How do you price my items?

Consign On A Dime strives to get you the highest possible price for your merchandise, however, we also strive to price items at a realistic, fair market value that will sell within 30 days.

We practice ‘full disclosure’ by showing our customers the markdowns in the future. This practice brings our customers back more often and we get greater foot traffic and subsequently a better value for you and your items. Your items are carefully placed in appealing setting to maximize its value. Factors such as current demand, design trends, uniqueness, current inventory, condition of item (age, color, etc.) as well as the price you paid, go into deciding the price of an item.
