Destash Trade
I hear it from friends all the time: "I have so much fabric and none of it is inspiring anymore! I want to make new items without the stash I've been staring at for the last several years, but what do I do with my existing collection?" The Morose Bee is here to solve that problem! Similar to a resale clothing shop or supply swap program, you can send your supplies to The Morose Bee in exchange for cash or store credit to shop for updated supplies that make you eager to create! All payouts are made via Paypal.
**AT THIS TIME I AM ONLY ACCEPTING ITEMS FOR STORE CREDIT. Join the e-mail list to be notified of when payouts will return.
Search through your stash and pack up your like-new supplies to mail to us. Don't forget to include a Destash Trade Form. From the time that we receive your Destash Trade box, we will process it within 2-4 weeks. A fully itemized notice will be sent to you indicating what we are accepting and your amount of payout or store credit. You must include a valid e-mail address. Your store credit will never expire. Shop for amazing new products that make you feel inspired!
What do you take?
I take any fabric, notions, books, patterns, and general sewing supplies that are in good condition with no signs of odor, pet fur, stains, or other issue that lowers the quality of the material. Partial materials such as odd cuts of fabric or half used spools of thread are acceptable but will lower the credit given for the item.
How much store credit do you give?
Payout or credit varies based on quality of items, market demand, seasonal variation, and existing inventory. Credit is non-negotiable and non-transferable. We offer 50% of the assigned retail value in store credit. Additionally, we may offer up to $18 in credit for the customer's shipping cost. Specific prices cannot be guaranteed up front, but you are welcome to e-mail any questions to themorosebee@gmail.com.
Some general guidelines (subject to change without notice):
Standard cotton fabric- $8 yard retail value/ $4 in store credit
Uncut sewing patterns- $4 retail value/ $2 in store credit
Zippers- $1 retail value/ $0.50 in store credit
Standard poly all purpose thread- $2 retail value/ $1 store credit
Do you send my items back if you don't accept them for trade?
If you would like your unaccepted items returned, there is a place to indicated that on your Destash Trade Form. The Morose Bee offers Destash Return for a $12 fee. This fee will be deducted from your total trade-in value. If you do not add Destash Return to your Trade From, The Morose Bee will not return unaccepted items. The Morose Bee reserves the right to sell or otherwise dispose of any unaccepted items in its sole discretion.
I don't have anything to trade. Can I just shop?
Absolutely! The store is always open and no trade-in or credit is required!
