You, our crew & consignors, are our BEST inspectors! So, we’re going to pay you to do it! What? Yep! Carefully inspect all your items at home (and again when you put it in the car and one more time when you take it out and then again when you place it on the sales floor!) because your fellow consignors/shoppers now make $$$ on your mistakes.
Crew & Consignor shopping time is now known as INSPECT & SHOP. Seriously, you’re sifting through those racks with a fine tooth comb anyway so we’re going to pay you $1 in shopping credit/coupon for every “not up to par” item you find and pull off the rack. AND . . .we’ll charge that dollar to the seller whose item it is (subtracted from proceeds) Fines are doubled if you have more than 5 sub-par items.
Note: Presale Shoppers who are not consignors can also cash in on this coupon! We put up signs throughout the venue specifically inviting them to search! To avoid fines, you must thoroughly inspect your items and pledge to bring us only your best. And finally . . .don’t forget that items returned as broken or with missing pieces incur BIG fines (1.5 times the price of the item!) Double jeopardy: if you have more than 5 items “turned in” then those fines double!! It’s definitely in your best interest to inspect your own things and bring only your best!

Please please please read the guide on this. It’s updated! (there’s a 20 item limit per seller on Teen Girls sizes) AND it’s the easiest that it has ever been. Use the categories Teen Girl Clothing and Teen Boy Clothing Both genders now have the S,M,L sizing options. REACH OUT if you need clarification! Find that guide HERE
-
Use the categories Infant Clothing-Boy and Infant Clothing-Girl for all clothing that is sized Preemie through 18-24m. There is a 50 item limit per gender across the entire range of infant sizes .
We limit the amount of infant clothing we accept because we know how much of it we can sell! There are a lot of great NWT/ never worn/got it as a gift pieces!
Pricing competitively is super important in these sizes.
Find more details HERE.
-
Yes, PayPal, at around 10 business days (2 weeks) after sale close, to the email address-your account number- that YOU entered when you first acquired an account with MyConsignmentManager. (Please note: it doesn’t matter how you paid. It matters which address you offered when you got your account with MYCM. That is the only email address that we have on file for you)
If you ABSOLUTELY can not make PayPal work, a check can be cut 30 days after the PayPal payments go out. There is a $3 fee for this service.
-
It is called Sail Again Consignors Group and once you are registered, you can (and should!) join here. It’s not just for newbies! We communicate there a lot! There are always seasoned consignors there who are willing to help.
-
We host drop-off for most of the day on Sunday, and for much of the day on Monday. (We will likely have some Tuesday morning spots available too) Please know that we will do our best to work with you to find a way (time) for you to get your stuff to us! The easiest and best way though is for you to make an appointment and then arrive at that time.
There will be signage to assist you. Maps and drop off instructions will be linked on the Cheat Sheet within 2 weeks of the sale. If you‘d like a bit more info on what to expect ahead of that time, you may click here.
-
Yep! SATURDAY NIGHT (or on Sunday morning from 8am-9am) and YES, before the 75% off sale! Mark everything to donate and you don’t have to come back (and you’ll keep that extra 5% of your sales and you’ll make even more $ on what sells on Sunday!) Everything not picked up will be offered for sale at 75% off on Sunday! You can find more info on Pick-Up here.
-
. . . to the first 500 paid & registered OR to the first 75,000 tags entered (whichever comes first!!) YES! We are getting smaller and more curated by design! Our plan is for each of our individual consignors to sell MORE . . . and it’s working! Please note, once we reach our limit the sale will automatically close registration and/or shut down for entering new items
-
Go ahead! Do it now!
When you begin registration, go ahead and pay & complete.
Once you’re “complete”, you can start tagging and getting your stuff in the system!

Consignor Agreement
In order to participate in any Sail Again Event, our sellers have always had to sign off on the Consignor Agreement when registering and then sign that they understand they’re bound by it when they drop off their items. Sure, we know you signed off on it when you completed your registration but . . . we thought you might like to read it again . . . either before or after that, so we are linking it here. Please familiarize yourself with the document and be prepared to sign that you have read it when you come to drop off.

Consignor Payouts
Consignors are paid via PayPal direct deposit before the 11th business day after sale close to the email address you provided when you first established an account at a My Consignment Manager sale. This is the only account number we have for you and we will not edit it. (You can edit it in your MYCM profile if you like and then that’s where you will get all our correspondence)
Everyone is first paid via PayPal mass payment to that email address. If the money is not claimed, PayPal may alert your via an email that you have money and ask you what you’d like to do about it. PayPal will definitely alert us (in the form of a list) of all the people who have not claimed their $ at the 30 day mark. At that point, PayPal returns any unclaimed money to our account and that triggers the check writing. 30 days after payments go out, after PayPal returns the money to us, we can send you a check. (Note: this happens with fewer than 10 sellers each season! We can figure this out.) Questions? Please contact us via email at sailagainlkn@gmail.com and we will be happy to assist you.
