Charitable consignment, Self-Service, No Upfront Pickup Costs, and Full-Service / Estate.

New Sliding Commission Scale

Your share is determined by each item's actual final selling price.

Clearer Expiration Rules

A 50-day selling period, 10-day retrieval grace period, and defined provisions for unclaimed merchandise.

Read the transition policy.

Our Community Commitment

Giving Back Is Part of Who We Are

At Miss Daisy's, we believe a successful business should also serve its community.

Before exploring your consignment choices, we'd like to introduce two programs that reflect that commitment.

Consign for a Cause

Give your belongings a second life. Give your community something more.

Let Miss Daisy's do the work while your quality furnishings support a charitable organization you care about.

From qualifying complimentary pickup to professional inventory documentation, merchandising, and sales, we make giving back easier.

Discover Consign for a Cause

Safe Moves for Seniors

Helping low-income seniors move safely and with dignity.

Our charitable initiative helps qualifying seniors who cannot afford professional moving and downsizing assistance.

01 | Your Choices

Four Ways to Consign

Every service option is subject to advance merchandise review and acceptance. Special arrangements must be documented and approved.

1

Consign for a Cause

Let our team handle the detailed inventory documentation, professional resale preparation, marketing, and sales.

Qualifying local pickup is provided at no charge. Larger collections may be considered for an onsite visit.

Your designated charity benefits from qualifying sales. There is no personal consignor payout under this option.

Explore all program benefits.

2

Self-Service Consignment

Submit photographs, dimensions, descriptions, and condition information through Circle-Hand.

Arrange and pay for your own delivery.

We research, price, display, market, and sell accepted merchandise.

You receive the applicable self-service percentage.

3

Self-Service: No Upfront Pickup Costs

Prepare your own submissions and coordinate transportation directly with our independent moving partner, Pete's Superior Moving.

After you approve the quote, Moving Miss Daisy advances authorized transportation charges.

That amount appears as a negative balance in your consignor account and is recovered from participating sales.

Pickup is deferred, not free.

4

Full-Service / Estate Consignment

Designed for estates, larger collections, and clients who prefer professional documentation.

Qualifying properties may be eligible for an onsite visit.

Our team photographs, measures, describes, and catalogs accepted merchandise for you.

Your consignor share is 10 percentage points below the equivalent self-service tier.

Transportation and specialized services are separately arranged and priced.

Back to Top
02 | Financial Terms

Sliding Commission Schedule

Your percentage is based on each item's actual final merchandise selling price , after discounts and excluding sales tax and separately charged services.

Final Selling Price Self-Service: You Receive Full-Service: You Receive
Under $100 25% 15%
$100–$499.99 35% 25%
$500–$2,499.99 40% 30%
$2,500–$4,999.99 50% 40%
$5,000 and above 60% 50%

No Buyer's Premium on New Consignments.

The former 25% buyer's premium has been eliminated for merchandise accepted under this agreement beginning November 10, 2026.

Previously accepted merchandise retains its original provisions, where applicable.

The Final Selling Price Sets the Tier

We may initially assign a provisional tier using the approved listing price.

Before payout, we verify the actual sale amount and apply the corresponding final tier.

For example, a self-service item listed at $595 initially falls within the 40% tier.

If it sells for $450, the final percentage becomes 35%, producing a $157.50 consignor share before authorized deductions.

The remaining percentage is retained by Miss Daisy's as its selling commission.

Consign for a Cause follows its separate charitable arrangement.

03 | The Item Journey

How Consignment Works

1. Register & Submit

Create your Circle-Hand account, accept the terms, and provide item details according to your selected service.

2. Review & Acceptance

We evaluate condition, market demand, resale potential, and available space.

3. Delivery & Check-In

Arrange approved delivery or pickup. We inspect merchandise on arrival.

4. Research & Pricing

Our team evaluates comparable sales, condition, and demand before final management approval.

5. Display & Marketing

Merchandise is presented in our Santa Barbara showroom and, when appropriate, online.

6. Sale or Expiration

We record sales, determine final payouts, and manage unsold merchandise under the agreement.

Our physical showroom and online catalog are two selling platforms supported by one inventory system.

Online exposure does not include in-house shipping.

Back to Top
04 | Pricing

Research, Pricing & Markdowns

Miss Daisy's establishes asking prices using comparable sales, condition, maker, provenance where relevant, demand, and local marketability.

Scheduled markdowns generally occur at 10% intervals every 10 days.

Authorized offers may affect the final selling price.

Ticket prices generally end in .95. Approved exceptions may apply.

Pricing and markdown authority remains with Miss Daisy's.

Review Your Consignor Portal.

Contact us promptly about any concerns regarding photographs, descriptions, item details, or pricing.

05 | Transportation

Merchandise Requirements & Delivery

Merchandise must be clean, odor-free, safe, and suitable for resale.

Approval from photographs is preliminary. Final acceptance follows physical inspection.

Self-Service Delivery

You arrange and pay for transportation. You or your mover must place accepted merchandise inside the showroom where directed.

Miss Daisy's employees are not ordinarily available to unload merchandise.

Deferred Pickup Costs

Under Option 3, you arrange transportation directly with Pete's Superior Moving, an independent provider.

Pete provides the quote, which you must approve before scheduling. Additional charges require advance authorization.

Moving Miss Daisy advances the approved pickup expense.

It is recorded as a negative balance in your consignor account. Participating merchandise sales reduce that balance before payout.

Outstanding Pickup Balances

If an approved pickup balance remains when the consignment closes, you may pay the remaining amount and retrieve the unsold merchandise at your own return-transport expense.

Alternatively, where legally available, you may expressly elect an approved surrender and liquidation arrangement in exchange for waiver of the remaining authorized pickup balance.

A negative account balance alone does not transfer ownership.

Items Declined After Delivery

Arrange collection within 48 hours after notice unless another arrangement is approved, subject to applicable law.

06 | Important Dates

Your Portal & Expiration Deadlines

30-Day Delivery Window

07 | Important Contractual Provision

Expiration, Abandonment & Unclaimed Merchandise

50-Day Term and 10-Day Grace Period

The standard consignment selling period is 50 calendar days beginning after merchandise has been received, priced, and published for sale.

Following expiration, the consignor has an additional 10 calendar days to retrieve unsold merchandise or obtain written approval for an extension.

Consignor Responsibility

The consignor is responsible for monitoring the Circle-Hand portal, tracking expiration dates, and arranging timely retrieval.

Automated reminders are provided as a courtesy.

Failure to receive, read, or respond to a courtesy reminder does not extend the consignment or grace period, subject to any legally required notice.

Abandoned Merchandise

By accepting this agreement, the consignor expressly acknowledges and agrees that merchandise not retrieved after the 50-day consignment period and additional 10-calendar-day grace period, without an approved extension, will be considered abandoned for purposes of Miss Daisy's unclaimed-merchandise procedures.

The consignor expressly authorizes Miss Daisy's, to the extent permitted by California law and after completion of any legally required notices or procedures, to take possession of such unclaimed merchandise for store-inventory purposes and to sell, liquidate, donate, remove, or otherwise lawfully dispose of it.

Once ownership has lawfully transferred to Miss Daisy's, the merchandise becomes store-owned inventory.

Miss Daisy's may then retain, reprice, sell, liquidate, donate, or otherwise dispose of the merchandise, without additional compensation arising solely from that transfer, except where required by law.

Miss Daisy's is not required to provide indefinite storage for expired merchandise.

Advance Authorization

The consignor accepts these provisions electronically through Circle-Hand when entering this agreement.

This authorization is intended to permit lawful disposition without an additional signature at expiration, provided all applicable requirements have been satisfied.

Approved Extensions

An additional 30-day selling period may be granted upon written management approval. Extensions are not automatic.

No separate extension fee applies solely for an approved extension under these new terms.

Previously accepted merchandise remains subject to its original agreement unless separately amended in writing.

Back to Top
08 | Early Withdrawal

Removing Merchandise Before Expiration

Once merchandise has been processed and prepared for sale, voluntary early withdrawal ordinarily carries a fee of 25% of its current listed merchandise selling price , excluding sales tax.

Any reduction or waiver requires written approval. Outstanding authorized transportation costs must also be resolved.

Back to Top
09 | Consignor Proceeds

Payouts & Payment Methods

Payouts are requested through your Circle-Hand account and are not issued automatically.

Eligible payouts are generally processed weekly on Fridays, subject to completed sales and available funds.

Payment Method Fee
ACH Direct Deposit Free

10 | Specialty Placement

Auctions & Specialty Sales

Artwork, antiques, jewelry, collectibles, and other specialty merchandise may be considered for auction or an alternative sales channel.

Items expected to sell for $5,000 or more may receive particular consideration.

Consign for a Cause

You provide the belongings. We provide the work. Together, we support a cause that matters.

Consign for a Cause was created for people who want quality furnishings and belongings to benefit a charitable organization without having to manage the work of selling everything themselves.

Nominate a Nonprofit

Featured charitable organizations are available choices, not a representation that each has a formal partnership agreement with Miss Daisy's. Charity selections are confirmed with our team.

How Our Charitable Contribution Works

For each qualifying item sold through Consign for a Cause, Miss Daisy's contributes 10% of the actual merchandise selling price to the designated participating nonprofit.

This commitment is calculated from the sale price itself, not from our profits.

For example, when an item sells for $1,000, the selected charity receives $100.

That contribution is made regardless of the costs Miss Daisy's has incurred for pickup, documentation, staffing, showroom space, marketing, or other operating expenses.

The charity receives its full 10% whether or not Miss Daisy's earns a profit on that sale.

Remaining sale proceeds are retained by Miss Daisy's to support the services and operating costs associated with the program.

There is no personal consignor payout under this charitable option.

Merchandise acceptance, complimentary pickup, and onsite visits are subject to approval, suitability, location, and availability. Photographic inventories and resale estimates are provided as recordkeeping aids only. They are not qualified tax appraisals, charitable donation receipts, or guarantees of a tax deduction. Donors should consult their tax advisers concerning tax treatment and substantiation.

14 | Our Charitable Initiative

Safe Moves for Seniors

Helping Older Adults Move With Dignity

Safe Moves for Seniors is our charitable initiative helping qualifying low-income seniors relocate when professional moving assistance is beyond their financial means.

Our goal is to provide eligible seniors with free moving and downsizing assistance, subject to resources, eligibility, and program approval.

Services may include planning, organizing, sorting belongings, packing coordination, independent moving arrangements, and preparing for a new home.

When you consign with Miss Daisy's, you're supporting a local business committed to helping its community.

Whether you choose Self-Service, Full-Service Estate Consignment, or Consign for a Cause, we appreciate your support.

Standard consignment does not automatically designate a separate financial contribution to Safe Moves for Seniors. Program assistance is subject to eligibility and available resources.
