Robin’s Nest Consignment recently opened its new, larger space, which, at 2,800 square feet, is twice the size of the previous shop, and is looking for new, great quality home items to sell.
“I need more consignments because as fast as they’re coming in, they’re going out,” said owner Robin Grimaldi.
She is looking for all different furniture types that are clean, in good condition and like new, especially high-end pieces and bedroom sets and dining room furniture.
One of the most appealing aspects of Robin’s process is potential sellers don’t even need to go through the hassle of transporting pieces to the store to see if they are a match for Robin’s Nest Consignment. They can just text or email a photo of their item directly to Robin for consideration. Plus, once Robin selects the item, pick up can be coordinated for a nominal fee.
Once the item is on sale, it has 90 days to sell through consignment, with a 10 percent discount applied after 30 days. As soon as the item sells, Robin is ready to provide the consignor with their half of the sales, which can mean same-day payment when an item is purchased with cash, or a week if it’s purchased by card.
Robin works hard to ensure items sell quickly through Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Instagram and the shop’s website. Plus, the ease of consignment extends to customers, who are able to purchase items listed online by calling the shop, and they even can coordinate delivery straight to their homes.
“Ease of transactions sets us apart,” said Robin. “If someone sees something online, a lot of times they will call me to buy it online, and they don’t even have to come into the store to get it.”
For those who do want to shop in person, they will enjoy an improved experience at the larger space, which is set up to display the furniture the same way it would be set up in a home.
“My customers love it,” said Robin. “People say, ‘Oh, my gosh, it’s like a showroom.’ They come in and say they can’t believe how big the store is and how many more things I have, and how well laid out things are so that it’s all easier to see.”
A Robin’s Nest is located at 5253 E. Brown Road, Suite 102 and Suite 103. For more information, visit robinsnestresale.com. To inquire about consignment, text (480) 984-8485, or send an email to nibor1205@comcast.net.
