Consign49 Fall/Holiday 2024 Pop-Up Consignment Sale
Contributed by Ryanne Ori
Does the onset of cooler weather have you in the mood for pumpkin spice everything, and also a serious seasonal refresh for your wardrobe and home decor? How would you like to shop from a selection of thousands of high-quality items at 50-90% off retail prices, all while directly supporting local community members!
Consign49 is a four-day consignment sale held each spring and fall, in which over 300 local community members participate by bringing new and gently used clothing, accessories and home décor items together to form a large-scale resale pop-up. Each consignor independently prices and prepares items to be brought to the event, and items are dropped off at the event location approximately one day before the sale begins. Consign49 Team Members work to organize all the items to ensure everything can be easily shopped according to category and size in a retail like setting. Once the event opens, shoppers can browse the entire venue before bringing their selections to the central checkout station.
Consign49 events are a smart, sustainable way to shop, save and earn money, and extend the lifecycle of high-quality items! Consignors are motivated to clear out items from their homes, while also 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 is partnering with the My House Foundation homeless youth center as the primary recipient of unsold items to be donated through the generosity of our consignors.
The Consign49 Fall/Holiday 2024 Consignment Sale will be held November 14-17 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 17th, 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.
