Is your account up to date?
Please make sure we have the correct
phone number to reach you and for
account balance checking!
The correct address to mail you a check!

New at bringing boxes and bags? 

When bringing in a container we ask that you PLEASE
have ALL your items safely contained . 
(Remember we do our best to allow you to bring in every-other week.......always check our schedule.)

*If using a  white  13 gal. bag - please tie it.  
*If using a box  (14" w x 16" tall x 20" deep)
- fold it shut or have things down within sides.
Items that fall out of boxes/bags are "lost"....we do not know who they belong to. 
FYI: we move your container 3 times before processing.
(From check-in rack to shelves...from shelves to rolling cart....from rolling cart to process table.)

ALL ITEMS BROUGHT TO BE SOLD SHOULD BE CLEAN, NO HOLES, TEARS,
SOMETHING NICE THAT SOMEONE WILL WANT TO PAY MONEY FOR.

IF YOU HAVE WORN-OUT UNSELLABLE ITEMS, THERE ARE RECYCLE PLACES TO DONATE TO.....   THANKS.
(keep in mind we will service charge accounts that bring excessive amounts of unsellable items - see our contract.)  

IDEA:  Next time buying groceries...buy a box of the 13 gallon kitchen bags - white only. 
Make them your "Bear Market bags". 
Note:
We do NOT like the Force Flex (expansion) bags - our sticky
labels do not stick well to them and your account # can get lost.

Checking your balance on-line:
Recently a consignor complained that the balance is not up-to-date.

The balance date is a week old because you cannot collect
any money until items have been sold for a week.
(This allows the buying customer to receive a refund.)


Sometimes the computer balances do get behind because
we have to enter them manually daily.  





CAUTION:
We do NOT recommend checking your account balance on public computers.
Our employees are trained to ask for photo identity before paying
out any type of funds or allowing any type of account changes.
But, we still ask YOU to help us protect your information. 


*Always bring your photo I.D. when coming to do any of the following:
check-in a container or items
collect money
change address/phone/account information
to receive print-outs or any information about your items.
write a check for purchases.


Be sure to ask for your items back (that we will not display) if
you DO NOT want them donated.
*keep in mind that if we DO display your item but
it does not sell, we will donate it.
(This is true for all consigned items.)
IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT THESE RULES PLEASE GO BACK AND READ THE CONTRACT .


If you have furniture you want to sell -
Phone the day you can actually deliver the furniture and ask about space.

Furniture space is promised on a daily basis.....
we will NOT hold space for long periods of time for anyone.

Due to more and more competitive furniture stores opening up in the Lake Area, prices at Bear Market have to be more competitive too.



IDEA:  Suggest shopping at Bear Market to neighbors, friends and even tourists - they might purchase something you brought in to sell!

WE DO NOT TAKE   LARGE FLOOR MODEL EXERCISE EQUIPMENT
BUT SMALLER SHELF ITEMS WE DO
