Catalog / Consigning
Bring it in, we'll sell it, you get paid when it moves.
How consignment works here
You keep ownership. We take the item in, clean it up, photograph it, write it up, put it in the catalog and deal with the buyers. When it sells, we take our commission, subtract any prep work you agreed to, and cut you a check for the rest.
Everything is on paper before we touch it: what it is, what it's worth, the lowest number you'll take, how long we hold it, and exactly which fees apply. You get a copy. No surprises at payout.
Titled vehicles are different
Cars, trucks, motorcycles and RVs are handled as a brokered sale, not a consignment. The title stays in your name, you sign it over to the buyer yourself, and the buyer's money goes to you directly. We do the marketing, the photos, the phone calls and the showings, and we charge for that work rather than taking a cut of your sale.
Selling vehicles you don't own is dealer activity in Ohio, and Ohio law limits how many vehicles change hands before a dealer license is required. Until ours is in place, titled goods stay in the owner's name from start to finish.
