.
- Drop off your items at the Douglas County event in Castle Rock
-
Help at the Douglas County event to earn a higher percentage on your items sold (the Team Member scheduler opens Feb 15th at 8 am) -- this is optional
-
Bring more items (everything except clothing) to the mid-sale drop-off on Friday.
-
At the end of the event, UNSOLD ITEMS DO NOT GET PICKED UP BY YOU. We will pack and transfer your items (including anything marked Donate) to the Denver event.
What happens next...
- We will set up the Denver event with all the items from Douglas County, including any Denver Consignors who register to participate.
- Before the Denver event, you will receive a paycheck for your sold items from the Douglas County event.
-
You can choose to help at the Denver event to earn a high percentage on your items sold (the Denver Team Member scheduler also opens Feb 15th, 8 am). My recommendation is to help on Sunday during the Breakdown shift; this way, you earn a higher percentage and take home your unsold items.
-
Pickup or Donate your unsold items at the National Western Complex in Denver on Monday, April 24th, 8 am-11 am. We will email details & reminders closer to the time.
-
Receive a paycheck for your sold items from the Denver event. Nice! Another paycheck!
We want to make this as easy as possible for you, so if you have any questions, please let us know. Transferring items from one event to the next is a first, we have never done something like this, so we remain optimistic and committed to the motto of "everything is figureoutable." We know questions and challenges will arise.
Additional Information:
- This transfer is not optional, so if you don't want to participate in two events, please consider selling at another JBF location.
- When you register for the Douglas County event, we will automatically register you for the Denver event. On the "front end" (the part you see in your profile), we will register you as a "Team Member"; we will intentionally not register you as a Consignor.
We will do this for two reasons:
1. This will allow you access to the Team Member scheduler to add a shift if you want to earn a higher percentage at the Denver event.
2. We will register you in the backend of our system as a Consignor for the Denver event. Signing up as a Consignor on the "front end" will inundate your email inbox with additional Consignor-focused emails which you don't need.
There is nothing additional you will need to do for registration.
-
IMPORTANT: You do NOT need to pay an additional Consignor fee in Denver if you have paid the price for Douglas County.
- Items marked to donate will only be donated after the Denver event.
-
We will not hold the Fill-A-Bag fundraiser in Douglas County this Spring, 2023. Instead, we will have it on Sunday, April 23rd, at the Denver event.
- We will send information about how you can pick up unacceptable items that we've pulled from the sales floor in Douglas County. Unacceptable items will incur a $0.50 handling fee and will not be transferred to Denver.
Again please let us know if you have any questions!
