Repurposing Items Unwanted By One, Yet Desired By Another

The contracted consignment period is 120 days. For the purposes of documentation, the consignor receives an executed contract copy and an emailed listing sheet reflecting a description of all items consigned, the suggested pricing, and the expiry date of the contract. Consignors who do not have email access will receive the listing by mail. 

Once & Again has multiple pricing structures for consigned inventory: (a.) firm pricing with no reduction throughout the 120 day contract period (b.) a single 15% reduction in pricing throughout the 120 day contract period and (c.) a 15% reduction every 30 days throughout the 120 day contract period. Firm pricing is managed at the discretion of Once & Again and is based on the following: manufacturer, age, condition, and original pricing. 

At contract end, the remaining items can be renewed for an additional 120 day contract period,donated to one of our donate partners or returned to the consignor. If items are donated for the consignor, the receipt for tax purposes is sent to the consignor upon request.  For information on our donate partners, please see "The Community" page on this website.
