Consignworks, Inc.
About Consignworks, Inc.
ConsignWorks is New England's largest and most trusted estate and moving sale company. Since 2001, we have proudly served the Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts communities. As the area's largest professional estate sale company, we run 80-100 moving and estate sales, and non-profit fundraising events each yearright here in New England. (96 completed in 2012 already!) Our sales span everything from antiques to modern and contemporary furniture, decor and furnishings, average homes to the largest estates.
Why is Consignworks different? Selling furniture, home furnishings, antiques and quality items IS our full-time business--we know our markets and buyers as well as the items we sell. We handle estates with antiques and collectibles as well as those with contemporary furnishings.
Our own experienced, knowledgeable, and professional staff personally handle each estate sale. Our own staff of 9 full-time and 14 part-time specialists have years of experience in a variety of areas, so you can be sure your items are properly identified, and your sale expertly managed. Our "bench" is deep with experience, and our sales are properly staffed, with 5 to 24 associates per sale, and with one or more cashiers and our own movers. Employees are bonded to $30,000, and we have complete ($2MM) and comprehensive insurance for general liability, workmen's comp, theft, fire, damage and more. Mass license #AU3081. We happily issue an insurance binder upon request.
We design a custom online picture gallery for each sale so buyers can easily view sale items and descriptions. We accept credit cards and checks, which results in higher sales results, and our sell-through rates are typically 80-99% for each sale. Our references are UNMATCHED, and we are highly recommended by top realtors, move managers, estate clients and buyers.
Our estate sale process is professional, and comprehensive, and completely transparent-from fully documented inventories and price schedules, individual invoices for each sale, fully-staged, fully tagged sales (yes, we tag everything), donations and furniture pickups, cleanouts and more. Pricing is fully disclosed and documented to clients before (an inventory schedule with prices) ,during and afterthe sale. Each client receives a full accounting, line-by-line, by sales receipt, of each and every item sold (from $1 or even 50 cents!) within 5 business days. No other company provides this level of detail and transparency.
We NEVER enhance sales by bringing in other items such as jewelry or memorabilia--we are here to sell YOUR items only. Neither do we buy-out estates at the end of the sale. We also work with our clients to identify items for optional post-sales, donations or disposal. We are A+ BBB-certified, Mass Licensed, an eBay REDOL, Powerseller and Trading Assistant and have a staff that specializes in antiques, art, fine furniture, china, pottery and glass and other items. As a local company, our staff are members of various antiques, collectibles and civic organizations and active within non-profit auction and fund-raising events in Wellesley, Wayland and metro Boston.
We are much more than an estate sale company! We operate a full-staffed, 11,000 sq foot retail store that accepts fine antiques and quality art pottery, china and glass consignments. Sometimes, estate sales do not find the right buyer for a special item, a work of art, or fine antique, and should never be liquidated for a quick sale. We will find the right buyer or channel for you, whether it is us, auction houses, on-line marketplaces, consignment stores, specialty shops and dealers.
Did you know that Consignworks furnished two movie sets in 2010 (including Dreamworks!), was chosen by the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum to resell their museum store items, by the Spookyworld developer to run his mega estate sale? We were also selected to run the magnificent estate sale of the Nightingale Inn in Wenham/Beverly with over 15,000 sq ft of furnishings. We were also selected to handle the estate of Daphne Farago of Little Compton, whose collections are featured in the Farago wings at the MFA and RISD, and whose collections of Americana, Contemporary Art, and Jewelry are documented in numerous catalogs and books?
We are about worry-free, prompt and professional resale services backed by years of experience. Our multiple-market strategy, and extensive background in antiques and vintage items, estate sales management and item resale, assures our clients of the best resale value and the proper management.
