Important Changes:

New Time Restrictions

In order to allow for less disruption on the floor and the sale in general any item that a seller wishes to include in the sale must be on the floor: Friday between 12:00pm and 2:30 pm and Saturday morning by 7:30 am. 

Invitational Sellers

Due to the success of invitational sellers in our Fall/Winter 2013 sale, we are pleased to announce an expansion of our Invitational Seller. Invitational Sellers are invited to join starting November 2, 2014.  We are really looking forward to all the additional merchandise this will add to our sale.

New Penalties

1)The single most important thing we can do to ensure the continued success of the sale is to maintain high quality standards in the items we sell. This allows for a positive buying experience and ensures more repeat clientele. We have all known the disappointment of purchasing from consignment sales where an item of clothing is stained or a puzzle piece is missing. At NFMOMC we work hard to not have this be a widespread issue with our sale. Please note that while "All Sales are Final", this is meant to protect us from the buyer who changes their mind. This is not meant to trap a buyer into accepting a clearly defective item. We are now including a new fine: minimum $25 to a maximum of 125% of the cost of the defective item, whichever is greater, for any item that is reported and proven to be defective at the point when it was sold. We will contact the seller in advance of imposing the fine to try and work out an amicable arrangement between the buyer and the seller prior to imposing this fine. However if no amicable arrangement can be reached and the club has to become involved in resolving the issue, the club will at its discretion apply the above penalty. 2) We understand that not everyone has the time to attend a tagging class, however tagging classes and the sellers information is a great way to ensure that we have no tagging issues.  If you are a new seller who has significant issues (50% or more of your items) with tags and you have not attended a tagging class, you will be subject to a penalty of up to 25%. 3) We want to maintain the high quality that our sale has a reputation for. One way to ensure this is that sellers are required to have fresh batteries in any item they wish to sell.  If the club has to provide batteries in order to sell an item, the club will assess a $7.50 per battery penalty.
