A Double D-er is a consignor who marks ALL their items for discount  and donate.

As a Double D-er, you get special privileges like:

The first one to shop 50% off sale. You get to shop at Noon on Saturday for an in-person event!  

Please note: Large furniture items can NOT be donated. This will not affect your DD-er status. 

For an online event DD-ers shop before consignors!

When you discount your items, you will see that you will sell more of your items too! AND you are donating to a great charity.

We only have so much space for so many items and once we hit the max that we can hold, anyone who registers after we reach our limit is a restock consignor.
A restock consignor is a consignor who restocks our shelves before we open to the public.

As a restock consignor, you get an extended time to enter in your items and you will drop off your items on Friday instead of Tues. Restock consignors have until the  Friday of your event at 9am to enter in their items and print tags.

As a restock consignor, you still get the same percentage and you still get your early shopping privileges.  You can even be a Crew Member too!

Don’t Fret if you are a restock consignor, we have found that restock consignors sell the same percentage of their items (sometimes more!) than a regular consignor. Why? Because our shoppers know new items come in on Friday and they come back and shop again!

ONLINE EVENTS

There are no restock consignors for the online events.

Great Question! A Hippo Crew Member is a Consignor that chooses to be more hands on with the Hippo Events  by helping during the events.

We list all the times we are looking for help during the event and as a Crew Member you select the times you would like to help.

As a consignor you choose your tier level which effects the amount of commission you pay to us to sell your items.

Here are the Tier levels:

•  Tier One — Consignor with no Crew Member shifts (make 65%)
• Tier Two — Consignor with one Crew Member shift (make 65% and earlier shopping times)
• Tier Three — Consignor with two Crew Member shifts (make 70% and earlier shopping times)
• Tier Four — Consignor with three Crew Member shifts (make 75% and earlier shopping times)
• Tier Five — Consignor with four Crew Member shifts (make 80% and earlier shopping times)

You can get wire hangers from many places. Walmart and Target both sell them. You can also buy them from a dry cleaner.  Some consignors have ordered them from Amazon.

We also buy wire hangers in bulk and sell them to consignors at our cost which is 12 cents a hanger.  

We schedule pick up times for you to meet up with us and get your hangers.

 Click here to order hangers.

The base split is 65/35 which means you make 65% and you pay us a commission of 35%.  You are prepping, pricing and tagging your items and dropping them off.  Then we take over and we sell the items for you for a 35% commission.

The 35% commission that you pay us to sell your items covers the cost of rent, marketing/advertising, credit card fees, all the equipment used to set up the event, processing payments, running the event itself and other related cost. If you would like to help us during an event   you can pay us a smaller commission.

We know not everyone can help out during the event that’s why we offer different tier levels for consignors. Each tier has different splits. The more crew member shifts the less commission you pay to us and there are those earlier shopping privileges too!

Here are the Consignor Tier levels:

•  Tier One — Consignor with no Crew Member shifts (65/35 split)
• Tier Two — Consignor with one Crew Member shift (65/35 split and earlier shopping times)
• Tier Three — Consignor with two Crew Member shifts (70/30 split and earlier shopping times)
• Tier Four — Consignor with three Crew Member shifts (75/25 split and earlier shopping times)
• Tier Five — Consignor with four Crew Member shifts (80/20 split and earlier shopping times)

Please note: There are no crew member shifts during online events.  We only one two consignor tiers available which are Tier One and Busy Mom tier.

It’s just a fancy way of you choosing your involvement with The Hippo Events. Some like to have The Hippo Events do all the work of selling their items which means they get the base 65% and pay Hippos a commission of 35% for selling their items. Others want to be more involved in the process and pay us less of a commission.

Each Tier has a different level of involvement with different levels of splits (your percentage and the commission you pay to us).  The more crew member shifts you decide to do, the less commission you pay to us.

Here are the different tier levels:

• Tier One — Consignor with no Crew Member shifts (make 65%)
• Tier Two — Consignor with one Crew Member shift (make 65% and earlier shopping times)
• Tier Three — Consignor with two Crew Member shifts (make 70% and earlier shopping times)
• Tier Four — Consignor with three Crew Member shifts (make 75% and earlier shopping times)
• Tier Five — Consignor with four Crew Member shifts (make 80% and earlier shopping times)

Please note: There are no crew member shifts during online events.  We only one two consignor tiers available which are Tier One and Busy Mom tier.
