Guidelines
*** All items need to be freshly cleaned & ready for retail display. ***
In order to attract buyers for all of our consigners, it is important to have the right products in the right condition. Here is how we grade items to determine acceptance and pricing:
-
Grade A
New with or without tags, items with original packaging or barely used with no blemishes, stains, or wear & tear. These items are recognized recognized brands with strong buyer demand.
These items will typically be priced at 75%-80% of retail pricing.
-
Grade B
These are gently used items that may show some general wear or scuffs but still has a long usable life. These are name brand, quality items.
These items will typically be priced at 50-60% of retail pricing or less.
-
Grade C
These are well-used items, there may be some life left but these are generally not a condition we would accept for consignment. Discount brands are usually not accepted for consignment.
We are able to donate items we are not able to sell to local barns.

The consignment period is 180 days, or 6 months. If you wish to cancel consignment of any or all of your items, you are free to do so. We typically need 48 hours to gather your items and prepare for pickup.

Unsold Items

- You have the option to pick up your items. Items must be picked up within 7 days of notification due to our small space.
- Or you can choose to donate them to a local equine charity or group who is in need.
When You Will Be Paid
Consigners will be paid after the 5th of the month after items sell. The exception would be for saddles sold and shipped out of area and are subject to a 5 day return policy. Those sales will be paid the next payout period after the 7 day return period expires, plus shipping time.
How You're Paid
Consigners have three primary options for receiving payment from the sale of items:
- In store credit: When selecting this option, you will receive and additional 10% added to your owed amount. For example, a $40 payout would result in $44 in store credit.
- Digital check: If you elect to receive your payment via check, your eCheck will be emailed to you by the 5th of the month. You can print your check and deposit right away rather than waiting for delivery by USPS.
- Electronic deposits: Our payment processor offers additional electronic options if you choose to register with them and pay the appropriate fee. We do not control this fee and do not regulate this payment in any way.
- Our payment processor is Deluxe, who was founded in 1915. They have a long, distinguished history.
- Here is a short video about our payment options.
Saddle Trials
All saddles are available for saddle trials, both local and nationally. These trials end in a sale an average of 70% of the time.
Saddles which are out for non-local trials may have delayed payment as the customer is allowed up to 5 days to return saddles from trial. If this occurs, checks for eventual trial sales will be paid the following month.
Types of Payment
-
1) Digital Check
Your check is emailed to you by Deluxe, our payment processor. You simply click to open the check, print and then deposit as you normally would. No delay for snail mail. This is our default option.
-
2) Store Credit
When you choose store credit, we add your settlement amount plus 10% to your store account. This credit is available online or in store purchases.
* Credit cannot be turned to cash at a later date.
