Second Story Consignment Agreement
Like you, we love art and believe that original and hand-crafted works that we once loved can have a second life in a new home when they no longer fit into our décor or our lifestyle. We are so happy you are considering working with Goose Creek Studio (GCS)/Second Story and we will work hard to make this a fun and rewarding process.
If you are interested in consignment, please read through this agreement and complete a consignment form available at Goose Creek Studio.

- Because of the unpredictable nature of a retail business, we are not able to accept consignment items on a walk-in basis. Please call or email to make an appointment to bring in items for consignment.
- All consignment items must be clean, free of dust, stains and must be in a desirable condition and quality for resale and ready to preside in a new home. If you want GCS to get your art “spic and span” and ready for the marketplace we are happy to provide this service for a small fee.
- GCS will select from your items to consign. It is our goal to move your items as quickly as possible for the best possible price. Please understand when we cannot accept an item.
- All consignment art and craft items must be original and/or handcrafted. All décor and furniture items must be upcycled (i.e. refinished, repainted, refurbished, repurposed, etc.).
- All consignment pieces should be affordable, fit into most decors, or be unique. Seasonal items are also accepted.
- Second Story does not consign limited edition prints, mass produced items, antiques/old furniture, or mirrors. There may be exceptions to this rule, so when in doubt, ask or send a picture.
- GCS will price your items based on our best guess of current supply and demand. We are happy to work with you on special pieces based on a particular artist or historical relevance.
- As a general rule, consignment item retail prices will not exceed $350. NOTE: eBay or auction houses are better alternatives for higher priced items.
- All items will be cataloged with a consignor ID and stock number. All items accepted will be displayed for a full 90 days. Early pick up will not be permitted.
- We require all consignors to participate in seasonal promotions, commonly a 10% discount.
- GCS expects all consigners to actively promote Second Story, as well as the gallery and the frame shop, through their own websites and/or social media outlets
- GCS agrees to pay consigners 50% of the selling price of all items sold. GCS will prepare a check for pick up for all items sold on the first Tuesday of the following month. Consigner credits can be used on purchases or framing immediately when items are sold.
- Because of our limited storage space, GCS cannot retain any packaging materials. Any packaging you wish to keep must be taken with you.
- At the end of the 90-day contract period, we ask that all unsold items must be picked up within 5 days. Unclaimed items will be donated to charity auctions.
- Email or Facebook will be the primary means of contact with consigners.
