consignment vs swapping
THEM: Consignment stores try to sell your unwanted items for you. If they sell, they pay you a percentage of the sale (typically 40%-50%). The longer they remain, the more they are marked down. What doesn't sell can be picked up or they'll be donated. They will not accept anything other than "high end" or designer labels/brands to increase the chance they'll sell. You must bring your items in perfect condition and ironed. This is an option if you only have high-end items in perfect condition and are willing to play the waiting game.
US: Don't have time to perfectly prep your unwanted items or don't have the patience to wait & hope for them to sell and be paid? Gumdrop Swap is your guaranteed "buyer"! We don't pay cash but as long your items are in good to new condition, we will award you with shopping points we call "gumdrops". You can spend your credits right away- no waiting! You pay a 40% "swap fee" for all gumdrops used to purchase all pre-loved clothing. So, for every 1 gumdrop point you use, you only pay $.40. That's 60% OFF the already low prices a non-swapper would pay! The swap fee for gear, equipment, toys, and new clothing/shoes is 60%. So for every 1 gumdrop point you use for these items, you only pay $.60.That's a savings of 40% OFF the already low prices a non-swapper would pay!
For instance, a pair of pre-loved infant jeans cost a non-swapper $6 but if you have 6 gumdrops in your account, those jeans would only cost you $2.40 (60%OFF)! A NEW infant summer outfit could cost a non-swapper $6 but would only cost you $3.60 (40% OFF).
Bring clothing that has been freshly laundered and folded in a bag, bin, or suitcase (preferably something reusable so you can take your purchases home in it as well). Clean/disinfect toys and gear. Make sure there are batteries in any toys that require them so we know they are in working condition. Snap all snaps, zip up zippers and button all buttons to make our swap go quickly. We will donate anything unsuitable to sell for you if you don't want them back.
You can give your gumdrop credits in a gift certificate by paying ONLY 60% of the face value on the gift certificate!

In this example, the swapper earned 189 gumdrops. If she spent all her gumdrops on pre-loved clothes, her swap fee would be $75.60 before tax. That a savings of 60% $189 worth of merchandise.
