How to Consign
Consignment is by appointment only, and appointments are scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please note that we cannot accommodate walk-ins.
To schedule an appointment:
Please call 518-580-4200 on the 15th of the month. If the shop is closed on the 15th, appointments will be made on the next business day. You will be booking an appointment for the following month. When you come in, you will be asked to sign a consignment inventory contract and fill out a consignment inventory sheet. You can review these ahead of time by downloading the forms, below.
All prices are set by Treasures.
What to Bring
You may bring no more than 10 consignment items to each appointment. Items must be in season and in excellent condition (only gently used). If you are not sure if an item qualifies, just ask. We are happy to answer any questions.
All consignment items are evaluated by our volunteers/staff during your appointment. Please note that we accept only those items that meet our criteria.
