Consigning vs. Selling: Which Option is Best for You?

Consigning vs. Selling: Which Option is Best for You?

If you’re looking to part with gently used furniture, you might be wondering whether to consign or sell outright. We offer both options to suit different needs. Understanding the differences can help you decide which works best for you!

Consignment: A Profit-Sharing Approach

Consignment is a great choice if you’re not in a hurry to sell and want to maximize your earnings. Here’s how it works:

  • We post your furniture on our website and selling platforms: Your item gets the exposure it needs to find the right buyer.

  • No hassle for you: We take care of marketing, pricing, setting up appointments, and selling your furniture—so you don’t have to.
  • You get paid when it sells: Once your piece finds a new home, we take a commission, and you receive the rest of the sale price.

  • Better earnings potential: Since your item is priced at market value, you may earn more than an outright sale.

Selling to Us: Quick & Easy Cash

If you prefer immediate cash and want a guaranteed sale now, selling directly to Village Furniture is the better option. Here’s how it works:

  • Instant payment: We assess your item and make you an offer on the spot.

  • No waiting period: You don’t have to wait for someone to buy it—we purchase it upfront.

  • Hassle-free process: We pick it up (or you can drop off), and we handle the rest!

  • Lower payout than consignment: Because we take on the risk of reselling, the price we offer is typically lower than what you might receive through consignment.

Which One Should You Choose?

  • If you want cash fast and don’t want to wait for a buyer, selling outright is the best choice.

  • If you’re willing to wait and want the potential for a higher payout, consignment is the way to go.

No matter what option you choose, Village Furniture makes the process smooth and straightforward. Have a piece you’re looking to sell or consign? Get in touch with us today!
