Bring the items we are taking on the scheduled days. Make sure everything is marked with your consignment number, and have your contract completed. Have a Guild Shop representative sign to acknowledge receipt. We will price your items as soon as possible and merchandise them on the floor. Once they sell, you will receive payment the following month. We issue consignment checks once per month. They are available starting on the 15th of each month for the prior month’s sales. If you have not picked your check-up by the last day of the month, we mail it to you. Please make sure you keep your address, phone number, and email address current.

Appropriate pricing is discussed among the skilled valuers at The Guild Shop and the client. Extensive industry knowledge and research are utilized with consideration of other factors; for example, original purchase price, age of product, condition, and demand for these pieces on the secondary market. We also maintain an extensive database that allows us to see what similar items sold for.
