A Smart Way To Buy, The Best Way To Sell


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:
    • weapons for security and licensing reasons
    • bedding (mattresses and box springs) because prohibited 
      by law.
    • 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?

  • Our agreement is for a sixteen week consignment period
    (about 4 months). Items cannot be picked until the 16 week
    period has ended.

WHAT DO WE DO WITH ITEMS AFTER THAT PERIOD?

  • Your consignment contract requests that you choose one of two
    options to dispose of any items unsold after 16 weeks:
    • Clearance: you may leave your unsold expired items at Repeat! authorizing us to sell them for whatever we
      choose to (and ultimately to donate them if they have
       been in the store for six months). If sold you will recieve
      your regular share of the proceeds (50% to 60%). Feel free
      to pick-up at any expired items at any time.
    • Pick-up: you agree upfront to pick up all unsold expired
      items within two weeks of the expiration date on your
      consignment agreement. It is your sole responsibility to
      keep track of the expiration term and to collect your
      merchandise at the store. Please note that all unsold
      merchandise not picked up within this two-week "grace"
      period will be considered abandoned and automatically
      become Repeat's property
      .

WHO DECIDES THE RESALE PRICE?

  • We set the price together with three simple rules of thumb!
    • the maximum initial resale price must not exceed                

      two thirds of what you originally paid.

    • the condition of your item.

    • the market demand is also considered. We will assist          

      you in estimating the fair market value of your items. 

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?

  • We offer a very reasonably priced delivery service. Call for rates.

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?

  • We do not offer layaway for consigned items.
  • For new furniture only, we do offer layaway (up to 60 days)         

    and do not offer 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)
