J.M.
A. and others,
I'm happy to not have seen a lot of unhappy people talking about JBF since I co-own the Fort Worth sale! I hope your experience with us is great - or with whichever JBF you are consigning at. We try so hard to make it a good experience for everyone, but sometimes outside factors can really rock our apple cart. Hopefully we have anticipated all those problems and learned from our mistakes in the past. We put tons of hours into planning the sale each season.
On the clothing racks at Drop Off, we will have a very limited number of rolling racks (we have 10 - used to have 12 but 2 actually got stolen from us at the last sale) but they are in high demand - so that's why we encourage you to get your own if that is really important to you. Sometimes, you have to wait for one to become available. They definitely make Drop Off easier, but they are not necessary. I guess the more things you have, the more valuable they become.
On your shoes, I suggest you just bring your best because people just will not buy shoes if they aren't in pretty good condition. You are welcome to bring as many pair as you wish. I ALWAYS shop for shoes at the sale because they can be really expensive, so I'm always happy to see lots of shoes to choose from.
Good luck as you prepare for the sale. It really is a fun event and if you have plans to come to the Fort Worth sale, be sure to say 'hi'!
J.
