From initial review through sale and payout, Upscale Thrifts makes the consignment process straightforward and transparent. Once your items are approved, we handle the preparation, research, presentation, marketing, and sale while keeping you informed along the way.
By Appointment & Online Consignment
Upscale Thrifts is an online consignment business and does not operate a walk-in retail storefront. Local consignors may schedule an appointment at our meeting office, arrange an approved drop-off or porch pickup, or ship approved items to us.
All accepted items are professionally marketed and sold through online resale channels rather than from a physical store.
1. Submit Your Items
Complete our intake form with photos and basic information about the items you would like us to consider. Providing clear photos, brand or maker information, identifying marks, and any relevant history helps us evaluate your submission.
2. We Review & Approve
We evaluate each submission based on condition, desirability, market demand, resale potential, and other factors relevant to the item. If we believe your item is a good fit, we’ll contact you with the next steps for consignment.
3. Get Your Approved Items to Us
Once your items are approved, we’ll help you choose the most convenient way to get them to us:
- Meeting Office: Schedule an appointment at our meeting office in the Meridian area.
- Local Drop-Off or Pickup: Approved items may qualify for arranged drop-off or porch pickup.
- Shipping: We can provide a prepaid shipping label for approved items outside our local area.
4. We Prepare & Market
Once we receive your items, we inspect and prepare them for sale, research comparable sales and market demand, photograph them professionally, and create detailed listings. We then select the online resale channels best suited to reach potential buyers for each item.
5. Your Item Sells
When an item sells, we handle the transaction, buyer communication, packaging, and shipping. We also manage any applicable marketplace return process so you don’t have to coordinate directly with the buyer.
6. You Get Paid
Once the sale is complete and any applicable return period has passed, we calculate your share according to the agreed commission structure and issue your payout.
Commission Structure
Our tiered commission structure rewards higher-value sales with a larger share of the proceeds going to the consignor. Commission is based on the final selling price of each item.

Under $200 — You receive 50%

Consignment Terms
Items are typically consigned for a period of 90 days. During that time, we may adjust pricing based on buyer interest, market conditions, and comparable sales to help position the item competitively.
If an item remains unsold at the end of the consignment period, we’ll contact you to discuss the next step. Depending on the item, options may include retrieval, an agreed-upon price reduction or extension of the consignment period, or donation.
