Consign Your Dance Costume or Skating Costumes, Dance Costume Consignment – Once More From The Top

Once More from the Top is your Skating and Dance Costume Consignment Shop. Are you interested in consigning with us?

We are currently accepting new costumes and look forward to helping you sell your old costumes and purchase new ones. There is no need to store piles of beautiful costumes in your closet or basement where they sit and gather dust. Why not help out another dancer in need of a beautiful costume and make some money as well?

How to consign your costume

Below, we detail how you consign (sell) your costumes with us:

STEP 1 - Consigning

Please email us pictures of your costume that you plan to sell. It is better to have an idea if a costume is sellable up front rather than you send it, and we return it as non-saleable.

We only accept higher-end costumes (competitive caliber). Basic recital/catalogue costumes simply won’t sell if others can purchase it from the same costume book/website you purchased it from. Your costume that was purchased from a store and re-designed must be heavily stoned or changed, extensively. Our clients are expecting competition ready costumes that are rhinestoned extensively or full of appliqués, feathers, silks, satins, etc.

STEP 2 – Consigning

Please look over the costume, carefully. Look for sweat and deodorant stains, missing beading/stones, pulls or tears in the fabric. If you look at the costume and you would not let your daughter wear it, then don’t consign it.

We only accept cleaned costumes!  Do not send us costumes that have not been cleaned. If you were to receive a costume from someone, you would not want a dirty one. We reserve the right to return them to you, at your expense, if they are too dirty. If we do have to wash them, we charge a $10 fee off the top of your sales. Also, make sure that the arm pits, and undergarment areas are CLEAN!!! You can clean your costumes by hand washing with Woolite or another gentle laundry detergent. If you have more than minimal (5) rhinestones missing or we have to repair your costume, an additional charge will be assessed based on labour fees to our company. If you can repair zippers, stones missing, rips, tears and beading yourself, please do so before sending us your items. We DO GO THROUGH EVERY COSTUME TO CHECK FOR DAMAGE AND CLEANLINESS!

There should be an index card attached to each costume/dress you are consigning. Inside each bag the following information should be on the card index card

If your costume comes in with a group, the group rate will have to be set at the same rate. If you send in group costumes, make sure all costumes have the same parts and pieces. Group costumes have to match in pieces and price. When sending in your costumes please package those in the large, clear Ziploc bags. There are Large, XL and 2XL big bags along with gallon size bags available for different types of costumes that can be folded neatly inside. Please don’t stuff your costumes into a bag that is too small to hold it as it may damage the costume. Please make sure all of the information above is on the card placed inside the bag. Local customers we can meet for pickup but please make sure you follow the same guidelines.

If you have a tutu, please contact us prior to shipping as these items cannot be shipped in the same manner

STEP 3 – Consigning 

When we receive your costume, we take pictures for the website and include it in our inventory. We determine the price of your costume based on how the market is trending, usually 50-75% of its original price. Based on previous experience and those of our other competitors, you are likely to only get about ½ of the purchase price on simpler costumes and higher for more extravagant ones. Be realistic and let us help you sell your costumes! We offer refunds within 7 days of purchase because we want our buyers to feel confident in buying from us and trust that we provide only the highest quality service and gently used costumes. Once the refund window has ended and payments are cleared we will send you the money by e-transfer to the email address that you provide in the contract. We do not mail cash or cheques.

Step 4 - Consigning

Our fee on the sale of your costume is 40 percent of the selling price of the costume plus tax and shipping. Our fee is based on the amount of time it takes us to inventory, appraise, and load the costumes on the site, as well as storing them for the period of the contract. Again, you will incur additional fees for the washing and repairing of your costume if deemed necessary. Once a costume is sold and we confirm that the costume will not be returned, we will send your money to you via E-transfer

Please view our inventory. Check back frequently as we are constantly adding more products to our site. You can also contact us at [email protected]

Commission shop "Dobro" 0+ nine0080

If you have accumulated unnecessary things - clothes and shoes, household goods - do not replenish landfills with them. Extend the life of things by taking them to the Dobro thrift store, where other people will buy them. This option is good for both the environment and your wallet.

Dmitrovskoe sh., 73/3 (Metromall shopping center)
nine0079 Service Armonik.ru 0+

If you need to quickly empty your apartment of old household appliances, dishes, furniture and other unnecessary things, then you can turn to professionals who will take out the rubbish and leave the apartment clean. Historical items will find a new life, and valuable copies can even be redeemed! Free removal of things is also possible if the appraisers can cover all travel expenses by selling them. nine0009

Free social service for the removal of unnecessary things "EcoVurgon" 0+ nine0080

In order not to clutter up landfills, old things can be recycled, donated to charity, found a new owner or sold to a collector. The free social service "EcoVurgon" can help with this: service employees will take things out of your house, restore them and send them to animal shelters, nursing homes, orphanages, monasteries. Here we are sure that for every unnecessary thing there is a person who needs it!

nine0079 Notice boards

On the sites "Avito", "From hand to hand" and other well-known sites, you can place ads for the sale of unnecessary things. If you do not need payment, check out Daru Dar. Children's things are often distributed on the services of Deti.Mail.ru, Baby.ru and other similar sites. Please note that the lower the price you set, the higher the chance to empty the shelves sooner. However, despite this, it may take quite a long time until a real buyer is found. nine0009

Swaps in Moscow 0+ nine0073 Do not throw away, change

Tired of your clothes, books, dishes and cosmetics? Dozens of people have the same problem - that's why they came up with swaps. The most environmentally friendly, and you can also find cool vintage and exclusive rarities.

Freemarkets nine0080

At freemarkets, all buyers are real and ready to exchange your unwanted dress for boots or a handbag. The main thing is to be able to agree. It is most convenient to follow such events in the Freemarkets of Moscow group. In some second-hand stores, exchange is also practiced. You bring your old things and in return choose something from the available assortment. But there may be certain restrictions concerning, for example, the proportionality of things. It is better to find out the features of the exchange in advance.

nine0079 Charity shops

This is a great chance to get rid of unnecessary things and do a good deed. Charity shops like the Joy Shop or the Charity Shop work in a similar way: they take things in good condition and then sell them at low prices to those who really need them. The money raised usually also goes to charity. nine0009

Clothes collection points

Perhaps the most convenient way to give things to those in need is to leave them in special boxes that can be found in different parts of the city. So, at the moment, a number of reception points and containers of the Good Things project are operating in Moscow. Not only clothes and shoes are accepted, but also stationery, educational materials, books, games and gifts for children from orphanages. nine0009

Public organizations

Well-known organizations such as the Salvation Army regularly organize collections of items, which are then given to homeless people, low-income families and families with many children. By the way, not only things are accepted. On official websites or in groups on social networks, information regularly appears about what kind of help is especially needed now. nine0009

temples

In many churches there are organized places for receiving clothes and food, which are then distributed to those in need. But clothes are not accepted everywhere. If you decide to take something to the nearest temple, it is better to find out all the necessary information in advance. Perhaps things will need to be pre-sorted, not to mention the fact that they will need to be washed and put in order. nine0009

Funds

Funds accept clothes, shoes, bed linen, dishes and other items. You can contact the Mercy Foundation, Russian Birch, Volunteers to Help Orphans, the Perspektiva Center, the Creation Foundation, the Friends of the Community of St. Egidius movement. Things for the elderly will be happy in the funds "Sofia" and "Old Age in Joy". Medicines, hygiene products, clothing and food can also be brought to the Doctor Liza Foundation. nine0009

Free pickup

If you want to get rid of unnecessary things, but do not want to spend time sorting and transporting them to collection points, you can order the removal of things directly from your apartment or garage. Special projects are working in Moscow, for example, "Dump", which will independently and free of charge take away clothes, toys, old household appliances, and furniture. You can leave a request for the export of things directly on the site. Another project - "Give away things" - gives part of the collected clothes, household items and accessories for sale (this way it turns out to recoup transportation costs), and distributes the rest among the poor, orphanages and baby houses. nine0009

State points of social assistance

Some population groups need regular help and support. These are homeless, low-income families, the elderly, the disabled and just people who find themselves in a difficult life situation. Social assistance organizations provide targeted assistance to them. They, in turn, are always ready to accept help from caring people. We need not only money, but also medicines, clothing, food and just the participation of volunteers. nine0009

Thrift stores

Do not forget about the existence of thrift stores if you want to get rid of unnecessary things and get some benefit from it. Do you think that your clothes can still serve someone and look good on the counter? In the commission, for a small fee, they will accept for sale everything that the former owner does not need. For example, the Pioneer store will display your items not only in its showcases, but also on online trading platforms. The Mamantin store specializes in used children's clothes. Toys, shoes, strollers, clothes and much more will be accepted here. They are ready to give the money right away, and if you are not satisfied with the proposed ransom amount, you can give the goods for a commission. nine0009
