How do I begin the consignment process?
To get started, email photos to dfgoutlet@gmail.com or text images to 727-266-0221 for review.

We typically respond within 24–48 hours to let you know if there is a market for your pieces.

Do I need an appointment to consign?
No appointment is required, but we recommend calling ahead to check availability before stopping by.

Who sets the price of an item?
Consignment is a partnership. While we value your input, our team sets the final price based on market demand and experience.

When will I get paid for sold items?
Checks are prepared and mailed between the 15th and 30th of the following month the items sell. Local consignors are encouraged to pick up their checks in-store.

Is there a fee if my item doesn’t sell?
No, there is no fee if your item does not sell.

Can I pick up my item before the consignment period ends?
We ask that items remain in our showroom for the full 120-day consignment period. If you choose to remove an item early, a storage fee will be applied based on the number of days it was displayed.

 

Purchase Questions

Do you offer delivery?
Yes, we work with a third-party delivery and pickup service. Pricing typically ranges from $95 to $210 depending on distance, number of items, stairs, and other factors.

Do I have to take my item home immediately after purchase?
No, we offer 5 days of free storage. After that, a $10 per day storage fee will apply.

Do you have staff in store to help load purchased items?
We do not have staff available to load items into your vehicle. However, we do provide dollies for your convenience if you would like to take your purchase the same day.

If the item requires disassembly, we are happy to coordinate a day and time for you to return. Our team will have the item disassembled and ready for easy pickup when you arrive.

About Our Consignment Process

1. SEND US YOUR PHOTOS/ EVALUATION PROCESS - Before we get started we need to be sure that your merchandise is salable. To do this, we ask to send photos of your items to our email dfgoutlet@gmail.com or you can text photos to our google number, 727-266-0221. 

Evaluation: Style, Condition, Living Environment (We only accept items from smoke-free homes and if your furniture is upholstered, the home must also be free from pets.)

2. DROP OFF & PICK UP SERVICES - DFG is happy to offer a convenient, fee-based pick-up service for our consignors. The fee is determined by the number of items, your location, and the overall difficulty of the move. This fee can be paid upfront or taken out of the first sale of your items.

Consignors may also make an appointment to deliver approved items to our showroom.

3. PRICING OF ITEMS - We determine the starting price of each item based on several factors, including: Original Purchase Price, Age, Condition, Name Brand

4. GETTING PAID - OUR CONSIGNORS RECEIVE 50% OF THE SELLING PRICE THE FIRST 60 DAYS, AND 40% OF THE SELLING PRICE THE LAST 60 DAYS. With all that said, it is always our goal to sell your item as quickly as possible for as much money as we can.

Once an item sells, Checks will be issued monthly after the 15th for the prior month (i.e. an item sold in July will be paid in August).. Customers must call to inquire about sold items and claim payment, checks will be valid for 180 days. Checks are available for pick-up or can be mailed to the consignor.
