Our Pricing Strategy
We follow industry standard when setting prices. Typically pricing will be set at 1/3 of the retail value. Items will range from 30% - 50% of the original retail value dependent on the condition and style of the item. Thereafter, a 60 (store)/40 (consignor) split will occur on the profit of the items sold.
You will get paid via cash, electronic payment (Paypal or Venmo), or by check after the item has sold. We also have the option for you to use your profit from items sold as a store credit. This is a customer favorite, because you are able to use your money to purchase something in store or online and receive an additional 10%.
The consignment period ends 60 days from the date the items are place on the floor. It is the customer’s responsibility to keep track of their consignment expiration date(s), which is located under your consignor's account item tab. As a consignor, you receive complimentary access to your Consignment account. This access allows you to easily check your account and to review details of your account, including consignment periods and account balances. Items older than 60 days are not available for pickup. You must notify staff of your request to pickup up any unsold items 24 hours prior to the pick up date. Otherwise, the items become the property of New Digz Consignment, LLC.
At New Digz, we are keenly aware of the delicate balance between getting the most for our consignors by selling your items at full price, and maintaining the highest value for our customers. We will consistently strive to maintain that balance; however, if after 30 days, your items remain unsold, we will markdown the items 25% to 50% dependent on item. Please note: Management also reserves the right to hold special sales that may occur prior to the 30 day consignment period.
Please note: We will do our best to safeguard your items, but all consignments are left at the owner's risk. New Digz Consignment is not responsible for damage, theft and/or loss.
