A. Nursing infants (non-walking) are allowed at pre-sales. We still strongly urge you to find someone to watch your precious child as your shopping experience will greatly improve without the added responsibility.
Q. What percentage of the sales do I receive?
A. Consignors receive 65% of their sales less a $10 consignor fee (deducted from your check). Consignors who volunteer earn 70%. NEW THIS SALE: Consignors earn an extra 5% of their sales when they refer three new consignors who consign at least 10 items each. (Please make sure your referrals list your name on the 'referred by' line of the online signup page.)
Q. Who does the pricing?
A. You set your own price and you get to decide if it is discounted on our half-price days. Check out our "Merchandise Prep" page for pricing guidelines. Q. What percentage of my items can I expect to sell?
A. Most sellers sell approximately 80% of their items in sizes 2-10. For sizes under 24 months the percentage of sales drops due to the sheer volume of merchandise brought in by consignors to sell, and the fact that, people tend to receive infant clothing as gifts, hand me downs etc , therefore they do not have a need to buy these items. The older sizes (12-16 and up) also will sell a lower percentage as children become pickier as they near the teen and pre-teen years.
Q. How do I sign up to consign?
A. Just click on our "Online Signup" button and fill out the form. You will receive an email confirmation with in moments. Q. Can I hand-write my tags?
A. Unfortunately our Round Rock JBF will no longer be able to accomodate consignors with hand-written tags. With our online barcoding system (www.myjbftags.com) it is so easy to enter your tags and print them off, then be able to track your sales. We have moved to a Point of Sale system and need all consignors to be using the scannable tags.
Q. How long should I give myself to drop off my items?
A. We have self check-in and it typically takes about an hour to drop off your items. Your items will be inspected and then you place them in the designated areas around the sales floor. It is helpful to bring a wagon to drop off your items. Best time of day to drop off is around the time when moms are picking up kids from school. Q. When and where do I drop off my items?

Yes, but we would like for you to save "obvious" spring/summer items for our Spring/Summer Sale (sundresses, tank tops, sandals, etc.).
