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.
