Evidence‑based consignment: how to improve net
1) Commission vs minimum
Low‑value lots often trigger the minimum; higher estimates benefit from a percent. Test both in the calculator.
2) Condition drives demand
Original paint and honest wear routinely outperform refinished items. Clean gently; avoid heavy restoration pre‑sale.
3) Photography ROI
Clear lighting and scale references lift sell‑through. A modest photo fee typically pays for itself in bidding.
4) Timing & category
Texana and signage perform best in themed sessions with active buyer lists. Ask which event gives your item the most reach.
