CONSIGNMENT What We Accept & Typically Pass On
What We Accept
We accept a wide range of collectibles, but every item must have proven resale demand and must make sense based on value, condition, storage space, shipping cost, and the time required to research and sell it properly.
We primarily sell on eBay, so pricing and acceptance decisions are based on:
• Sold listings
• Average sold prices
• Active listings
• Sell-through trends
We do not base value on asking prices.
What We Mean By Resale Demand
Resale demand means an item not only has value, but sells consistently over time.
• Many listed, few sold → weak demand
• Some sell-through → moderate demand
• Sold listings close to active listings → strong demand
We prioritize items that sell regularly, not items that sit.
General Value Rules
Most individual items should have a resale value of around $25 or more to be sold individually.
Items between $10 and $20 will NOT be sold individually, but may still be accepted if they:
• Have real demand
• Can be grouped into strong, sellable lots
Items that sell for $10 or less are not accepted or purchased.
This applies to:
• Consignment
• Buyouts
• All categories
Condition Requirements
All items must be clean and ready to be listed.
We do not accept:
• Dirt
• Cobwebs
• Bugs
• Sticky residue
• Heavy grime
• Mold or mildew
• Moisture damage
• Strong odors
Light dust is acceptable (not preferred).
Heavy dust will NOT be accepted.
Shipping & Storage
• Smaller items are preferred
• Heavy items must justify shipping
• Oversized items may be sold locally
