How It Works

Selling online can be a headache. From finding the right price, to taking pictures, to navigating e-commerce platforms, and preparing sold packages for the mail, most individuals find they don't have enough time to dedicate to e-commerce selling. Let The Broad Run Consignment Cellar do the work for you! 

Step 1:
Let's Talk!

An initial phone conversation will establish the amount of items a client would like to consign, the type/size of said items, and a timeline for selling. It will also be agreed upon as to when these items will be delivered/picked up for consignment.

Step 2:
We'll Get to Work!

The Broad Run Consignment Cellar will inventory, research, and suggest pricing on items within five (5) business days. An itemized list with suggested pricing and which platforms are most appropriate will be provided to the client.  A client has three (3) business days to modify suggested prices and/or approve the listing prices.

Step 3
Sell!

 A six month contract for keeping goods will start on the first day of accepted listing fees. Items will be listed on agreed upon e-commerce platforms within the following five (5) business days (usually these platforms are Poshmark, Facebook Marketplace, eBay).

Step 4
Get Paid!

Each month clients are informed of their listed products/sales and will receive payout for sold items. During this time, clients will have the option to modify prices, offer sales, etc. Right now, payouts will be via Venmo, Paypal or cash. Check services will likely be offered in the future. After six (6) months, clients will receive their final payout and will retrieve their unsold items within three (3) business days. If a client does not wish to take back any unsold items, they will be donated to local organizations by The Broad Run Consignment Cellar. Clients can opt to 'relist' their inventory by paying an additional listing fee. 

Other Things to Note

*The Consignment Cellar takes a 50/50 split on consigned items. Some platforms take a higher cut of the price, so it does not always equal out to a complete 50% of the sold price. I'm happy to discuss the fees associated with each platform so you're aware of how much you'll be making from the sale of your items.  

​

*The Consignment Cellar keeps client inventory for a six (6) month period. Clients are more than welcome to 'relist' their items for another six months by paying the associated listing fee (see below).

 

*Listing fees are as follows: 

$10 per 12 gallon tote 

​​

Each client is assigned a 12 gallon clear tote by The Broad Run Consignment Cellar. Each tote provided to clients has a listing fee. Clients can fill their tote with any small accepted item (please visit the Accepted Items page). Totes must be able to close. 

​

*Handling/listing fees are calculated based on items and how much space they take up. Larger items (furniture, bicycles, etc.) have an additional listing fee. Please inquire if you have larger items you would like to sell.

Smaller items (clothes/household items), have the above mentioned listing fee. 

​

The Broad Run Consignment Cellar reserves the right to deny consignment of any item due to its condition, ability to sell in a timely manner or other factors.
