What is consignment?Consignment Seekers FAQ's


Consignment involves the selling of merchandise while ownership remains with the original owner. When we sell your furniture for you, you receive a percentage of the final sale price.

What are the consignment terms?

Consignment Seekers pays the consignor 50% of the item's sale price. Consignment Seekers Commission for handling the sale is the remaining 50%.

  • At 30 days the price of the item will drop by 10% of the original sale price.
  • At 60 days the price will drop by 20% of the original sale price.
  •  At 90 days the initial consignment period will expire.


For items to remain in the store after this point, a special agreement must be made between Consignment Seekers and the consignor.

Items without a formal extended agreement, must be picked-up or will become the property of Consignment Seekers.

Commission checks are issued for the prior month's sales on the 20th of each month. Checks that are not picked up at the store are mailed at the end of each month.

Credit card charges and moving expenses will be deducted from sales price prior to 50/50 split.
