How Consigning Works

While the Beanstalk team reviews and selects your items, you can shop and wait while.

Selected items will then be priced, steamed, tagged and showcased at Beanstalk for 60 days. Selected non-clothing or higher end items may get extended consignment time.

You will receive 40 percent of the selling price of your items and 50 percent on items priced over $100.

At the end of 60 days any unsold items will then be donated or picked up per your agreement request.
