It's Easy to Consign with REPEAT!
WHAT DOES "CONSIGNMENT" MEAN?
-
We sell your goods on your behalf (we do not own them, you do). You leave your goods with us for a given period of time and we display them for prospective buyers to purchase. Once your goods are sold, we share the revenues with you. A consignment agreement is established to ensure that we both understand what we expect from each other.
WHAT TYPES OF ITEMS DO WE ACCEPT?
-
Items must be in excellent condition.
-
The minimum resale price must be $10, which means the item had to be worth $15 to $20 when it was new.
-
We specialize in furniture and collectibles, but we also accept selected crystal & china, appliances, electronics, sporting goods, baby equipment and tools.
-
We do not accept used:
-
clothing, linens, mini-blinds, books (except dictionaries), records, old computers, obsolete electronics, hanging lamps....
-
Please call if you are uncertain about a particular item.
WHAT BENEFITS CAN YOU EXPECT FROM CONSIGNING WITH REPEAT!?
-
The benefits are considerable, especially compared to other methods of reselling, such as garage sales or classified ads.
-
Our method is hassle-free and maximizes your earnings potential.
-
Your merchandise is advantageously displayed in our high traffic store for 16 weeks, increasing its exposure to prospective buyers. As a result, the likelihood of earning a fair price is greatly enhanced. Indeed, buyers can easily see your items instead of having to second guess your classified ad, and no more strangers will call or come to your house.
-
We offer the best terms for the Consignor (from 50% to 60% of the resale price).
-
Our broad product line provides an opportunity to accumulate a wide range of goods to consign at one time and a place to earn even more money.
-
We even provide a pick-up service with our own truck.
WHAT DOES IT COST TO CONSIGN AND WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE SALES PRICE DO WE PAY YOU?
-
We charge a $5 per calendar year registration fee.
-
Your percentage of the sales price for a consigned item depends on each item?s individual selling price:
- up to $500.00, you earn 50%;
- between $500.01 to $1,000.00, you earn 55%;
- and for items selling above $1,000, you earn 60%.
-
The selling price may be less than the initial resale price (if markdowns are taken) and your split reduced accordingly!
-
There are no other charges or hidden costs of any kind!
HOW LONG DO WE KEEP CONSIGNED ITEMS?
WHAT DO WE DO WITH ITEMS AFTER THAT PERIOD?
WHO DECIDES THE RESALE PRICE?
DO WE HAVE A PLANNED MARKDOWN SCHEDULE TO
ENCOURAGE SALE OF YOUR ITEM?
-
We follow an organized markdown plan.
-
20% off from the original resale price after four weeks.
-
35% off from the original resale price after 8 weeks.
-
50% off from the original resale price after 12 weeks.

Although we follow this schedule strictly, when unique circumstances warrant (like true antiques or high value collectibles) we reserve the right to modify it.
WHEN DO WE ACCEPT CONSIGNMENTS?
- Monday through Friday 10 AM - 4 PM.
- For large drop-offs, we recommend you come well ahead of our
cut-off time for accepting consignments.
WHAT IS OUR PAYMENT POLICY?
-
Checks are issued on the 15th day of the month following
the month in which your product has sold.
-
Your check is automatically mailed (unless otherwise requested)
unless your monthly or cumulative pay-out is at or below $25,
in which case we invite you to the store for pick up.
DO WE PURCHASE GOODS OUTRIGHT?
-
Typically, no. However, in the case of an office, we welcome
an opportunity to bid.
WILL WE COME TO YOUR PLACE TO PICK-UP LARGE ITEMS ?
-
We provide a very reasonably priced pick-up service. All items
must be cleaned and ready to go when we arrive (large
pieces that cannot go through doorways must be disassembled
ahead of time). We restrict this privilege to bulky items that
cannot fit into a regular passenger car.
-
We also charge a minimum of $20 when required to go up any
stairs or elevators.
DO WE DELIVER?
DO WE ACCEPT CHECKS OR CREDIT CARDS?
-
We accept checks with a valid driver?s license (a $30 charge
will be assessed for all returned checks).
-
We do not accept temporary checks.
-
For amounts over $2,000, we require a certified check.
-
We accept Visa, Master Card or Discover credit cards.
DO WE OFFER LAYAWAY OR FINANCING?
DO WE ACCEPT RETURNS?
-
All sales are final and merchandise is sold "as is" and
"where is". No returns, refunds or exchanges are accepted.
Accordingly, you are invited to thoroughly check or test
items before purchasing. When unable to check on premises
that a given item works, we may, at our sole discretion,
offer you a written 24 hours money back guarantee, valid
only if said item would not work once at home.
ARE WE INSURED?
-
Yes, as most businesses, we are insured for some risks.
However, you must understand that we do not accept
any responsibility for consigned items for any cause
or reason whatsoever (fire, water damage, dents, scratches,
breakage, theft, disappearance...etc.). Accordingly, we
do not even insure your items in any way. If it is an important
concern to you, check the terms of your homeowners
insurance policy. It may extend coverage for your
off-premise properties. (11/07)
