Why Should You
Consign with Us?
Consignment
eliminates having strangers in your home and does not jeopardize
the safety of your family or your property.
Consigning
will usually allow you to get the best price for your quality
furniture and saves you the time and hassle of trying to
sell through newspaper ads or yard sales.
Our reputation
and our ability to display and sell your furniture commands a
selling price that is higher than most private sales. When you sell your
items with us, you’ll receive 50% of the selling price.
We’ll mail checks once a month for any of your items that sold
during the prior month. |
What We Accept
for Consignments
We welcome
quality items that have a timeless sense of style. We accept
home furnishings in like-new condition. Items may include
sofas, dining room tables and chairs, china cabinets, buffets,
consoles, rocking chairs, occasional tables, curio cabinets,
ottomans, desks, lamps, mirrors, bedroom furniture, and area
rugs. All items must be clean and odor free. We will not
accept electronics, entertainment centers, mattresses, or
accessories. If you’re not sure, send us a picture.
All wood
furniture must be solid wood construction – no particle board.
The finish must be consistent over all the surfaces and well
maintained with no watermarks, no (or very minor) scratches, or
other noticeable flaws. Leg frames must be sturdy and cannot
wobble. No loose, broken, or missing hardware and all drawers
and doors must operate smoothly and close correctly.
Upholstery must be clean and odor free. We will not accept
items with stains, tears, or pet hair. In addition, we will not
accept faded upholstery or worn, sagging, or out of shape
furniture.
Everything will
be sold in an “as is” condition and will be priced to reflect
that condition. It is to your benefit to enhance the overall
look of your furniture before we accept your furniture for
consignment. Additional service fees may apply to items that
require any cleaning or repair work.

How Does It Work?
Simply email a picture
of your quality furniture
(or mail a picture to our store) and we’ll evaluate whether they’ll be
desirable to our clientele and estimate a fair market value.
If sending us a picture is
not convenient, please call
us at 856-6711 to make other
arrangements.
Please
understand that our customers’ preferences must be our selection
guidelines. In addition, all furniture must be in good to mint
condition. On a scale of 1 – 10, we’ll look for pieces between 7 & 10.
Once we accept your
furniture for consignment, and we mutually agree on a selling price,
we’ll display them in our store for a minimum of 120 days. Prices will
be reduced 10% every 30 days. As items are sold, we’ll mail you a
check for 50% of the selling price. In the unlikely event that your
items do not sell, you’ll have 5 days to reclaim your merchandise or it
becomes the property of Crockett Furniture Consignment, a division
of Crockett Interiors. |
Transporting
Your Furniture to Our Store
Once we have
accepted your furniture for consignment, you have two options:
you may bring the furniture in yourself or we can pick up your
furniture for you. In either case, we need to schedule a time
and a day. Because pick-up rates are determined by location,
number of items, and the degree
of difficulty in removing those items, please contact Scott
Crockett for rates.
