Elden Seller Guide

Welcome to Elden Preloved Market! We’re excited to have you! Your booth is your opportunity to create a clean, curated mini boutique that attracts shoppers and drives sales.

First-Time Seller Guarantee

We want you to feel confident selling with us.

If your 60% commission does not exceed your booth rental fee, Elden will cover the difference on your first booking.

Requirements:
• Follow setup and takedown schedule
• Participate in at least one 50% discount period during your rental
• Applies to first-time sellers only

What to Bring

• Freshly laundered clothing and preloved/like-new items
• Clean shoes, accessories, handbags, and home decor
• Optional: small displays or bins to keep smaller items together
• Extra inventory for restocking

Item Standards

All items must be:
• Clean and odor-free
• In good condition (no stains, holes, excessive pilling)
• Seasonally appropriate

Elden reserves the right to remove items that do not meet store standards.

Pricing Strategy (THIS MATTERS MOST)

Price to sell, not to store.

• Most successful items are priced 20–60% of retail
• High-end brands can price higher if condition supports it
• If it wouldn’t sell quickly online, it likely won’t sell here

Competitive pricing = higher sell-through = more money

What Sells Best

• Athleisure (Lululemon, Nike, Alo, fp Movement)
• Denim (Levi’s, Agolde, Madewell, Abercrombie, etc.)
• Dresses (seasonal, casual, event, resortwear — we are in Virginia Beach!)
• Neutral basics + trendy pieces
• Accessories (bags, hats, jewelry)
• All the vintage goodies

Booth Setup Tips

Create a mini boutique experience:

• Keep it clean and organized
• Face all hangers the same direction
• Group similar items together
• Avoid overcrowding

Think curated — not cluttered

Tagging & Labels

• All items must be properly tagged and stickered
• Pricing must be clearly visible
• Follow Elden’s tagging system and placement

Restocking

You may restock during your rental period. Don’t forget to check in and out with our front desk when you arrive.

Full booths sell better than empty ones.

Important Policies

• Booth rentals are paid in full and non-refundable
• Elden is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged items
• Unsold items must be picked up within 48 hours
• Items left after 7 days may be donated or become store property

How to Maximize Your Sales

• Bring your best items…not leftovers. Think about whether it would be an item you’d feel comfortable purchasing again.
• Refresh your booth through your rental period or if you notice items aren’t selling.
• Promote your booth on social media often and share with friend’s and family.
• Price competitively from the start, especially if you plan to discount later in the week.

Pro Tip

Shoppers buy what looks good first.
Presentation + pricing = EVERYTHING.
