FAQ’S

How does The Consign authenticate Luxury?

Our Experience

Authenticity is the foundation of THE CONSIGN. Created by the founders of High End, The Consign authentication specialists have over 5 years of authentication experience with over 200,000 items.

Our Process

Our authentication process follows industry best practices for authentication. Each item is handled with care and hand-checked by a Specialist. We verify the legitimacy of all labels, holograms, date codes, heat stamps, hardware, RFID tags, materials, and stitching. If the item passes this stage in the process, it is cross-checked for verification by our Authentication database or Entrupy.

Our Tools

Eligible handbags and accessories are authenticated using Entrupy. Entrupy is an authentication tool that uses AI and Machine Learning algorithms to authenticate luxury items. The accuracy rating of this system is 99.1% and if an item turns out to be fake Entrupy will cover the loss.

Which items are excluded from promotions and discounts?

Some of our most covetable items are not eligible for discounts based on current market value and demand. Items that do not qualify for discounts will have the phrase “Coupons and discounts are not available for this product” on their unique product pages. Only one promotional code can be used per order, and promotional discount codes cannot be combined with markdown items.

How is the condition defined?

THE CONSIGN provides the condition of an item to give a clear indication of the current state of an item. This is significant when determining the second hand price of an item. Our condition guidelines are: 

Original  (A++) 

The item is new or lightly used. The Item shows no signs of wear and may include original tags, dust bag, box and or authenticity cards where relevant.  

Excellent  (A+) 

The item is in excellent condition with unnoticeable signs of wear.  

Very good (A) 

The item has been used but very well taken care of. There are limited signs of wear and these will be described in detail and or visually acknowledged in the photos.  

Good (B+) 

The item has been used and has visible signs of wear. The item may have loose threads, a button missing or general aging from wear. All signs of use will be described in detail and or visually acknowledged in the photos.  

Used (B) 

The item has been well used and may have scratches, marks or other more obvious signs of wear. All imperfections will be described in detail and or visually acknowledged in the photos.

How much money do I earn from selling my item?

HOW DO YOU PRICE ITEMS?

Our goal is to sell your items at the highest possible price within 30 days. Coupled with the condition of the item, market demand and value, our expert team determines the pricing based on four factors:

Designer & Item Type

Items from top designers and heritage brands tend to retain the highest resale value. Some top-selling designers with high resale value include Chanel, Hermes, Gucci, Cartier, and Rolex. Handbags, watches and fine jewellery are some of our top items that retain resale value.

Age

The more recent your items are, the higher the resale value they will have, especially for on-trend items.

Colour

Pieces in classic colours or on-trend, seasonal colours will earn you more.

 

How long do you hold my items for before returning them to me?

We consign your items for 92 days (3 months). When this time is over, we will either send your item back to you or ask if you would like to continue selling with us.

How much will my items be discounted?

We try to sell your items for the highest possible value within 2 months. In the 3rd month, for items under $1,000, your items may be discounted up to 35%.
