How to Sell
Prepare
Freshly wash your garments and make sure they are in a sellable condition. Check for broken or missing hardware, clear out pockets, check inside of handbags and remove any pet hair, odours and mud.
Visit
Drop off your packaged consignment to any of the 4 Tatty’s store locations during opening hours. You'll be asked to fill in and sign a stock arrival identification form and choose whether you prefer to have items presented for assessment but not accepted for re-sale returned to you.
Make sure you allow enough time for your visit, especially if dropping off during the weekend. We recommend allowing around 10 minutes to complete an in store consignment drop off.
Unaccepted items returned - Yes or No?
If you opt YES to collect your unaccepted items (also known as ‘Returns’) any items presented for assessment, and not accepted for resale, will be held at our Kingsland location for you to collect within 7 days of your consignment being assessed and processed. You can check on your consignment’s status through your user portal. Please be aware that due to the volume of items we handle we cannot list items that we have not selected for sale.
If not collected within the 7 day time frame the unaccepted items will be disposed of at Tatty’s sole discretion.
If you opt NO to collecting your unaccepted items then any items presented for assessment, and not accepted for resale, will be disposed of at Tatty’s sole discretion at the point of processing. Unfortunately due to the volume we handle, if you opt NO, we are unable to retrieve any items once they have been assessed and your consignment processed.
We generally suggest all new sign ups opt to collect their unaccepted items, so you can get a better idea of what each of our four Tatty’s stores are looking for!
In Store
Once processed the items accepted for sale will be listed on your user portal. Your items will be sold in-store and online over a six week period. When entering their 4th week in stock, unsold items will be reduced by 50%. All items sold receive a minimum 45% commission (ex. gst), and we do offer a tiered commission structure for special high end items. If you’d like to discuss consigning any special items please do so prior to consigning, contact us at tattys@tattys.co.nz
You can easily track the progress of your items over the six week selling period through your online account. Sales and all status changes are processed in real time, meaning full transparency between Tatty’s and you the consignor, from your initial consignment drop off, to your sales, transactions and even all archived items from previous consignments.
Should there be any unsold items you wish to collect, visit the Tatty’s store location the items have been selling at either on, or prior to, the listed 6 week expiration date assigned to your items. Let a team member know and they will assist you with reconciling your account.

No! Feel free to drop off your consignment during opening hours to either Tatty's at 161 and 78 Ponsonby rd, or Tatty's Kingsland.
We don't like to be too prescriptive in terms of saying what we can't take based on label alone. Tatty's is looking for well constructed pieces that are built to last, and meet the demands of our customer base! This means fast fashion pieces may not be selected. It's a good idea to have a look through our online store to see the types of items we accept and the prices put on them.
There is no minimum, but please be mindful of the volume you drop off as Tatty's has a maximum drop off limit of 3 large sacks or the equivalent.
Tatty's is a consignment store, which means we do not purchase items outright. Rather, we sell your pieces on your behalf. Once the item sells you receive 45% of the selling price, exclusive of GST.
We accept any valid photo identification, such as a driver's license, passport, or 18+ card.
Our dedicated stock team prices your pieces! Our prices are the result of careful research and our industry experience, as well as Tatty's sales history. The prices reflect market value, demand and condition.
You're welcome to withdraw your pieces at any time during the consignment period. You'll just need to pop into the store the item has been selling in, locate the items and then have a team member reconcile your account. Please note that pieces cannot be picked up while they are in the processing queue.
You're welcome to send someone on your behalf to collect returns or expiring items - just let the team know the nominated person's name in advance and we can pop a note on your account. Please note we cannot pay out funds to anyone other than the account holder.
We do not wash, dry-clean or mend pieces on your behalf. Please freshly wash or air out your pieces before bringing them in, so they’re ready for a new home.
You can collect your payout by bank transfer or use it as a gift card towards a new Tatty's purchase! Please ensure your photo identification and bank account are uploaded and correct.
You're welcome to withdraw your pieces at any time during the consignment period. If you do not wish for your piece to sell at a discounted price, please take note of when they will be discounted and visit us before they drop in price. If you are not sure what date your pieces will become discounted, we encourage you to get in touch.
The expiration date is the final date to collect any unsold items. Due to the volume of items we receive, we do need to keep on top of the expiring items once they have finished their run in store to ensure we can operate smoothly. Please remember to pop in to collect any items you are wishing to withdraw on, or before the listed expiration date.
Unfortunately if you opted "No" to collecting your returns any items not accepted into stock will have been sorted for disposal at the point of processing, meaning we are unable to retrieve them. If in doubt opt "Yes" to collecting your returns.
