This page helps you learn how we operate so you can be a successful consignor.


What to Expect on Payment and Mark-downs...

The consignor receives 40 percent of sale price of each item sold if taken as CASH, or 50 percent if taken as STORE CREDIT. A one-dollar handling fee goes to Monkeys' Uncle for each item sold.

At the end of the first full month of consignment, items will be marked down 25 percent.

At the end of the second full month, items will be marked down an additional 25 percent.

At the end of the third month, unsold items may be retrieved by consigner. Otherwise, they will be donated to an appropriate local charity.

If Items Do Not Sell We'll Donate It to Charity

We begin to pull items for DONATION
during the last week of the third full month.

Any item may be retrieved prior to donation. If an item has particular sentimental value to you, we suggest you check back to see if it has sold EARLY in the third month.

If requested, Monkey's Uncle will provide the consigner with a receipt for donated items.

Please note: in a consignment situation, the consignor remains the owner of the items until sold or donated. Monkeys' Uncle is not responsible for items lost, stolen or damaged.

The Monkey's "Suggestions"


On This Page:


Please note: we decided to use the word suggestions instead of rules because it sounded so much nicer. We should point out however, that these suggestions will be strictly enforced.

Drop-off is Tuesday through Friday

If you want to consign items, drop them off for evaluation on Tuesday through Friday during our regular hours, (which are listed on our contact page). Sorry: we will not accept consignments on weekends.

No More Than 30 Items Per Visit

In order to serve our consigners in a timely manner, we will only look at 30 items per visit. (But come back as often as you wish when you have items we can help you sell.)

Bring Clothes for Next Season

Clothing will be accepted by the appropriate upcoming season. We suggest you check our Consignor Announcements on our home page or call the store [our phone is: 202 543 6471] to see which season we are currently accepting if you aren't sure.

Clothing Must be in Good Condition

Good condition means all items must be freshly laundered (or dry cleaned if appropriate) and neatly folded. Items ALSO must be

  • + Free of stains, rips or holes
  • + Show no significant wear, pilling or fading
  • + Free of odors such as smoke, mildew, or heavy perfumes
  • + Shoes must be free of dirt, sand or odor

No Lead or Choking Hazards Allowed

per CPSC guidelines, We cannot accept items with zipper pulls or embellishments that could be choking hazards and/or possibly contain lead. In addition, We cannot accept tops with drawstrings.

Plan to Consign Items for up to Three Months

We consign items for a full 3 months and don’t start the clock until the next 1st day of the month. That means an item we take on May 7th gets all of June, July and August!
