"When do I get paid and how much?"
You'll receive 50% of the agreed-upon selling price, while The Missing Piece® handles all the legwork. Even better, your earnings are sent to you automatically on the 10th of every month for the previous month's sales. To review your sales, simply click the "Check Consigned Pieces" link at the top of this page, enter your state, select either the Tampa or Clearwarer (Palm Harbor) location and provide your consignor ID along with your last name. (Your consignor ID was emailed to you along with your Received Report.)
"Will you pick up my furniture?"
Certainly! Your pickup will be managed by a licensed and bonded moving company. A pickup fee is determined based on your distance from the store and the quantity of items being collected. Rest assured, all fees will be clearly discussed and confirmed when scheduling the pickup. Typically, pickups can be arranged within 1-4 days from the time of your call.

"What Type of Furniture Do You Consign?"
We gladly accept gently used furniture and accessories that have been cared for with love. What we don’t take is as follows:
➢ Upholstery with tears, stains, scratches, or any animal hair. (If upholstery requires cleaning and we agree to handle it, there will be a cleaning fee plus a 25% surcharge.)
➢ Furniture that has been broken and re-glued, unless repaired by a professional
➢ Particle board furniture that shows signs of disintegration or chipping
➢ Furniture with persistent cooking odors or smoke smells, as they're tough to remove
➢ Furniture with water damage, loose veneer, deep scratches, extensive discolorations, sun-fading, or other noticeable imperfections
➢ Beds missing rails or hardware, headboards without frames, beds with broken components, or those that have been altered. We cannot accept mattresses and box springs, except for futons and sleeper sofas.
➢ As a general guideline, no upholstery over 12 years old
➢ As a general guideline, no bedroom furniture without at least 3 matching pieces
When will you hear back?
As quickly as we can do the research. We strive for 2-3 days. Sometimes there are so many requests we don’t reach our goal. You can always call the store if there is an urgency.
