Volunteer Barter


We understand that not everyone is able to work a volunteer shift during the sale. We have come up with several bartering options so everyone can participate as a volunteer and get to shop early! If bartering is an option you would like, you can earn a 4 or 8 hour Presale pass and 70% profit, if you're a consignor.
Get upgraded to a 12 hour Presale pass by volunteering a shift.
