The Repeat Rider - Consignment
The Repeat Rider is always taking in merchandise on consignment.
Here are some guidelines to help you decide on what to bring in.
The only item we DO NOT ACCEPT ARE RIDING HELMETS, no matter what the condition. Helmets are designed for single impact only.
Since we are not equipped to test the integrity of a helmet (done by x-ray), we cannot guarantee a used helmet’s safety.
If you feel your helmet may be damaged and the warranty, if any, is still valid, send it back to the manufacturer to have examined.
If damaged it may be replaced.
Riding Boots | Tack | Blankets | Saddles | Miscellaneous | Policy
CLOTHING
We accept most riding clothes.We ask that before bringing any clothing in, it be washed or dry cleaned.
Cleaning charges will apply if we need to send anything out to be dry-cleaned.
Clothes should be free of holes and in wearable condition.
If there is some pilling or slight staining on clothing (such as breeches), this is okay but will result in the item being listed “as is” and therefore having a lower selling price.
Clothing may consist of breeches, jods, chaps, blouses (with collars), show jackets, etc. You may also bring in sweatshirts, t-shirts, ball caps, outerwear, etc as long as it has a horse theme or is often found in the equestrian world (like oilskin jackets).
Any clothing we receive that we feel is not suitable for sale will be donated to charity.
RIDING BOOTS
When bringing in boots, please make sure they are riding boots.If we receive boots that we deem unsafe for riding they will be labeled as such or donated to charity if we do not feel they are saleable.
All boots should be clean and polished – remembering not to polish the inside leg (part closest to the horse) of a field or dress boot.
Field and lace up paddock boots should have laces that are in good shape. If we have to replace the laces, a fee will be deducted from your account.
Rubber and vinyl boots should also be clean of any barn debris.
Cleaning charges may be deducted from your account if we have to clean badly soiled boots. top
Tack
We take all kinds of tack.Tack should be cleaned and oiled if needed.
There should be no breaks in the leather.
All items should be in useable condition.
Bridles should have all parts intact and can be brought in with or without reins or bits.
Saddle pads and horse boots should be cleaned and free of as much horsehair as possible.
Polos and stable bandages should be rolled properly. top
Blankets
Before bringing in horse blankets or sheets they should be professionally cleaned and repaired to receive a good price for them.If rips and tears are small and repairable, the blanket will be sold “as is” with a lower price. If the damage is large, the blanket will be donated to a charity (they can repair and keep) or thrown out.
Blankets brought in dirty may be subject to a cleaning charge that will be deducted from the account. top
Saddles
Due to space restrictions, saddles are taken at discretion.Leathers, irons and girths may be sold separately from the saddle.
We will not accept any saddle with a broken tree.
Please clean the saddle and remove any nameplates you wish to keep. We will not remove the plate at the store – you must do this yourself. top
Miscellaneous
We will also accept toys, games, gift items and books as long as they have a horse theme. For example: books written by Dick Francis are okay because his stories are based around the horse environment.All should be in good shape and toys should be intact. Puzzles and games should have all their pieces and parts. top
Our consignment policy
Anyone bringing in merchandise to put on consignment must read and sign an inventory contract. Persons under the age of 19 must have a parent read and sign the contract for them.Commission is 50% of the selling price on all items excluding saddles.
Commission on saddles is 25% of the selling price.
We price the items and base the selling price on the condition of the item.
Consignment period is ONE YEAR, unless you are in regular contact with us and/or keep the account active.
The price of an item may be reduced at the discretion of The Repeat Rider.
Any items remaining in the store on an inactive account after ONE YEAR become the property of The Repeat Rider as well as any unclaimed monies.
Most unsold items are donated to charity within the equestrian community.
If you have any questions about what we accept on consignment please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be more then happy to help you.
