** Tips & Info for re-sellers and swappers: **
*Acceptable items: Good condition items with their original packaging or well-labeled and sealed packaging. Good condition accessories, fabrics like chiffons and cheesecloth, drapes, etc. Clean formalwear and gowns accepted. Everything must be well-labeled and organized by type in their respective categories. Sorry, paper and plastic plates, flatware, and cups will not be accepted.
*Community Tables: (See floor plan map): We will have community tables out with spaces labeled for certain item categories. We will also have two to three garment racks for those wanting to swap, give away, or sell formal wear and gowns. The community tables are for those who are able to properly label items and place out for display and collection during the main event hours. (Think of it in the same way a clothing or book swap works).
*Label your items: Please make sure your items are labeled and are properly packaged. If you are hoping to sell an item placed out on the community swapping tables, please make sure to bring a crate or basket for each type of item, and properly label it with your contact information and Venmo, Zelle, or Paypal information so people can purchase the item. Nothing larger than what can fit into a laundry basket sized space, please. You must supply all crates, totes, or basket needed to hold your items.
*Cash is key - how to transact: Expect most people to want to use cash over Venmo, PayPal, or Zelle. I would recommend making a change purse or a lockbox with about $50-80 in small bills up to $20 denomination. Those mini accordion organizer envelopes people usually use for coupons are awesome. Count your cash before and after the swap. We will not make change for you at the bar. Have a sign printed and on your table (if you reserved a table) that is easy to read with your Venmo, Zelle, Paypal, or Cash App info. Haggling for items is perfectly acceptable.
*Setup time: Load in and set up is from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm on Friday May 29th or from 10:00 am - 11:00 am on Saturday, May 30th. Allow yourself at least 30 minutes for setup, more if you have a lot of items to sell or trade (for example if you have reserved a table space). There is an elevator in the lobby to help you access our space (on the second floor). Make sure to bring everything you need to make your table stand out including a colorful table covering, rolling garment rack, and some sort of display, rack, crate or box to organize and elevate your items. Those little teacher wagons are great for bringing your stuff up from your car. Resellers arriving after the swap have started, will not be allowed to sell, and will not receive a refund. Don't be late!
*Pricing & Keeping track: Expect people to not want to buy anything that is readily available on the current market for more than 20% less than current Amazon or online prices. Expect to haggle, trade, and make deals. Reduce your prices more for damaged or worn items, or what many resellers may have in stock. Disclose or label anything with missing pieces. Before you come to the swap to sell, make a list of all the items you are selling and print it out. Note your asking, low-end (basement) and a blank/trade column next to each listing to help you keep track. If you sell one, mark how much you sold it for on the list. Rae Loft is not responsible for lost, stolen, or missing items.
*Auction: Use the stage as a platform to auction any of your specialty items live - be the center of the action! Each auction (max 5 items) may last no more than 10 minutes. Plan ahead! Sign up onsite only.
Rae Loft is located at 2222 NE Oregon Street, Ste. 207, Portland, OR 97232
*Free street parking available for unlimited amounts of time. Do not park long term in the 15 minute loading zones.
*Our facility is ADA accessible. We offer an elevator and ramp.
*All ages. No outside beverages. (We have a full bar and plenty of non-alcoholic options).
