How often does Propstore run auctions for which I could consign an item?

We hold two Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auctions per year, one in the late spring/summer (roughly around June) and one in the fall (roughly around November).
If I consign an item for auction, am I responsible for shipping it to Propstore?

Yes. The consignor is responsible for all fees associated with shipping the item to us.
If I consign an item for auction, when will I get paid?

After an auction, we quickly send out invoices to our buyers. You are paid as we are paid. Please note, our buyers may choose to pay immediately or may choose to pay over a 3-payment plan which lasts a total of approximately four months. If the buyer selects a payment plan, you will still be paid incrementally as we receive payment from the buyer. Please note; we do not ship an item to the buyer until they have fully paid for it.
Does Propstore offer cash advances on consignments?

Sometimes. We offer cash advances, but these are determined on a case-by-case basis. To see if your item qualifies, please fill out our free, no-obligation valuation form today and let us give you our thoughts on what your item may be worth in the current market: https://propstore.com/sellRequest.action
Where can I see a dashboard of my consignments?

Our consignor portal is still a work-in-progress, but we are happy to answer any questions you have regarding your current consignments. Please feel free to email us at consign@propstore.com with questions.
Which Propstore location should I consign my items to?

Either! While we host one auction in London and the other in Los Angeles, our buyers are worldwide and do not discriminate. The successful auction of your item is equal regardless of which auction it appears in.
Does Propstore consider items in trade?

Sometimes. It is infrequent that we directly trade, but we MAY be willing to "buy" your item for store credit, allowing you to purchase the item you want. To see if your item qualifies, please fill out our free, no-obligation valuation form today and let us give you our thoughts on how we can help you get the item you want: https://propstore.com/sellRequest.action
Does Propstore purchase collections or estates?

Yes! To see if your collection qualifies, please fill out our free, no-obligation valuation form today and let us give you our thoughts on your collection: https://propstore.com/sellRequest.action
What are Propstore's consignment rates?

We have a standard consignment rate. It is our only fee for sellers! To learn more, please fill out our free, no-obligation valuation form today and let us give you our thoughts on what your item may be worth in the current market: https://propstore.com/sellRequest.action
What is a Seller's Premium?

Our Seller's commission is the fee we charge to the Seller for our services. This fee is a percentage of the "hammer price," which is the price upon which the auctioneer's hammer falls.
What is a Buyer's Premium?

Our Buyer's Premium is the fee added to the "hammer price," which is the price upon which the auctioneer's hammer falls. Our Buyer's Premium is 25%.
What happens if an item I consigned does not sell at auction?

While we have a spectacular sell-through rate, from time to time an item does not sell in auction. However, that is not the end of your opportunity! After each auction, we place items that have not sold on our website as "second chance opportunities." While unsold items are listed this way, we accept offers from potential buyers and pass those offers on to you for approval. If we get no offers on an unsold item during this period, we can offer the item via our website's BUY NOW platform at a fixed price. Unsold items may be returned to the consignor at the consignor's expense.
What are my options when selling through Propstore?

Before accepting your consignment, we must conduct a thorough in-hand review to confirm authenticity and valuation. Once our review is complete, we offer three options for bringing your item to the market:

Option #1: Consign to our Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction (EMLA).
Twice a year, we hold massive auctions (one in the spring in the US and one in the fall in the UK), which garner a tremendous amount of media attention and thousands of potential buyers. If you want the best possible chance for a more significant financial return, this is your best option. However, because we only hold these auctions twice a year, you may have to wait some time before we can sell your item.

Option #2: Consign to our Fixed Price (BUY NOW) system.
Once we agree on a sales price, we list your item on our website at that price. This option is suitable for items in the $750-$1,500 range.

Option #3: Sell to Us.
We may be willing to purchase your item directly. However, as this places all of the risks on us, this option is likely to net you the smallest return. This option is good if you need money NOW and don't want to wait for option #1 or #2.
How does the Consign for Auction process work?

Our consignment process is very straightforward. It starts with you submitting our free, no-obligation valuation form with the items you are interested in selling: https://propstore.com/sellRequest.action

We will reply with an evaluation of the items we believe we can help you sell, including reserves and provisional auction estimates.

Once we agree on reserves/estimates, you will send the items in, and we will perform an in-hand assessment and prepare your items for auction.

Once your item sells at auction and the buyer pays us, we pay you, minus our Seller's commission.

How does the Consign for Buy Now process work?

While we take in new items for our Buy Now platform, it is rare that we accept consignments for it (as you are more likely to get the best return from our auction platform.) If you think you would like to consign to our Buy Now platform please fill out our free, no-obligation valuation form today and let us give you our thoughts on what your item may be worth in the current market: https://propstore.com/sellRequest.action
I don't want to go through the consignment process. Will Propstore just buy my item directly?

Maybe! Please fill out our free, no-obligation valuation form today and let us give you our thoughts on what your item may be worth in the current market: https://propstore.com/sellRequest.action
I don't want to sell my items, but I would like to know what they are worth. Will Propstore provide a valuation even if I don't want to sell?

Yes! Please fill out our free, no-obligation valuation form today and let us give you our thoughts on what your item may be worth in the current market: https://propstore.com/sellRequest.action
I have replicas to sell. Can Propstore help me sell those?

Maybe! We rarely sell fan-made replicas, but we may be able to help you sell high-end collectible reproductions. Please fill out our free, no-obligation valuation form today and let us give you our thoughts on what your item may be worth in the current market: https://propstore.com/sellRequest.action
I have historical items to sell. Can Propstore help me sell those?

Doubtful. We sell props, costumes, and production items from the entertainment industry. We do not sell vintage or historical artifacts. Still not sure? It never hurts to ask! Please fill out our free, no-obligation valuation form today and let us give you our thoughts on whether or not we can help you sell it: https://propstore.com/sellRequest.action
My consignments don't come with COAs. Is that a problem?

Most likely, not. While a COA (Certificate of Authenticity) from a studio or an LOA (Letter of Authenticity) from a production member is always great to have and can increase the value of an item, in most cases, they are not necessary. Not sure about your item that doesn't have a COA? Please fill out our free, no-obligation valuation form today and let us give you our thoughts on whether or not we can help you sell it: https://propstore.com/sellRequest.action
I don't know the history of my items. Is that a problem?

The lack of history/provenance may be a problem, but this is a case-by-case issue. While a known chain of custody or history is always preferable, not knowing the history of an item isn't necessarily a problem. Not sure of your item's history? Please fill out our free, no-obligation valuation form today and let us give you our thoughts on whether or not we can help you sell it: https://propstore.com/sellRequest.action
