How We Work
Consignment split:
Residential furnishings:
55% to Consignors. 45% to Of Things Past.
Prices on merchandise are held firm for 60 days. Thereafter, prices will be reduced as follows:
15% after 60 days
10% every 30 days thereafter
After 6 months items will be priced at our discretion.
Merchandise remains the consignor's until sold.
The consignor may take back merchandise at any time, however items must be picked up within one week as storage charges will apply. After one year, unsold items may be donated.
There is a $20 appraisal fee for home appointments, which is refunded on the consignor's first cheque.
Cheques are created the first week of the month following the sale of merchandise and mailed to the consignor.
Administration fee: $2 on cheques under $100, $5 on cheques over $100.
Delivery of the merchandise to our showroom is the responsibility of the consignor. We will be pleased to recommend reliable and reasonable movers.
