Pricing & Payment:

Consignment
We typically consign furniture, kitchen appliances, clothing, and items that we would resell for $20 or more. Our Intake Specialists will work with you to find a selling price that feels right to you and will work in our market.

Our consignment period is 70 days and you are paid after your consignment items sell. You will receive 40% of the selling price in check or 50% in store credit (less taxes, markdowns, and of discounts & sales not exceeding 15% off of the final sale price); this choice is made when you first consign your item(s) and cannot be changed at a later date. Store Credit cannot be converted to Cash or vice versa.

Consignments are marked down 20% after they have been here for 35 days.

Consignments that do no sell and are not reclaimed by their pick-up deadline are considered abandoned and become the property of Mimi's Attic. You are not compensated for abandoned items.

Buying Outright
We are selectively buying small items such as clothing, dishes, and décor “outright”. Rather than the items going on consignment, the seller receives 30% of what we expect to sell the items for in a check or 40% in store credit upfront.

If you are leaving Central New York, we may also be able to buy your furniture “outright”. Please reach out to our Intake team to discuss these arrangements ahead of time.

Out-of-Season items may also be purchased outright, though our offer will reflect the additional costs of storage.
