7 Mistakes to Avoid When Selling on Consignment
October 8, 2025
Selling on consignment is simple—but these common mistakes could cost you. Here’s what to avoid to get the most from your items.
1. Submitting damaged or dirty items
Even luxury brands won’t sell if the piece looks worn or uncared for.
2. Overpricing emotionally
Your vintage Gucci may hold sentimental value—but we price based on market trends.
3. Skipping authentication
Luxury buyers expect verified authenticity. Bring original receipts, boxes, or certificates if available.
4. Waiting too long to sell
Items lose value over time. List them when they’re still in demand.
5. Not researching your consignment partner
A trusted agency like Hidden Treasures provides visibility, marketing, and expert pricing.
6. Ignoring seasonal timing
Sell coats in fall, resort wear in spring—timing matters in resale.
7. Forgetting to ask questions
We’re here to guide you through the process. Communication ensures smooth sales and faster payouts.
Avoid these mistakes, and consignment can become one of your smartest financial moves.
