Q: Do I have to sit at a table and sell my items?

A: No, the process is very simple. You register to consign, tag your items and sign up for a time to drop off your items. We organize all of the items by gender and size and do the selling for you.

Q: Where is your store?

A: Fairytale Threads is an event, not a store. Our Fall Event will be 3 days long so mark your calendar for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 27-29th in Austin.

Q: What items are sold at your event?

A: Fairytale Threads will have children’s clothing from newborn to kid’s size 16 (up to 2T at the Baby event), strollers, highchairs, toys, strollers, climbers, slides, travel cribs, children’s furniture, maternity clothes and even more for moms and kids!

Q: How much do consignors make?

A: The average consignor check from our events is over $325! It all depends on how much you bring.

Q: How can I shop early?

A: Volunteers and Consignors get to shop before the public. You do not have to consign to volunteer.

Q: Is there a discount or half-price sale?

A: Please see the event schedule for our reduce days. All items marked “reduce” will be discounted and all the other items will be full price.

Q: What is the last day to enter inventory online?

A: All inventory must be in the online system by Saturday, June 22nd at 11:59 pm. You can print tags after inventory input is closed.

Q: I am a consignor ready to print tags. They look right on the screen but when I print them out, they come out jumbled. How can I fix this problem?

A: When you are working with inventory, use internet explorer. Firefox does not translate correctly when printed out.

Q: Are children/strollers allowed at the event?

A: While we recommend that you shop without the kids, children are welcome at our public sales. Please keep your children with you at all times.

Q: How big will your sale be?

A: We had over 32,000 items at our Fall 2012 event.

Q: What forms of payment do you accept?
