Do I have to stay and work the sale (reserve a booth to sell)?
While we welcome you to join us as a staff member to make more money and help make the sale a success, this is not required. Our events are not set up in "booth" fashion, rather items are organized by type (all books, toys, baby gear, bags, etc together) across sellers. This makes for a more pleasant shopping experience and sells more of your items!
What happens if my items do not sell?
You get to choose what happens to any of your items that don't sell - donate to our great local charity (Abilene ISD's Homeless Student Ministries) or pickup at the end of the sale.
