That's right, boys and girls: again this year, we're taking your consignments! The basic info is at left, but here are the particulars for this year:

We begin accepting your consignments JULY 5. While we'll show the instrument to someone who is looking for what you're selling before the sale, the item(s) will not be displayed UNTIL the sale.

Also, we have to stress this each year: put your bottom line price on the item. If you give us a "range" we will tag the item at the high end of the range and hope for the best. It's too hectic to do anything else.

CLEAN IT. We've had customers consign band instruments with dead bugs in the case. Trust me, neither I nor any of the staff will be removing carcasses from your consignment, and believe me when I tell you it's a turn off.

Finally, yes, you can bring an item in after the sale has started, but 60% of the sales go out in the first three hours. Snooze and lose, dudes.

NEW THIS YEAR:

If your consignment doesn't sell , we can also list it in our ebay outlet store for either a one week auction or a 30-day "fixed price" (AKA "Buy It Now") listing. If you opt to do this, and it sells, the store's 10% commission comes off the top and your proceeds will also be reduced by ebay commission and Paypal fees. (fees vary depending on selling price, but expect another 10-15%.) We'll do the photos and compose your listing. Proceeds available 2 weeks after the sale closes.

We are an ebay Power and Top-Rated seller, so our listings are higher profile than those of a casual ebayer. If you'd like to try ebay without getting your hands dirty, we can help.

SLATED TO APPEAR:
We've been hearing from people for months about what they want to bring in for the sale, but RECENTLY we've gotten in guitars, keyboards, flutes, piccolo, cornet, and some "oddities". If you're planning to bring your orphaned instrument in, now's the time!
