volunteering
From checking in the merchandise, to setting up for the big event, to numerous other tasks, the sale would not be possible without our volunteers! We appreciate our volunteers immensely!!
Volunteering is fun, easy and you meet so many new people!! Plus, you can earn yourself an exclusive pass to the Volunteer ONLY (no guests permitted) pre-sale...the perfect way to make sure you can shop early and get the best selection.
Only consignors may register to volunteer**!
NO CHANGES TO VOLUNTEER SHIFTS MAY BE MADE AFTER 9PM Thursday, April 5th. PLEASE CALL IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY. GRETCHEN 602-570-3576 KRISTEN 480-276-3323

In addition to the above incentives, several shifts can earn these Bonus incentives:

If you choose to schedule yourself into multiple consecutive shifts, please understand that we need you to work the full shifts you signed up for and don't give a "lunch hour". Please bring snacks and take appropriate breaks as needed.
Please do not schedule your drop off time during your volunteer shift. Before or after is acceptable!
*if you are a previous consignor and volunteer, but are not able to consign with us this sale...please email us if you are interested in volunteering for a presale pass.
Nursing moms: we are sorry that at this time we do not have shifts that would accomodate a nursing break but feel free to send a friend or husband in your place. Still only one entry into the presale will be permitted.
If a consignor does not show up for their shift(s) they will not only lose the incentive but their commission percentage will drop to 30%. It is VERY important that volunteers be responsible for their shifts. If you are unable to work please find a replacement. If you have an EMERGENCY please notify Kristen at 480-276-3323 or Gretchen at 602-570-3576 that you will be unable to work. We have implemented this volunteer policy in order to prevent people from taking advantage of the early shopping benefits, and then failing to work their scheduled shift. This policy allows us to attract only those who are responsible and dependable. Please be aware that we do not offer childcare for volunteers at this time.
***Please be aware that volunteers who consign items that are not their own property will lose their extra commission earned and default to 65%.
Additional opportunities are available to individuals who want to earn a “Volunteer Pre-Sale” pass with or without being a consignor.
Media Coverage: If you can help us with Radio, Television or Newspaper Coverage you will receive a Volunteer Pre-Sale Pass.
Graphic Designer/Artist Needed: If you can work with our flyer you will receive 80% commission.
