     Condition Requirements

     These are our general guidelines for accepting furniture and decor on consignment. If the items you wish to consign are not covered by these guidelines, please call us to discuss the acceptability of your specific items.

     Please understand that we must be very particular concerning the condition of the items we can accept.

     Upscale Consignment accepts furnishings that are in "like new" condition and typically less than 10 years of age. The items must be of a good quality construction, have minimal wear and tear, and is of a style that would be of interest to a large number of customers.

     We will occasionally make exceptions to the age requirements if the items are in “like new” condition, all the following conditions are met, and if we believe there is a demand for the particular style

     Entertainment Centers:

     Media centers designed for flat-screen T.V.'s 48" or larger are in demand, and we would be interested in accepting those on consignment.

     
     

     Close
     In general terms, we accept items that are less than 10 years old, in like-new condition, and of a style that has strong demand.
   • High-resolution photos of each item sent via our online Consignment Request Form or by email are required for pre-approval. We request that you do not bring in photos on your camera or phone, as there is not always a consignment specialist on hand and available to look at your items.
   • You can bring in your items without pre-approval, however, keep in mind that if we are not able to accept them, you'll need to take them back with you, or come back later to retrieve them.
   • All consignments are subject to our final inspection and stringent quality standards.*

2. Delivery To Our Showroom

   • You may bring in your pre-approved items any day between 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you need assistance brining your items in, we can recommend a professional pick up service. The cost for the service is very competitive and varies depending on the number of items and other specifics of the job.

3. Pricing

   • After arrival, each of your items will go through a thorough inspection to determine quality and condition. Our pricing specialist will then review the inspection report while also inspecting your items, and then recommend pricing with consideration given to condition, quality of construction, manufacturer, original purchase price, style, and demand of the item. We view each consignment as a partnership. It is in everyone's interest to price items at a fair market value that would realistically sell within 30 days.
   • We use automatic price discounting to ensure that your item sells quickly, and at the correct market price. Automatic price discounting means that the price is reduced by 5% every 30 days until the item is sold.
