Why Consign?
Do you have quality home furnishings that you're ready to move along?
There are several reasons you may choose consignment as your best option for doing so:
You’ve inherited an estate and don't want to have a full-on estate sale but would rather sell a few quality items
You're moving or downsizing and have quality furniture or home goods that you don't want to just donate
You want to avoid the hassles of garage sales or online selling to strangers
You're ready to redecorate. The extra cash would be great to help fund your new or new-to-you home design goals
About Consigning With Furnish Traders
Each consignor is asked to sign a 120-day consignment contract. The general terms are fifty percent (50%) of the sale price goes to the consignor.
Our staff determines the retail price on all consigned merchandise. In submitting our consignment intake form with your item(s), you are able to provide any details you believe would help in pricing. It is in everyone's best interest for items to be priced at a fair market value that would allow items to realistically sell within the first 30 days of the consignment period.
Our price incentive guidelines for each 30-day interval of the consignment period are as follows:
First 30 days: Listed at full (initial) price
Days 31 - 60: Listed at 90% of initial price
Days 61 - 90: Listed at 85% of initial price
Days 91 - 120: Listed at 75% of initial price
Consignors have seven (7) calendar days from the last day of the 120-day consignment period to pick up any unsold items.
Consignors are able to track the status of their consignments online 24/7 by logging in to their consignor account online HERE.
Review of Consignments
Furnish Traders reviews consignments for pre-approval via pictures emailed to us anytime at info@furnishtraders.com and we respond back to all emails by the next business day (please note our business hours). Alternatively, you may stop in on Tuesdays or Thursdays during these business hours to show us photos of items on your phone/device.
Do you have smaller items and/or furniture or larger pieces? Here is more detail on our review of these:
SMALLS: Pre-approved small, non-furniture items may be dropped off anytime during business hours. We also review small consignments in person (1-2 boxes max please) on Tuesdays and Thursdays during these business hours while you wait and browse the shop.
FURNITURE AND LARGER PIECES: Furniture and other large items (large artwork, rugs, etc.) must first be pre-approved via our review of photos. Larger items and furniture pieces brought to the shop without an appointment will not be reviewed or accepted. Please email a photo(s) of these items for review to info@furnishtraders.com or stop in on a Tuesday or Thursday during business hours to show us photos. A drop-off appointment is made for pre-approved large items and this allows us to ensure we have the appropriate loading dock space to accept them and a person available to look them over upon their arrival. Please bring along help to unload your items or let us know when scheduling your drop-off appointment if you will need assistance.

All items must be CLEAN, odor-free and in good condition. Any items with missing parts, chipped, cracked or broken condition will not be accepted. We may not accept items that have been housed in a smoking or pet environment.

Ready To Consign? Let’s Get Started
Show us photos. Email pictures to info@furnishtraders.com or stop in on a Tuesday or Thursday during these business hours with pictures on your phone.

If you’d prefer, small items can be reviewed in person (1-2 boxes max please) on Tuesdays and Thursdays during these business hours while you wait and browse the shop.
Fill out our General Consignment Intake Form. On the form, you'll list the items you wish to consign or items we’ve already pre-approved. We either need this intake form completed and emailed to us in advance of your bringing your items to the shop, or you may fill one out at the front desk upon dropping items off for consignment.
Bring your items to the shop. Pre-approved small consignments can be brought to the shop anytime during business hours. Larger items and furniture drop-offs required an advance appointment. Please bring along help to unload or load your items. Need moving assistance to or from the shop? Please contact us for a mover referral.
Important note: Please have your items CLEAN, with no missing parts, in working order and as floor-ready as possible prior to bringing them to the shop. Please check for stains, rips, tears, big dings and scratches on your items. Upholstery must be extra clean and odor-free. We require larger rugs to either be professionally-cleaned or steam-cleaned prior to drop-off. If you have any questions, please ask us or send additional photos ahead of time: Items with condition issues may be returned by staff.
4. Track your consignments online 24/7. Upon receipt of your approved consignor contract, we'll have your consignments entered in our online system within 7 calendar days. You'll receive personalized login information for your online consignor account so you can conveniently track the status of your consignments at any time.
5. Pick up your check. Once your item sells, your check will be available for pick up at the shop beginning the 10th day of the month following the month in which your item sold. (Example: Your item sold Sept. 1 - Sept. 30, so your check would be ready on Oct. 10th). Please provide a self-addressed stamped envelope if you would like your check mailed.
