Consigning with The Redefinery
STEP ONE:
MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. WE OFFER 2 TYPES OF APPOINTMENTS-
- Consignment Appointment (smalls)-these appointments are for smaller home decor items. Any item that you can get to The Redefinery easily-artwork, lamps, side tables, etc. qualify for this appointment.
- Offsite Consignment Appointment-these appointments are for consignors that may be downsizing or managing an estate. A Redefinery team member will come to you to assess your items.
STEP TWO:
DOWNLOAD OUR CONSIGNMENT AGREEMENT . READ IT CAREFULLY AND FILL IT OUT AS COMPLETELY AS POSSIBLE.
STEP THREE:
Email us at consign@theredefinery.org
- include pictures of all items (small and large) you'd like us to consider for consignment
- send multiple pictures of furniture showing the piece(s) from several angles in good lighting
- make sure to send any pictures of labels, makers marks or any other identifying marks
- include any provenance or history associated with the piece(s)
- indicate your timeline and any other information we need to know at the beginning of the process
STEP FOUR:
Give us 24 hours to respond. While you are patiently waiting for us to review your pictures, prepare for a 'yes, we'll consign everything'!
- if necessary-rent a truck, bribe a friend--do what you have to line up your drop off
- look at your calendar and have 2 days that work for you to drop off
STEP FIVE:
Once you hear back from us, this is where the TEAMWORK starts!
- make sure all of your treasures are CLEAN and ready for their debut on our sales floor
- competition is stiff, so break out the Windex, silver polish, steam cleaner (upholstered items), Old English, Restore-a-finish, etc.
- our Consignment Team will focus their energy on processing your treasures, so we won't have extra time to clean them
- we will use any info you included in your email about the history/provenance of your treasures, our sales history, our current inventory to arrive at a price
STEP SIX:
Track your sales!
- if you have any items that don't sell, remember to pick them up before your contract expires
- any treasures left behind become the property of The Redefinery and 100% of the sale goes back to the business
Remember, this is a TEAM effort. Communication is key--be in touch if you have any questions!
