Consignment

What is consignment?

This is where you can send me your items to sell on my page for you. You will show me what you are wanting to sell, and I will make you an offer on those items.

How it works

Start by sending me an email with the template below. I will let you know if I would like to help you sell your items and how much I would pay you. Then you will ship them to me. I will provide a prepaid label for you to ship your item, which will be factored into the offer I am giving you. If you do not have a printer and would prefer to take the items directly to USPS or UPS, I will not include this in my offer.

Once I receive your items and verify they are authentic and as described, I will pay you the agreed upon amount. This payment can be received through Zelle, directly to your bank account.

What items we're looking for

For consignment to be worth the time and effort for both of us, I am picky with what items I accept.

  • Designer handbags (including both vintage and modern)
  • Name brand shoes
  • Vintage jewelry (costume, sterling, and fine jewelry) that is currently trendy. If you have a lot of this, you don't need to send every individual item. Just some highlights and overall general condition of the pieces.
  • Clothing with high resale value. I will not take most clothing. I am very picky and will likely only take high-end brands, materials, or styles.
  • Items you frequently see me sell on my page
  • Items with very minimal flaws

The idea behind consignment is to bring your high-value items to the table, and I will give you a cash offer instead of you having to take the time to sell them yourself. I am honestly not interested in 20 items from Zara that are no longer in style. This will work best if you have trendy items!

Additional Info

  • Consignment is mainly open to the US, unless you are willing to pay shipping from another country (which can be expensive).
  • If I receive your item and it is in a different condition than advertised or it is not authentic, you will need to cover both the shipping cost I initially paid and the cost of shipping it back to you. If you do not provide payment within 30 days, I will donate your item on your behalf.

Email Template:

My email is contact@fastisinthepast.com. Please make the subject of the email "Consignment: (Your Name)". Here is what you should include in your email:

Your name, email, and phone number

Brief statement that you confirm you have read through all of the rules on this page

Short description of the items you have including their condition and any flaws, what size they are, and any other relevant information

Pictures that clearly show the items, any flaws, and any relevant size or authentication tags. These can be attached to the email, or through an outside link from Google Drive or Box.

If you would like me to send a discounted prepaid label, or if you will be shipping them yourself.

If you have any questions about this process, please don't hesitate to reach out! You can email us at contact@fastisinthepast.com.
