Yup! .. every time I have consigned something, it has been after I have met with them in-person (I'm in LA) and they give me estimates such that I can decide on what to commission. Also note that the higher the cost of the item, you will get a higher percentage .. but they are super fussy re: brands.

I just snagged a gorgeous Bay Spy bag in pristine condition. It came perfectly wrapped and I was extremely happy with their service and selection. Their description of the bag was "very good", but I say they were being cautious, as it was in excellent condition.
Hi everyone! I just saw a pair of sunglasses and thinking of buying. Anyone know how often they markdown their items? Thanks!
It's generally in 60 days, unless the seller wants to discount them sooner. However, the seller always has the option to also NOT discount the item after those 60 days.
Hi all -
I know that there is another thread on TRR, but I just got an email from them indicating that they now want folks to "update" their Account information to include their Social Security # and Birth Date!!!
It did reference consignor payments, so does this mean that they are now going to report your sales to the IRS and State?
First of all, I recall someone on TPF indicating that their information w/in TRR was "stolen", so the last thing I want to do is to provide this highly sensitive information!
I know with eBay, there is a certain amount that (if you sell w/in a month - I believe?) .. they have to report it to the IRS, etc., so wouldn't this be the same?
On another note .. SHEESH, this really bums me out .. it's like you can't sell anywhere without now getting hit on any "income" that you may make!!! You bought the item in the first place, you then want to re-sell it, and now .. BAM, you not only had to pay Sales Tax, but now you get "hit" again .. THIS STINKS!!!

Hi I have TRR account and have not received that email. I would absolutely refuse to provide that info.
This could be a phishing email. I’d go directly to the site and see . Don’t click on any links
I also have a TRR account and I have not received an email asking for that info. I would contact them.
I just went into my account to see if there is something like this for me to fill out. I don't see anything.
I did remove my cc after reading about someone else's account being compromised on here. I have a love\hate relationship with TRR. I don't trust them completely, but so far I have not had any of the problems so many others have.

Have any of you ever sold anything on TRR? I have, so I'm wondering if they want this information for tax reasons - e.g., if you sell over $x amount, they would send the IRS and you the tax form??? Uggh .. HATE THAT!
Yes exactly, if you make profit (income) over X they need to issue a 1099 and need your social.
