Consignment is a service to sell your items for you. There are several types of consignment stores selling clothing, furniture, fine art, tools, jewelry and sporting goods. Generally the final selling prices of the consignor's items are divided on a percentage basis between the consignor and the consignment shop.
Consignment is easy and safe. A professional staff and stylish showroom will get the best price for your items. Also, you'll not have to spend money on classified ads nor stay at home waiting on calls or shoppers. Obviously one of the most important things is not having strangers come to your home to view the items.
We keep a variety of furniture and accessories in excellent condition in our showrooms.
No. We sell the items, with a 50/50 split of proceeds. (see below) Our consignment store provides a professional and knowledgeable staff to get the best price possible for your items. We are working 6 days a week, 8 hours a day to sell
your consigned goods. We place regular advertising on radio, TV and in local and area newspapers to bring clients to our showroom.
All styles of furniture and accessories are accepted if they are in good to excellent condition. Furniture must be clean, free from tobacco, pet or food odors and ready to display. Accessories include, but are not limited to, pictures, wall
hangings, lamps, floral arrangements and mirrors. We do not accept appliances, electronic devices, draperies, used mattresses or bedding.
Yes. We keep many new items on our showroom floor. In addition, we are able to order new furniture and accessories from the full color catalogs available in our store. (We also carry an elegant line of new mattresses & foundations).
Usually, items sell within the first 30 days. However, furniture is consigned for a period of 60 days. At the end of 60 days you may pick up your unsold merchandise or we will arrange delivery of the unsold merchandise back to you for a minimal fee. As an option, you may wish to have us donate your unsold property to a local charity.
Payments are mailed to consignors on the 10th day of each month for sales completed during the previous calendar month. Consignors receive 50% of the final selling price of their merchandise.
Furniture, like automobiles, sells faster and for a better price if it is clean and attractive to buyers. We recommend that consignors put their merchandise in the best condition possible prior to consignment. We offer cleaning services for a fee if you prefer.
Either way. However, we must first inspect your merchandise and determine that we believe it will sell. Upon approval for sale you may bring it to the Consignment Gallery Monday through Saturday during business hours (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.). We have made economical arrangements with Express Moving (806- 687-6683) to pick up furniture for those who cannot transport it themselves. Express Moving charges a minimum of $35 for a local pickup. (Out-of- Lubbock pickup costs vary).
Of course. However, generally older furniture will not sell for as high a price as furniture that is more up-to-date. In many cases there is a demand for older styles in excellent condition. True antiques should be sold through businesses that specialize in valuing and selling antiques.
