Consignment Policy -- May Court Nearly New Shop
Consignment Policy & Pricing
Payment Policy – We are proud to announce that we offer more to the consignee than most consignment stores.
- The Consignor will receive 50% of the selling price if the item is sold within the 30-day consignment period.
- All Consignors must complete and sign a Consignor Agreement prior to their first consignment. The Consignor Agreement sets our terms and conditions related to consigning items.
- Only unsold items priced at $50 or more are eligible for return to the Consignor.
- The May Court Nearly New Shop is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
General Consignment Policy Information – Please Read
- Upon inspection, items will be priced by Nearly New Shop volunteers with input from the consignor.
- Items are consigned for a 30-day period. The End Date is printed on your Consigned Items summary form receipt. Make note of that date.
- Items may be removed from the floor if they are found to be unacceptable at a later date. (sometimes our staff may miss stains, etc.) You will be notified by phone to pick up your item.
- Items not sold within the 30 day consignment period become property of The Nearly New Shop. After the initial 30-day consignment period, prices are reduced by 50% and profits of all sold items go to supported charities and our Scholarship Program.
If you have any questions, please contact the May Court Nearly New Shop.

ABOUT US
The May Court Club of Oakville is part of The Association of May Court Clubs of Canada, which was the first service club in Canada, founded in 1898 on the eve of May Day in Ottawa, Ontario. May Court’s founder, Lady Isabel Aberdeen, the wife of Canada’s then Governor General, was a truly extraordinary woman.
