Which Selling Option is Right for You?
Consigning with us isn’t one-size-fits-all. We offer four flexible paths to fit your items, timeline, and goals.
Understanding the Consignment Experience
As a premium consignment showroom, our team handles research, pricing, photography, listings, scheduled markdowns every 10 days, customer service, and buyer premiums. Your final payout depends on item value, buyer demand, competition, and sale price. That’s why we provide multiple options—so you can choose the path that feels right.
Your 4 Selling Options
1) Traditional Consignment Maximize Return
Ideal if you want the highest potential payout and can wait for the right buyer.
- Deliver items to us (or hire movers at your expense).
- Sold through our showroom and online channels.
- We handle photography, pricing, listings, and marketing.
- Automatic markdowns every 10 days to keep inventory moving.
- You earn 40–50% of the final sale price (based on item value).
- Payouts issued within 6 weeks of item expiration.
This is a partnership: you are the consignor; we are the consignee.
2) Outright Purchase (Dealer Buyout) Fastest & Easiest
