How does your consignment work?

Our goal at Hunt + Gather is to create a community of antique/vintage vendors (consignors) and artist/makers that value collaboration over competition.  We have developed a business model that allows us to bring together our talents and trades in a manner that is supportive – because we believe we all do better when we support each other. 

We are open one weekend a month kicking off with the third Thursday, creating an event style shopping experience with a new theme, complete store reset, and new merchandise each month.  

We have many different types of vendor/consignors:  

  • Consignors with just a few items and bring in additional items only as needed
  • Downsizing personal collections or managing an estate
  • Active vintage vendors who bring in items each month as a hobby or business

How it works:  Once we agree on the types of items you are going to sell, you make sure things are clean and prices listed (you set your prices) and just bring them in – no booth to set up, no staging, just drop them off and we will take it from there!  The items brought in will be staged with other vendor items throughout our almost 5,000 square foot showroom.  By mingling merchandise, we can create a more elevated shopping experience for our customers. 

Rates: We are commission only; no other fees or charges.  We charge 40% of the sales price; you receive 60%.  Consignment is a great alternative to rent – whether you are a beginner with a small inventory or a seasoned dealer with lots to sell – consignment takes all the worry out of covering rent each month – you only pay commission when your items sell.  

Sales/Proceeds: Sales reports are sent out a few days after our market weekend ends, and your proceeds are scheduled to pay out a few days later via direct deposit.
