WHY "CONSIGNMENT BY INVITATION"?
|
At Modern Vintage Marketplace, we operate a Consignment by Invitation program. We chose this model because it creates the best outcome for everyone involved. Consignors typically receive approximately 4x more than they would through an outright purchase offer, while shoppers enjoy a constantly changing selection of unique, high-quality items.
We are living through a unique time in history. Baby Boomers are downsizing while younger generations are increasingly valuing the quality and craftsmanship of vintage and antique items. As a result, we receive far more consignment requests than we can accommodate and are only able to accept about 5–10% of the items offered to us. This allows us to maintain a carefully curated inventory of unique, high-quality pieces. For items we cannot accept, we provide guidance to local nonprofit organizations where your items can be donated, giving them a second life while helping keep usable goods out of the landfill and benefiting the local community. How the Consignment by Invitation program works: Before Submission

ITEMS WE'RE NOT SEEKING
|
Here's our list of items we're not looking for. Stated as politely as we can -some items are just too common or don't fit our vibe. Others historically don't seem to sell in our shop. To save you a trip and avoid an awkward “no thank you”, please check this list before asking to consign that special item.

|
Specialized Collectibles -While we appreciate the value and enthusiasm surrounding collectible categories such as comic books, trading cards, coins, and stamps, these highly specialized markets require dedicated expertise, authentication, and valuation processes that fall outside our current focus. As a result, we are not accepting these categories for consignment or purchase at this time.

THINGS WE'D LOVE TO TAKE AS DONATIONS
|
Have something cool that's collecting dust? We're all ears! Some items may not be right for consignment but are perfect as donations to be loved again. Whether it's delightfully odd, retro, or simply too charming to toss, we'd happily rehome it—and thank you with vintage karma points. While we are not a nonprofit or a donation-to-sale store, we understand that sometimes you want to give those special items a new life in a space that’s community-driven, without all the red tape and bureaucracy of the big box stores. Your donations are put to good use through repurposing, upcycling, crafty classes, or passing them directly to those in need. It’s all part of our mission to keep cool stuff out of landfills and into loving hands—while also helping our local community thrive.
