Homeschool Potpourri is a
full service consignment store. We help homeschoolers to find the
curriculum they need at prices they can afford.
If you’re like most homeschoolers you have curriculum that you
bought but never used for one reason or another, or you have things you’re
done with because all your children have passed that grade level.
Instead of these things gathering dust on your shelves, you could let us
sell them for you and use the money to purchase the curriculum you need,
or get cash.

Most of the books and supplies
in the Homeschool Potpourri
are here on consignment.
We appreciate our many consignees across the country, and have worked to
keep our consignment program simple and easy. Here’s how it works:
Bring in your consignment materials
Tuesday thru Thursday between 10:30 AM and 4:30 PM and place them on
our consignment check-in counter. Please do not leave until we tell
you what books we can use, or the items we don’t use will be
considered abandoned and will be disposed of.
We
will never take COPIED materials which break copyright laws.
Our staff will look through the books and decide
what we will be able to resell. Our criteria is based on age and
condition of the materials, and what is currently in stock.
If you are a new consignee we will need
you to fill out an index card
with your name,
address, phone number, and email address, and birthdate. (We send out
a birthday discount coupon via email). Our helpful staff will be
happy to get you a blank card. If you’re mailing in your books, be
sure to enclose a card in each box.
If you are a returning consignee, you may ask a
clerk for your number and find out what your balance is by telling
them your phone number. If you send a request for your balance
by email always include your phone number.
Your items will be promptly priced and placed on
our shelves and as they sell,
40%
of the selling price will be
automatically posted to your consignment account. We do
NOT
track how many items you brought to
us or what the items are, so if you want this information you will
need to keep your own list. We can tell you how many items have sold
in the history of your account.
Our consignees often use their credit for the
purchase of homeschool materials, so we do not automatically send out
checks. You may call us or email
books@homeschoolpotpourri.com
at any time to find out your current
balance. You may request a check, and we will send it out at our next
scheduled check run. This is done once every month or two
months depending upon the time of the year. There is a $ .50
charge for each check sent. If you stop by the store, you may use your credit
to purchase items.
If you are mailing your items in, remember to send
us a list FIRST by email or fax, and we will tell you what we
can use.
Remember to
enclose a 3 x 5 card with your name, address, phone number, and email
address in EACH box, and keep your shipping
inexpensive (post office media mail is best) because we do not
reimburse you for your shipping costs.
If you want confirmation that we
received your books, enclose a self-addressed, stamped postcard which we can
return letting you know we received your shipment.
Thank you!
Note: We reserve the right to donate unsold items when
we deem them as not likely to sell.
