Consignment Guidelines:
Last Updated: 17 May 2015
Items sold on this website as consignment items will do so
under the following rules:
- The cost of consignment is:
- Items under $100: $10
- Items priced $100 - $2000: 10%
- Items priced greater than $2000: 7%
- Unlike in the
rest of the site, shipping is included in the price. Shipping will be
direct from the Consignor to buyer so in some cases it may be difficult to
combine shipping but we will if we can.
- We will control
items in this section for quality, accuracy and value to the best of our ability
but all issues requiring any form of resolution will be between Consignor and
seller.
- Once the
Consigned item is received in good order by the buyer, we will pay the Consignor
his monies from the sellers payment. After that, we will have no further
involvement in the transaction and any further discourse or issues arising from
the item will have to be handled between Consignor and buyer directly.
-
We did not set this site up to be a Consignment site or trading place for
others,but we will offer this as a service selectively to help collectors find
and trade good items.
- We will refuse
to list items that we feel are not consistent with this site's core collecting
areas, overpriced or misrepresented. Although these are not our items,
we realize that to some extent this section reflects on us. We have been
in this hobby too long building our knowledge bases and reputations to let folks
misuse that for the extemely nominal fee we charge which covers only the time
associated with listing items and all the hassles that entails. This fee does
not allow for us to take responsibility for the goods should an issue arise or
they be lost or damaged in shipping. Insurance fees and claims will be the
responsibility of the Consignor and buyer.
- We will limit
quantity in this section and rotate pieces out if they do not move. We do not
want this site to be overtaken by consignment pieces and we also want to keep it
fresh. Keeping new pieces appearing here is a major reason why we are accepting
consignments in the first place as we are not relic dealers, have other main
jobs, and there is a limit to how much inventory we can make available from our
collections or in the course of acquiring pieces.
-
We reserve the right to remove any consignment piece from this web site for any
reason we want.
Thank you for your understanding of this as it is something of a delicate and
evolving situation. Please feel free to eMail one of
us if you have questions about Consignment.
