Consignment Tips

Before bringing your items in to be consigned prepare them for market.  Most consignment stores display your items just as they receive them.  Prepare your items to be displayed in Encore's 5,000 sq ft showroom. The cleaner and newer looking the item, the more desirable it will be to a potential buyer.  If they have been displayed in your home for a long time or packed up in storage they will most likely have an accumulation of dust.  The cleaner the item is the more desirable it will be to a buyer. Often times a buyer will disregard an item because it is dirty. It is just like anything you sell, you want it to look as presentable as possible.

​

Touching up a wood piece with touch up stain or paint can make a big difference in its appearance.  A little polish or wax goes a long way.  They make wonderful furniture markers that can be purchased in a variety of stain colors at most home improvement stores.

​

Clean out the drawers of dressers, desks, armoires, etc. Take the drawers out and look behind them.  Wipe or vacuum out the inside of each drawer.

​

If you are consigning an upholstered item vacuum it thoroughly.  Take each cushion off and vacuum underneath and in the crevasses.   

​

Double check that all lamps, clocks, and other electronic items are in working condition with new lightbulbs, batteries, etc.

​

Bring in any sales receipts, tags, invoices or instructions that accompany your item.
