Frequently Ask Questions

How does your consignment process work?

We accept items that are in good, sellable condition. The prices are determined at the store by our staff. The items are reduced in price after 90 days and kept on the floor for up to six months. The owner receives 60% of the actual selling price.

What kinds of things do you accept?

We accept furniture of almost any type. Bedroom furniture such as dressers, chests, beds, nightstands. We no longer accept bedding. We take den/living room furniture that is in good condition. We are limited on space for upholstered pieces and these items typically don't sell for very much. We accept dining room furniture and kitchen sets. These can be simply chairs or sold as a table by itself. Odd pieces such as tables, cabinets, shelves, chairs all sell very well. We also accept accessories such as mirror, lamps, rugs and ornate items to decorate with. These items are reviewed when you drop them off and we will let you know if we think that we can sell them for you.

How do you decide if you can sell it and for how much?

We try to keep our store stocked with nice things that someone would want to use in their home. We consider how old and if that item can be used in decorating a home. We also consider the pricing based on what you might pay for that item if it were new and sell it for approximately half.

Do you accept antiques?

Yes we do have many antiques and collectibles in the store. We are not an antique store and we do not have the knowledge to price these types of things. We like to think of our store as a place to find usable items. If you have an antique that can be reasonably priced we would love to help you find a home for it.

Do you accept china and glassware?

We can sell newer more reasonably priced items such as this. We do not have an interest in stocking our shelves with fine antique china and crystal. These items can have a very high price tag and probably wouldn't sell for the actual value. The majority of our customers would buy it because they like it not because of it's history.

How do I get paid?

Checks are processed at the end of the month after all your sold items have been calculated. Customers should receive a call to pick up their check by the 10th of the month.

What do you NOT accept in the store?

We do not sell children's furniture such as cribs, strollers and high chairs. We no longer accept bedding and window treatments. On occasion we will accept custom window treatments if they are not too dated and out of style. We do not accept accessories of the country motif or handmade items such as needlepoint.

Do you accept Christmas decorations?

We do have a Christmas corner full of fun things. We do not accept trees.

What if the item doesn't sell after six months?

At this point we will contact the owner to discuss the options. We can reduce it for quick sell. We can of course give it back or we can donate it to a needy cause. The owner of the item will receive receipt for the donation. We typically donate directly to the Family Abuse Services or the Residential Treatment Facility of Hospice.
