🌼 Miss Daisy’s Consignment & Auction House — Terms & Conditions

🌼 Welcome to Consigning with Miss Daisy’s

In July 2025, we proudly celebrated five years in business with nearly $2 million paid to consignors—a testament to the trust our community places in us.

Consigning with Miss Daisy’s means partnering with professionals dedicated to getting the best results for your items. Our full-time Pricing & Research team ensures competitive, accurate pricing, while our showroom and online platforms give your pieces maximum visibility.

Payments are securely issued through SimplePay, and unsold items are thoughtfully donated to local charities. With Miss Daisy’s, you can expect professionalism, fairness, and community stewardship.

🛍️ Selling Options

Consigning isn’t one-size-fits-all. We offer four flexible paths so you can choose what works best for your items, schedule, and goals. Consignment involves many steps—research, pricing, photography, marketing, markdowns, and customer service. Final payout depends on market factors and buyer interest. That’s why we provide four selling options: consign, sell outright, donate, or handle it yourself.

1. 1) Traditional Consignment

   • You deliver items to us, or hire movers at your expense.
   • Items are sold through our storefront and online platforms.
   • We handle photography, pricing, listings, and marketing.
   • Markdowns every 10 days keep inventory moving.
   • You earn 40–50% of the base sale price (not including buyer’s premium). Low value items—under $100—earn you 30%.
   • Payouts issued within 6 weeks of item expiration through SimplePay.

   This is a partnership: you are the consignor, we are the consignee.

2. 2) Outright Purchase (Dealer Buyout)

   • For those who need to clear space quickly.
   • We may buy items upfront at liquidation rates.
   • Payouts are lower than consignment, but you receive immediate payment.
   • Pickup and transportation covered by us.

3. 3) Sell It Yourself

   • Use Craigslist, Nextdoor, OfferUp, or Facebook Marketplace.
   • Set your own price and manage your own buyers.
   • No commission, no contract — you handle inquiries, pickups, and no-shows.

4. 4) Donation to Safe Moves for Seniors

   • Donated items support underserved seniors in our community.
   • Pickup provided at no charge; costs are covered by sales.
   • 100% of commission (less pickup costs) goes directly to Safe Moves for Seniors.
   • Items must be approved for consignment. We do not accept donations unless they meet our consignment terms and conditions.

📅 Consignment Term & Grace Period

• Standard term: 50 days + 10-day grace period to reclaim unsold items.
• Extensions: up to 30 days with written approval may be available. Extended items may be discounted 25–50% during liquidation sales.

📸 Tracking Your Items

At check-in, you’ll receive:

• A photo link of items received
• An email with your consignor portal login

Your portal allows you to track:

• Inventory
• Pricing & Discounts
• Sales status
• Expiration & Grace Periods

Important: You must check your portal regularly. We do not notify consignors when items sell, discount, expire, are donated, or convert to store property.

📦 Inventory Statuses

🔁 Unsold Items & Surrender Policy

• Unsold items remain on the floor for sale until removed.
• Items not picked up by end of grace period are considered SURRENDERED and become property of Miss Daisy’s.
• Surrendered items may be sold, donated, or disposed of at our discretion.

✔️ Item Requirements

• Items must be clean, odor-free, and in excellent condition.
• Items may still be rejected on arrival if damaged, sun-faded, stained, worn, or carrying odors (smoke, pet, mildew, insect) — even after photo pre-approval.
• Excessive cleaning/repair may incur a service fee.
• Rejected items must be picked up within 48 hours or will be donated/disposed at consignor’s expense.
• Miss Daisy’s is not responsible for delivery costs of rejected items.
• Photos are only preliminary — accuracy is consignor’s responsibility.

🚛 Movers, Delivery & Assembly

• Consignors arrange all transport; Miss Daisy’s is not a moving company.
• Staff assistance may be available but should not be assumed.
• Drop-off rules: Movers must follow staff direction and place items in the store. Dropping items at the front is prohibited — inform movers before arrival.
• Miss Daisy’s is not liable for damage, loss, or accidents during pickup, transport, or delivery.
• We can recommend trusted movers if needed.
• Items delivered in parts must be fully assembled upon delivery unless other arrangements have been made.

💰 Commission Rates

• 50% on items $500.01+
• 40% on items $100.01–$500
• 30% on items $100 and under (“smalls”)

Low-Value Policy: Items under $100 receive a reduced 30% commission since they require the same labor as higher-value pieces. These items may be priced directly on-site and may not appear in your portal until sold.

🧾 Appraisals & 💵 Pricing Policy

• In-house evaluations provided; outside experts consulted as needed.
• Formal appraisals (e.g., rugs) cost $25 (deducted from account), including measurements, photos, and provenance.
• Pricing set only after physical inspection and research — not from photos or before contract.
• All pricing is final and non-negotiable once items are consigned.

💳 Buyer’s Premium

A 25% Buyer’s Premium is included in every ticketed price. This is paid by the buyer and does not reflect in your commission.

Your commission is based on the Base Price (in the example above, $100). The Premium supports competitive staff wages, marketing, e-commerce, showroom maintenance, pricing, research and community programs.

💳 Payments & 💸 Cash Flow Policy

• Payments issued via SimplePay (ACH) only; checks not available.
• Automatic payouts within 6 weeks of consignment expiration, or sooner upon request after sale.

Cash Flow Policy: Payouts are capped at $2,500 per month if balances accumulate. This ensures:

• Fair and timely payments for all consignors
• Stable business operations despite seasonal swings
• Continued premium services and marketing support

❗ Risk & 🔒 Liability

• No guarantees of sale; some items may not sell or may sell for less than expected.
• Unsold items are donated after grace period.
• Miss Daisy’s is not responsible for theft, loss, damage, or natural disasters.
• While precautions are taken (alarms, cameras, secure cases), incidents may occur.
• Consignors should check with their insurer for coverage while items are consigned.

🔁 Early Termination & ❌ Right to Cancel

• Withdrawing items before term ends incurs a 20% fee.
• Miss Daisy’s retains exclusive right to sell items for the full consignment term.
• We may cancel consignments and return items that fail to meet value, condition, or salability standards.

✅ Final Acknowledgment

By consigning with Miss Daisy’s, you confirm:

• You are the legal owner of all items, free of liens/encumbrances.
• You have read and accepted these Terms and Conditions.
