FAQ's

Moving Miss Daisy’s Consignment & Auction House is the largest consignment and auction house in three counties, with over 20,000 square feet of showroom and auction space. Our professional photographers ensure your items look their best, both in-store and online.

We use advanced systems to track your inventory and provide online account access. Our marketing spans social media, TV, print, and platforms like Google, Maps, and TripAdvisor.

We accept single items through entire estates, and our location is at the former Sears building in La Cumbre Plaza: 3845 State Street, Santa Barbara CA 93110.

We accept items in excellent condition that are current in style and of broad interest, including:

• Furniture, wall décor, lighting, rugs, home décor
• China, crystal, seasonal items
• Authentic designer bags, jewelry, perfume, sunglasses

We sell furniture, art, rugs, lighting, décor, collectibles, and more. Every piece is carefully curated for quality and style.

Our standard consignment term is 50 days, with a 10-day grace period for pickup of unsold items. Approved items may receive a 30-day extension, for a total of up to 90 days.

We research, price, photograph, and market your items, reaching out to appraisers when needed.

Yes. Email photos to info@movingmissdaisy.com. If approved, we’ll send your consignor ID, fillable contract, mover link, and scheduling link. Please allow 48 hours for a response.

Deliveries are accepted Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday mornings by appointment. Use the scheduling link provided after approval. If you have an urgent need, call the store and we will try to accommodate you.

Our booking portal fills quickly. If you don’t see availability, check back later. New slots open regularly for Wed/Thu/Sun mornings.

Items enter inventory as space allows. The 50-day term starts only once your item is placed for sale. Large categories like furniture, wall décor, chandeliers, and rugs may take longer. Contract extensions may be granted if needed.

Prices reduce 10% every 10 days. We may consider reasonable offers after the first 10 days, but all pricing decisions remain at our sole discretion.

If items are returned due to style, demand, or condition, you’ll be notified by email. You’ll have 7 days to pick them up, or they can be donated. Pre-approved items with undisclosed damage may be forfeited.

After your 50-day contract ends (plus 10-day grace period), you may pick up unsold items. Please call 48 hours ahead so our team can prepare them. Consignors are responsible for tracking expiration dates in their online account.
