WARD AVENUE will determine the selling price of your items by taking into account the item’s retail price, style, condition, brand and past in-store popularity. Items are generally priced around 1/2 to 1/3 of their retail value, taking into account what similar items have sold for here in the past. We price items on a case-by-case basis so please let us know if you have anything in mind.

You will have access to your items and credits via our portal that will be emailed to you. Please keep track of the date of your items entry date; you will not receive another reminder when your 90 day cycle ends.

Items that have not sold in their first 60 days are automatically reduced 40% in price. If you do not want an item to be reduced, you may pick up the item prior to its sale date. Please keep track of this date, as we cannot be responsible for items sold at their reduced price. After 90 days, items unsold and unclaimed are considered “expired” and become property of WARD AVENUE. Expired items will either be sold and credited to the house account or donated. YOUR ACCOUNT WILL NOT BE CREDITED OR REIMBURSED FOR ITEMS SOLD AFTER THEIR 90-DAY EXPIRATION DATE. You are always welcome to pick up any unsold items at any time prior to their expiration date; however, it is your responsibility to keep track of your expiration date and claim unsold items before this date. If you wish to retrieve unsold items at the end of your cycle. We recommend setting a calendar reminder in your phone for one or two weeks prior to your expiration date.

Each time you consign items, you begin another 90-day consignment period. It is your responsibility to keep track of your sale and expiration dates for each time you consign and to call or email WARD AVENUE

to claim items before their sale and expiration dates if you so choose.

If you opt to retrieve unsold items prior to expiration, we are happy to take down your information and have the Inventory Manager pull the items for you and contact you with an update within the next 7-10 days. You will receive 50% of each item’s final selling price for items sold during your 90-day consignment cycle. You may call or email to request your earnings. There is no charge to use store credit at any time. Accounts unused for greater than one year will be deemed inactive and associated account balances will be zeroed out.
