What Is Consignment? A Complete Guide to Selling Smarter

June 9, 2025

How Consignment Works

  1. You bring in or submit your item (online or in person).
    Example: You have a PSA-graded Michael Jordan rookie card, a Chanel handbag, or a vintage Rolex watch.

  2. We provide a complimentary informal appraisal, photograph, and list your item on trusted marketplaces, including our high-traffic website, and private collector groups.

  3. You retain full ownership of the item until it is sold.

  4. Once it sells, you get paid. You receive the majority of the proceeds, and we keep a pre-agreed commission.

Why Consignment Works So Well

✓ No Upfront Fees
You pay nothing unless your item sells. There’s no listing fee, no hidden costs—just results. This makes consignment one of the lowest-risk ways to sell high-value items.

✓ Professional Marketing & Sales Optimization
We handle professional product photography, compelling descriptions, keyword optimization, and buyer engagement across multiple platforms. This significantly increases visibility and resale value.

✓ Access to Premium Buyers
Your item is placed in front of premium buyers through curated listings, verified accounts with over 500+ five-star reviews, and exclusive collector and investor groups. That’s exposure you just can’t get selling solo.

What Can You Sell on Consignment?

Consignment works best for items with established value and collector demand. Here are some examples:

  • Luxury fashion: Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, and more

  • Fine jewelry and watches: Rolex, Cartier, Omega, Patek Philippe

  • Graded sports cards: PSA, BGS, SGC-certified items

  • Automobiles: Luxury cars, motorcycles, etc.

  • Memorabilia: Signed jerseys, movie props, rare toys

  • Collectibles: Comic books, vinyl records, retro video games

  • Art and decor: Signed prints, limited-edition pieces, designer furniture

Who Is Consignment Best For?

  • Collectors looking to liquidate high-value items without spending hours managing listings

  • Downsizers or estate managers wanting to turn assets into cash

  • Fashion lovers cycling out designer pieces
