Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Consignment Work?
All new consignments begin with an approval process. We recommend submitting a photo via email or scheduling a preview of your items. Our staff will determine which items are suitable for consignment and make recommendations on a mutually agreeable price points. Once an item has been approved, it is time to schedule delivery and complete a contract.
The consignment contract has a 60-day term. Upon sale of an item, it is a 50/50 split between the consignor and the shop. All items that have not sold within a 60-day period can be picked up, discounted for clearance, or donated.
Previews
If you do not have a digital camera to submit items for approval, we recommend that you bring in a traditional photo or schedule a preview with one of our staff members. Our staff is willing to schedule private furniture previews for estates or multiple items. There is a minimal fee of $25 for this service.
Pick Up & Delivery
We have several delivery services, which we can refer in order to assist you with your pick-ups and deliveries. Please let us know if you need assistance transporting your items.
Do You Negotiate Prices?
Our staff has a collective experience of over 15 years in the resale business. Our pricing is highly accurate and reflects current market trends and resale standards. It is in our best interest to fairly represent both our consignors and shop’s interest by having competitive pricing that discourages haggling.
Do Your Mark Items Down?
There is not an automatic mark down built into the price of an item. Only items that have been in the showroom for over 30 days are subject to a 10-15% sale price in order to create interest in the item.
Will You Just Buy My Furniture?
In certain cases, direct buy out is an option. If you think your item may be a candidate for this program, please contact us to schedule a preview of your item. In many cases estates, downsizing homes, model homes or individual up-scale pieces qualify for direct buyouts.
