I'm interested in consignment. How do I start the process?
The first step in our consignment process is simple: snap some photos of your items! You can send those photos by email to courtoftwosistersantiques@gmail.com or by text message to (727)-934-9255, along with any pertinent information you know about your items. We'll take a look at the photos, and if it's something we'd like to put in the store, we will get into contact with you!
Keep in mind: Photos first! Do NOT bring your items to the store for first looks; we will contact you when we want to have your items brought over. We want to save you and us the energy!
How do you price my items?
Consignment is a partnership, and we strive to get you the highest possible price for your merchandise. However, it is in everyone's best interest to price items at a fair market value that will realistically sell within 30 days. The consignment period at C.O.T.S. is 120 days (4 months), but just like you, we want to get your items sold as quick as we can! If your item remains unsold after the initial 30 days, it will be reduced by 10% after every subsequent 30 day period that your item remains unsold, up to a 40% discount, until the 120-day consignment period is over.
How much will I get paid, and when will I receive it?
At C.O.T.S, we do a 50/50 split for consignment, and we make the process easy breezy! We send your money out at the end of each month, along with an itemized list of what was sold of yours for the previous month, and for how much.
I'm not able to bring in my items myself. What can I do?
Don't worry, we're happy to help! If you need help hauling in your items, let us know, and we can set you up with some assistance from us, or from one of our recommended licensed, insured moving companies. All of these fees will be discussed and confirmed at the time that your pick-up appointment is set. Pick-ups usually can be scheduled for within 1-4 days of calling.
Can I bring in my items?
To save you time and energy, we only offer consignment quotes through email or phone. Once you have heard back from us with a quote on your items, we will arrange with you an appointment to bring your items in. We arrange drop-offs by appointment ONLY. To schedule, please call (727)-934-9255.
What things do you consign?
We take gently, lovingly, used furniture and décor. Some items we are especially interested in are midcentury, contemporary and modern furniture, artwork, lamps, and unique collectibles.
