Consign49 Consignment Sale
November 11-14th
Raven Hall, Alaska State Fairgrounds
Does sweater weather have you in the mood for not only pumpkin spice everything, but also a seasonal closet refresh? How would you like to shop from a selection of thousands of high quality items at 60-90% off retail prices, while also supporting local community members! The holidays are just around the corner, and so is the next Consign49 consignment sale.
Consign49 is a four-day consignment sale held each spring and fall, in which over 200 local community members bring new and gently used clothing, accessories, and home décor items together to form a large-scale resale pop-up. Each consignor individually prices and tags items, and items are dropped off approximately one day before the sale begins. Consign49 Team Members work to organize all items, so everything can be easily shopped according to category and size. In addition, there is a “vendor row” where over a dozen local businesses will have booths for sharing their products and services.
Consign49 is a smart, sustainable way to shop, earn money, and extend the lifecycle of high-quality items! Consignors get to clear out items from their homes, while earning some extra cash for the holidays. Shoppers get the opportunity to buy brand name items, or much needed seasonal items, for a fraction of retail prices. Additionally, many items that go unsold at the end of the event will be donated to local charities in need. For the upcoming event, Consign49 will be partnering with the MyHouse homeless youth center as the primary recipient of all unsold items donated through the generosity of our consignors.
The Consign49 Fall/Holiday 2021 Sale will be held November 11-14 at Raven Hall at the Alaska State Fairgrounds in Palmer, Alaska. Admission and parking are free, all major credit cards are accepted, and dressing rooms will be provided. Event hours are 9am – 8pm, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and from 9am – 5pm on Sunday. On Sunday, November 14th, many remaining items will be marked half-price, depending on whether the individual consignor has chosen to put the item into the half-price sale.
