Items must be of good quality, clean, odor-free, and in excellent condition. Even with pre-approval, items that arrive damaged, sun-faded, stained, worn, or with odors (smoke, pet, mildew, insect, etc.) may be rejected at any time.
If an item requires excessive cleaning, repair, or has missing parts or hardware, an additional fee may be charged to cover these expenses if the item is accepted.
We may discover quality issues during valuation. If we reject an item that has been delivered due to a condition issue, Miss Daisy's Consignment & Auction House is not responsible for delivery costs. If you do not pick up the unaccepted item(s) within 48 hours, they will be donated or disposed of at your expense.
You must either contract a third-party mover for the delivery of your items or bring them in yourself. We are not movers. Please ensure your movers know they must place items in our store as directed by staff.
Miss Daisy's is not responsible for any damage or loss due to pickup, delivery, or moving your items in any way.
Any furniture that arrives in parts or pieces must be reassembled by the consignor or their movers. Please ensure your movers are informed of this requirement.
Commissions are based on the sale price of each item:
40% for items sold under $300.
50% for items sold between $300.01–$2,500.
60% for items sold between $2,500.01–$5,000.
70% for items sold between $5,000.01–$10,000.
80% for items sold above $10,000.
If an item is sold online through platforms like eBay, Etsy, or Chairish, you will receive a flat 40% commission. Items sold through our online auction on LiveAuctioneers.com will follow the same tiered percentages as consignment sales.
We use various in-house tools to determine the current market value of your items. Occasionally, we collaborate with trusted industry partners for verified formal appraisals, which include an estimated market value and an insurance value.
A $25 fee, our wholesale cost for the appraisal, will be deducted from your account.
Each item is photographed and measured, and if any provenance is known, this information is submitted as part of the appraisal process. Responses typically take 48 hours.
Your item(s) will automatically reduce by 10% off the original price every 10 days until the end of your consignment term.
Pricing is based on the item(s)’ age, brand, condition, interest, and local current market value. While the original retail price may be considered, the final price is determined by current resale/market demand.
Prices may be adjusted, changed, or negotiated with potential buyers at any time. Miss Daisy's retains the exclusive right to make these adjustments.
Low estimates and starting bids are placed on auction items to encourage bidding. If you set a minimum bid or reserve price for your auction item and it does not sell:
You must pick up the unsold item(s) within 30 days of the auction close.
You will be required to pay production expenses, not less than $99 per item, to cover costs such as research, storage, photography, descriptions, placement, and communication.
No fee applies if Miss Daisy's sets the starting price or reserve, and the item does not sell.
Inventory, prices, and starting dates are tracked through the online consignor portal. It may take up to two weeks or longer to properly research and input your items into the system.
Items become available for sale, both online and in-store, once they are priced and photographed. Please check starting prices and descriptions and report any errors or omissions promptly.
A 25% buyer’s premium, included in the ticketed price, is added to the price of your item(s). You do not receive any part of this premium. For example, if your item is ticketed at $125, your commission will be based on the base price of $100.
This premium helps offset the overhead of operating our business in a large and aging former department store, as well as providing competitive wages for our staff in Santa Barbara.
Payments will no longer be issued by check. You must sign up with SimplePay through your secure consignor portal. We do not access or see your banking information.
Payments are directly deposited into your account upon request or within 6 weeks of your expiration date. SimplePay transactions may take up to 5 business days to reach your account.
Preparing your items for sale requires research, photography, advertising, and listing. Retrieving items before the contract ends may result in a 20% early removal fee.
Miss Daisy's retains the exclusive right to sell accepted items for the duration of the consignment agreement.
Your items may be used and promoted at special events and fundraisers as props or for their intended purposes. For example, a dining table may be used as event seating.
While we strive to protect your items, Miss Daisy's is not responsible for any damage or loss caused by:
Customers, theft, staff, movers, natural disasters, or accidents.
Earthquakes, as we do not carry earthquake insurance.
Consignors should confirm with their insurance carrier that personal property is covered while in our custody.
Miss Daisy's may cancel consignments and return items at no cost if, upon further research, they fail to meet standards for value or salability.
By reading this agreement and signing this contract I confirm that:
1. I am the legal owner of the listed items, free of liens.
2. I have read, understood, and agree to all the terms and conditions outlined above.
