What percentage of the sale do I get to keep?
We offer a 50/50 split for most brands, when we accept less than 10 items. When 10+ items are consigned at once, the consigner receives 60% for each item. We offer 70% to our consignors for select pieces from the following designers:. Eligible items for the 70/30 split include: handbags, coats, dresses, jackets, formal attire and leather (jackets, dresses, skirts, pants). SHOES AND BASICS DO NOT QUALIFY. Items that qualify for a 70% commission are in immaculate condition and are in high demand by our guests. It is solely up to the management of Sell Your Sole to decide which pieces receive 70% commission. Hermès handbags are eligible for a higher commission rate, which will be determined by the owner at time of consignment.

Should I be concerned that my clothes won’t sell quickly because you don’t have street visibility?
Actually, our “hidden” location is one of the things that makes our store remarkable. We’ve been featured in both Seattle Met magazine and Seattle Magazine many times, in “Best of” articles and "Hidden Treasure Seattle” articles. In fact, we were named "Best New Shop of 2012” by Seattle Met the very first year we opened!

How do I get my items ready to sell?

Our customers want the best, so any merchandise we receive must be in pristine, “ready to sell” condition. This means: designer handbags, jewelry & small leather goods should be accompanied with their original receipt. If you don’t have your original receipt, we will have each item (listed above), professionally authenticated. The authentication fee is $20.00 per item,$60.00 -$100.00 for Herme`s handbags, which will be deducted from your earnings.
All apparel should be freshly cleaned and brought in on hangers or neatly folded. All items should be free from odors, visible damage or heavy wear. Please bring your shoes in shoe boxes or dust bags if you have them. Please include original tags and packaging, whenever possible. They always raise the value of and desire for the item. If you don’t have time to get your items ready to sell, we will happily take them to the dry cleaner, tailor or cobbler for you, then deduct those expenses from your earnings.
