PLEASE round price to end in '5' or '0'
EXAMPLE RETAIL PRICING: 
if you want $7.00 for an item, multiply by 1.429 = 10.003
SO... the tag would read $10.00
when it sells at $10, you get 10 * 70% = $7
- OR -
if you want $45 for an item, multiply by 1.429 = 64.305
- SO... the tag would read $64.30

when it sells at $64.30, you get 64.30 * 70% = $45.01,
​but there are no pennies.. so, $45



​Thanks for trusting us with your wares. 

We'd have no store without great products from great folks like you!

    By submitting this form, you agree to the terms of the Consignment Agreement:

    your personal name, please
    if applicable
    mailing address for you / your company - apologies that the form is in american - insert canadian postal code and province as applicable. thanks
    if you have any queries or issues with the agreement, we can discuss them. Please email consecon.tMM@gmail.com if answers might preclude you accepting this agreement. Otherwise, submit the form and smaller items can be discussed before we inventory stock in. Thanks,
    If you select "Yes, With Restrictions" please indicate the details in the comments box Also note, that promotion might be in store, online, in print, etc. Selecting yes does not guarantee specific promotional coverage of your wares.
    While we do not currently sell online, we have been talking about the option for years - if you'd be interested in this opportunity, we'd have a clear and separate agreement - selection here does not lock you in to online sales with us and it does not guarantee that your items would be selected for our online sales.
    Now that you're making an inventory list - here's some help. It's also something that will be easy to update as sales happen through the season. Thanks !
