Selling Estate Jewelry to Specialists Could Be Your Best Option
Here we will take a look at your option when you are selling your estate pieces.
Selling On Consignment
White Pine is an example of a specialized online buyer. These types of buyers offer a quick and simple process if you are selling direct to them. Their specialism means you will be able to sell a wide of items at current market prices. This route can be a much faster than consignment as you are selling direct and don't have to wait for your item to sell. Most consignment companies will require you send the item to them and hold it until it sells. Consigment also comes with high fees and no guarantee of a sale, good prices can be achieved but you will need to consider the downsides before selling.
Selling At Auction
Selling at Auction can be lucrative for items that carry a special history or are very high value and highly desireable to dealers. Auctions tend to be infrequent, take time to enter and come with high fees. Its a question of considering the timeframes and costs before proceeding down this route.
Selling On An Online Marketplace
This route can require the most effort as you are dealing with other consumers directly on sites the eBay, Etsy or Poshmark. What makes it even harder is that you are setting the price for your items without the experience or knowledge of what they are really worth on the second hand market. Its often the case that these marketplaces are populated by dealers looking for bargains so ensuring a fair transaction is often very challenging.
Selling To Your Local Jewelry Store Or Pawnshop
This can be an enticing option for many as you don't have to send your jewelry anywhere to sell it. Instead you get an offer in a meeting at the local store. There are some downsides however, most notably you are going to struggle to sell some items or get low offers if the pieces are not right for the shop to sell it back into the local market. Its the difference between local vs national pricing. A lot of items can't be sold at all locally as local shops won't take on the risk of having to resell them.
