Consignment Process Overview
At Diamonds by Raymond Lee, we deliver premier consignment services, which are tailored to assist individuals in selling their luxury items, including diamonds, jewelry, watches, and more. If you have high-end assets that you want to turn into cash, consignment is an excellent way to do it with little hassle and a strong likelihood of netting you a top-dollar return. Our experts offer the kind of personalized service and guiding hand that enables many of our customers to reap the rewards of that previously mentioned “no-hassle, high-value” promise. In this comprehensive guide, we will cover the basics of our consignment services and help you understand both the process of consigning with us and the potential payoffs.
What is Consignment?
When you consign an item, you place it with a trusted retailer or dealer, who sells the item for you. In return, the seller takes a commission. For expensive luxury items like high jewelry and timepieces, consignment is a perfect solution to achieve the sales your items merit. Instead of relying on direct sales or auction platforms, consignment lets you work with experts, who discreetly market your items and ensure they find the right buyers.
Why Choose Consignment at Diamonds by Raymond Lee?
We at Diamonds by Raymond Lee know that although selling treasured belongings is often a profitable venture, it can also be a highly emotional one. Whether you’re downsizing, liquidating, or just looking to get a better return on an item, our consignment services present numerous profitable and convenient options. Here are five reasons to use us for your next luxury item sale:
1. Expert Pricing and Market Knowledge
The high-end item pricing constantly evolves, and pricing the most luxurious goods—like diamonds, watches, and designer jewelry—takes true expertise. At Diamonds by Raymond Lee, we know the luxury goods market very well. We keep a watchful eye on the latest trends, and we know what items are selling for today, which makes us very well qualified to price your good accurately and fairly. We use a lot of different factors to nail down the price, including condition (yours is mint), rarity (never seen one like it), and just topline brand value (what’s a good to you and the rest of the market?).
2. Access to a Trusted Network of Buyers
Private sales of luxury items can be difficult. At Diamonds by Raymond Lee, we have an extensive network of buyers who depend on us for top-of-the-line jewelry, watches, and other luxury goods. When you consign your items, you’re selling by proxy to an exclusive network of buyers. That alone better positions your items to find not just any buyer but one whose willingness to pay a fair and competitive price matches your expectations. We work fast, and our market of serious buyers both facilitate your sale and ensure your items don’t languish on the market.
3. Increased Selling Price
Selling your diamonds by consigning with us can often yield a much higher return than selling them directly. We furnish you with access to a top-tier market. Our state-of-the-art marketing strategies serve to elevate your pieces to the levels of which they ought to be. We tend to all of the sale’s intricacies, from the item in question’s photography to the very real possibility of the aforementioned piece being showcased at a high-end auction, all the while maintaining our practice of handling your items with absolute care.
4. No Upfront Costs
In contrast to conventional retail sales, where you might have to pay fees in advance, consignment selling through Diamonds by Raymond Lee entails no initial outlay. You pay only a commission when your item sells. This means that it is a no-risk way to sell luxury items. You do not pay anything up front, nor do you shell out any secret amounts that you are unaware of until the sale has been made.
5. Full Transparency and Professional Support
We pride ourselves at Diamonds by Raymond Lee on keeping the consignment process transparent. Our clients are kept informed every step of the way, from the initial evaluation of their items to the final sale.
