Why Consign?

Do you have quality home furnishings that you're ready to move along? 

There are several reasons you may choose consignment as your best option for doing so:

  • You’ve inherited an estate and don't want to have a full-on estate sale but would rather sell a few quality items

  • You're moving or downsizing and have quality furniture or home goods that you don't want to just donate

  • You want to avoid the hassles of garage sales or online selling to strangers

  • You're ready to redecorate. The extra cash would be great to help fund your new or new-to-you home design goals

About Consigning With Furnish Traders

Each consignor is asked to sign a 120-day consignment contract. The general terms are fifty percent (50%) of the sale price goes to the consignor. 

Our staff determines the retail price on all consigned merchandise. In submitting our consignment intake form with your item(s), you are able to provide any details you believe would help in pricing.  It is in everyone's best interest for items to be priced at a fair market value that would allow items to realistically sell within the first 30 days of the consignment period.

Our price incentive guidelines for each 30-day interval of the consignment period are as follows:

  • First 30 days: Listed at full (initial) price

  • Days 31 - 60: Listed at 90% of initial price

  • Days 61 - 90: Listed at 85% of initial price

  • Days 91 - 120: Listed at 75% of initial price

Consignors have seven (7) calendar days from the last day of the 120-day consignment period to pick up any unsold items.  

Consignors are able to track the status of their consignments online 24/7 by logging in to their consignor account online HERE.

Furnish Traders reviews consignments for pre-approval via pictures emailed to us (or viewable via pics on your phone) during business hours. Large furniture must be pre-approved by us prior to arrival. Otherwise, smaller items can be brought in on Tuesdays & Thursdays during business hours. If those days do not work for your schedule, please contact us to make an appointment.  Please email a photo of furniture items for review to info@furnishtraders.com.

Please bring along help to unload or load your items.

Ready To Consign?

  1. Email a picture(s) of any large furniture pieces or items you’d like pre-approved. If you have a large furniture piece(s), or otherwise would like us to review your items before bringing them to the shop, please email pictures to info@furnishtraders.com or stop in with pictures on your phone. We will confirm pre-approval and scheduling prior to your drop-off.

  2. Fill out our General Consignment Intake Form. On the form, you'll list the items you wish to consign or items we’ve already pre-approved. We either need this intake form completed and emailed to us in advance of your bringing your items to the shop, or you may fill one out at the front desk upon dropping items off on consignment.

  3. Bring your items to the shop. Would you prefer not to email pictures for pre-approval and just want to bring over items for us to take a look at in person? You may bring in smaller consignment items through our front door on Tuesdays or Thursdays during normal business hours. We’ll review your items on the spot. If those days or times don't work for you, please call/email to make an appointment with us and we'll do our best to accommodate.

    Remember you can email pictures of items for advance pre-approval anytime: Items we’ve already looked at and pre-approved can typically be dropped off anytime during business hours. Larger furniture drop-offs may require an appointment: Please contact us for details.

    Please bring along help to unload or load your items. Remember to contact us for pre-approval on all large items. Need moving assistance to or from the shop? Please contact us for a mover referral.

Important note:  Please have your items CLEAN, with no missing parts, in working order and as floor-ready as possible prior to bringing them to the shop.  Upholstery and rugs must be extra clean and odor-free. Please check for stains, rips, tears, big dings and scratches on your items.  If you have any questions, please ask us or send additional photos ahead of time: Items with condition issues may be returned by staff.

4.  Track your consignments online 24/7. Upon receipt of your approved consignor contract, we'll have your consignments entered in our online system within 5 business days.  You'll receive personalized login information for your online consignor account so you can conveniently track the status of your consignments at any time.

5.  Pick up your check. Once your item sells, your check will be available for pick up at the shop beginning the 10th day of the month following the month in which your item sold.  (Example:  Your item sold Sept. 1 - Sept. 30, so your check would be ready on Oct. 10th).  Please provide a self-addressed stamped envelope if you would like your check mailed.
