Consignment Info

We are selective about what we accept for consignment at The Cape Exchange.  This policy benefits our customers as well as our consignors.   We only accept what we feel we can sell.  As a result, our sell through rate is much higher than the average.
Items should be clean, polished and in good working order, unless antique or being sold for parts.   The better an item looks, the more likely someone is to buy it at a good price.
