CONSIGNMENTS

We work together with our customers on selling brass models and artwork on consignment.

When they are received, we will inspect and test brass models for running performance, lights, paint quality and likewise examine the artwork. If needed, a lubrication will be done on the brass model.  We take multiple photos and list each piece separately on our website. The consignor is sent a Purchase Order, with a unique number for each consigned piece, to indicate we have received the model and the net proceeds you will receive upon sale.

The website will state that the model is "consigned". If a potential customer becomes interested in the model, the website may be updated to either "hold through ...." with a date, or sold. When we receive the proceeds in full, we will update your Purchase order to show the model as sold, no longer consigned and send the revised Purchase Order to you. We have the capability of sending these Purchase Orders to you via email as an attachment.

We also need to know from you if the proceeds are to be kept on account and transferred to your customer account for future purchases, or sent to you in the form of a check.

Our consignment terms are lower than the typical brass dealers at 20% or more.   For brass models, we charge a 20% commission on the selling price, with a minimum of $35US/$40Cad.   We do not consign plastic models.

When a consigned model is sold, we take our 20% consignment fee.    If the model is not sold and returned to the consignor, a processing fee is charged.  The processing fee is $35US/$40Cad. for each consignment model we handled that is being returned.  This fee is payable to us when your wish the models returned to you.   For example, if a consigned model is listed at $400US and sold, the consignor would receive a net amount of $320US.  Thus our total consignment fee is $80US.  If the model is not sold and returned to the consignor, then our processing fee is $35US, which is paid to us before the model is sent back to you.  The processing fee is charged to recoup our time and effort in trying to sell your model.

We require the model remain on consignment for a minimum period of 3 months with us. If the consignor wishes to take the model back within this time period, the full 20% commission fees are payable to us.

We accept Overland Models, Van Hobbies, Challenger, Division Point, Key, Toby or PFM/United in mint condition only.  

If you wish to consign models with us, please email us a listing. For brass models please show the manufacturer, model number if available, road name, type of model, paint details, etc. you will be sending and the net proceeds you would like to receive in your hands.

All models must be tested by the owner before shipping to ensure that they run properly.  In the event that we receive a model which does not run properly and fails our quality assurance test, we will contact the consignor.   We will give an estimate of the time and costs to perform any minor repairs.  Any major repairs will not be done and the model will be returned to the consignor.
