What's Consignment?
So, you've tried Craigslist, eBay, yard sale groups on Facebook, pretty much everything you can think of to get that guitar out of the house for a decent price, but you haven't had an ounce of luck. That's where we come in.
We operate on a percentage basis listed below:
We operate on a percentage basis listed below:
80%/20%
You will receive 80% of the final selling price for items below $1,000
90%/10%
You will receive 90% of the final selling price for items $1,000 and over
Both of which certainly beat out the 50%-60% current used retail price paid out on buys and trades, and that's only when finances permit. If you're willing to be patient and have us do the work for you, you really can't lose.
A few things to keep in mind:
- We are primarily a guitar/bass shop, with a very specific regular customer base. We have successfully sold consignment percussion items, PA gear, lighting equipment and school band instruments. We don't specialize in any of these and all consignments under these headings will only accepted with the consignor notified of this disclaimer.
- Any guitars or basses brought to us for consignment that need work to function will have the service or parts fees added on top of the consignment percentage. If it doesn't function, we won't take it.
- If you choose to do so, you are free to take the items back whenever you please with no consignment-related fees attached. HOWEVER. Consignments that have had parts or service done as mentioned above to ensure functionality will be held until any related fees, that are discussed at the start of the consignment are paid in full.
- We will make price suggestions and do research regarding the current retailprice in relation what the new price is/was. Ultimately, the price is up to you, and while we prioritize consignments, we still have to think about competition and placement when it comes to advertising. So, don't come crying to us when your Squier Affinity hasn't sold for $800. Do some research - know what you have and know what it's worth.
