How consignment works
Step 1: Tell us what you have
Send the make, model, condition and a few photos through the form below.
Step 2: We review and propose terms
We check demand and recent sales, then send you a proposed listing price and the terms of the agreement.
Step 3: You approve the price
Nothing is listed until you agree to the asking price and the floor.
Step 4: We sell it
We photograph, list, answer buyer questions, handle inspections and arrange shipping.
Step 5: You are paid
Once the buyer has paid, we send you the proceeds under the agreed terms with a statement.
Is consignment right for you?
Consign when
- You can wait for a buyer and want the sale price to track what the item is worth today.
- The item is a recognized brand in working condition with its documentation.
- You have room to keep it on your floor, or you would rather it sit in our warehouse than yours.
- You want one point of contact to handle buyers, questions and freight.
Sell outright when
- You need the space or the cash by a set date.
- The item is older, untested, incomplete or needs repair.
- You are clearing a whole lab or line and want everything gone in one move.
- You prefer a fixed number now over a higher but uncertain number later.
