Why Consign?
When you have furniture, home décor, or other one-of-a-kind items that you need to let go of, it can be hard to figure out what to do with them.
You could try to sell them yourself, on Facebook or Craigslist or another online marketplace, but you’ll have to deal with scammers, hagglers, and no-shows (not to mention looking out for your own safety, as well).
You could donate your items, but regardless of the value of the items you won’t get anything in return. You also won’t have any guarantee that your pieces won’t be tossed or destroyed if they don’t sell.
But when you work with Consign and Design to sell your items, you’ll get the best of both worlds, with none of the hassle. We’ll assess your item and sell it for a fair price on your behalf, and you’ll get 50% of the profit with none of the work. What’s more, when you consign with us, you know your pieces will be put in front of buyers with a genuine love for the history and quality of our one-of-a-kind finds.
