Consignments

The Consignment Process

1. Initial Review

Submit clear photos (front, back, both sides, base, under the head, and any flaws or damage) along with a brief description. The more detail you provide, the better we can evaluate your item.

2. Evaluation & Pricing Strategy

We assess authenticity, condition, rarity, and current market demand. A pricing strategy is agreed upon before any item is listed.

3. Shipment to Us

Once approved, items are shipped at the consignor's expense following the packing standards outlined below.

4. Professional Listing & Sale

Each piece is professionally presented with detailed descriptions and targeted exposure to serious collectors.

5. Payment

Funds are issued within 14 days after the sale is completed and payment has cleared.

Shipping & Handling Requirements

Proper packing is critical. These items are fragile, and the condition directly impacts value.

• Wrap the head and body separately using bubble wrap
• Use a rigid, high-quality box (double-box recommended for higher-value items)
• Place a foam ring (pool noodle) around the neck, or lightly pack inside the head with soft material (such as tissue) to limit movement
• Eliminate all internal movement—items must be fully secured
• Ensure the head is not bearing weight or pressure
• Ship with tracking and full insurance coverage

Important: Items that arrive damaged due to insufficient packing will be valued accordingly.

Consignment Terms

• Commission: 15% (Consignor receives 85% of the final sale price)
• Listing Period: 4 months
• Unsold Property: Returned upon request (return shipping at consignor's expense)

All terms are confirmed prior to acceptance.
