Standard Sell:  The consignor preps and prices their items using the free, online tagging system. 

Earn: 60% minus a $10 consignor fee and opportunity to shop early.  Volunteers can make up to 80%, and consignor fees can be discounted if paid in advance.  (More details can be found on website.)

Valet Sell:    Have JBF tag their items.  Once items are tagged they can be sold at any JBF sale across the nation for two years.

Earn:  60% minus a $15 consignor fee and per tag fees and have opportunity to shop early.

 JBF On Demand Sell:  Sellers can get rid of their unwanted items right away.  JBF will review and purchase clean, gently loved items in bulk at garage sale prices.

SHOPPING:  Parents that shop the event will find many items they need to raise a family, from maternity to teen. Bargains range from clothing, toys, electronics, books, baby equipment, furniture and more – typically priced 50 to 90 percent off retail.

 There will be several presales held on Friday May 13.  For a full schedule and more information on how to obtain a free pass for general admission, please go to our website HERE.

 SAFETY:  We place great emphasis on the safety of our shoppers and consignors. That is why we are the only franchisor in the industry to employ a Safety and Recall Specialist. Our specialist works closely with the Consumer Product Safety Commission to bring the latest and most accurate information to you. Just Between Friends tracks recalls and inspects items at its events – pulling any recalled items off the sales floor.

GIVING BACK: For the first sale in May, 2016, Lake Norman Just Between Friends is partnering with MiraVia - which is a safe haven and source of hope for pregnant mothers and their children. MiraVia offers a College Maternity Residence for pregnant college students providing room and board for both mother and baby as well as an Outreach Center for women to come and receive professional assistance and material donations both during pregnancy and after their baby is born, free of charge.  Lake Norman JBF is donating unsold items to the charity.
