Configure Your Entire Sale in Minutes-Not Hours
Consignment Helper's Complete Sale Builder puts every setting in one place. Event dates, registration windows, fee structures, item limits, category rules, drop-off schedules-configure it all from a single screen. Clone last season's sale and adjust only what's changed, or build from scratch with guided setup.
The Challenge: Scattered Settings Across Multiple Systems
Planning a consignment sale means juggling dozens of decisions. When should registration open? How much should you charge consignors? What categories will you accept? How many items per consignor? Which days and hours will the sale run?
With spreadsheets and separate tools, these settings live in different places. Your fee structure is in one document, your schedule is in another, your category rules are in a third. When something needs to change, you're hunting through files trying to remember where you stored each piece.
- ✗Scattered information - Settings spread across emails, documents, and spreadsheets.
- ✗No single source of truth - Which version of the fee structure is current?
- ✗Repetitive work - Recreating the same settings from scratch each season.
- ✗Easy to miss details - Forgetting to update one setting breaks the whole flow.
The Complete Sale Builder centralizes everything in one intuitive interface.
How the Sale Builder Works
Guided configuration that walks you through every decision.
Basic Details
Name your sale, set the location, define your sale dates and hours. The foundation everything else builds on.
Registration Settings
When does registration open and close? How many consignors will you accept? What fees do you charge? Set it all here.
Item Rules
Define accepted categories, pricing guidelines, item limits per consignor, and quality requirements.
Review & Launch
Preview everything, make final adjustments, and publish your sale. Registration opens automatically at your scheduled time.
Sale Builder Capabilities
Every setting you need, organized logically in one place.
Flexible Date Configuration
Multi-day sales, single-day events, or weekend-only schedules. Set different hours for each day. Add presale events for volunteers and VIPs.
Customizable Fee Structure
Registration fees, consignment percentages, early shopping passes-configure any combination. Fees calculate automatically in consignor payouts.
Category Management
Define which item categories you accept. Set suggested price ranges per category. Consignors see exactly what's allowed during item entry.
Item Limits
Set maximum items per consignor to manage inventory. Apply limits overall or by category-"max 10 toys per seller" keeps any one category from being overwhelmed.
Clone Previous Sales
Start with last season's settings and tweak what's changed. No rebuilding from scratch-your proven configuration carries forward automatically.
Preview Mode
See exactly what consignors will experience before you launch. Test the registration flow, review confirmation emails, verify fee calculations.
Real-World Example: Setting Up the Fall Sale
Jennifer runs two consignment sales per year for her MOPS group. Setting up the fall sale used to take a full weekend-updating spreadsheets, sending emails to her committee about dates, recreating the fee structure document.
Now she opens Consignment Helper, clicks "Clone" on the spring sale, and updates three things: the dates, the venue address, and the registration window. Everything else-categories, fees, volunteer requirements, item limits-stays exactly the same.
She clicks Preview to make sure the registration page looks right, then hits Publish. The sale is live and accepting registrations in under 15 minutes.
Result: Weekend of setup work reduced to 15 minutes. Same quality outcome, fraction of the effort.
