How do I get the best return on my consignments?
Traditionally, the longer your auction items are listed online in our catalog, the better! Be sure to consign your items ASAP during our open consignment period. The longer your items spend online, the more views they get. The more views your items receive, the more people interested in buying them. The more interested buyers, the higher the sale price. Also, keep in mind that nice, clean items look better in pictures, which can bring more money for your consignments.
