Arizona Custom Knives Consignment Program Updated: June 17, 2009 with new shipping address
Let Arizona Custom Knives sell your knives!
If you have a custom knife that you would like to
sell, we can help. At Arizona Custom Knives, we sell hundreds of
consigned knives every year and would like to offer you the same
opportunity. Whether you are a collector looking to sell your knives,
or a knifemaker who wants more exposure for your work, our consignment
program is right for you.
Why should I choose Arizona Custom Knives?
Arizona Custom Knives has been in business for over 15
years. In that time we have built a solid reputation and become one of
the largest custom knife dealers on the internet. When you consign with
us, you get all the advantages and security that provides. Over
the past year, we've sold over 700 knives on consignment and continue
to add to that each month. Our results speak for themselves. We
feature consignment knives as prominently as any of the knives on our
site, and our email notification system ensures that potential buyers
are informed about your knife as soon as it is posted. No other site
will give your knife the visibility that you will get with Arizona
Custom Knives.
Our full-service consignment
program is unmatched. We handle the pictures, write-ups, and sale, and
will be happy
to answer any questions you have along the way. We will work with you
on an individual basis to ensure that everything is priced as you want
it. We look forward to doing business with you!
How it works
Contact us via phone or email with information
about
the knives that you want to sell. If your knives would be a good fit
for our site, we'll have you ship them to us to get things started. We
handle all the pictures and write-ups, and will work out pricing with you once we receive your knives. Once a knife is sold, you will receive 75% of the final
sale price of the knife. Interested? Please read our Consignment
Policies below as this will answer many common
questions.
Consignment Policies
Shipping Your KnivesShipping checklist:
- Include all your contact information
- Include any information you have for each knife sent, including maker, name of knife/model, blade & handle materials, etc.
You can use whatever shipping method you prefer to
send your knives to us, but we recommend insuring your shipment. We
are not responsible for shipping costs
when receiving or returning consignment knives.
You can ship your knives to:AZCK
2225 A1A South
Suite B-5
St. Augustine, FL 32080 Knives should be
clean and in salable condition. Repair and/or cleaning fees will be
deducted if we need to work on a knife to make it presentable and will
delay placement on the site.
Due
to the large number of consignments we accept each week, it may take up
to two weeks from the date we receive your knives to post them on the
site. We will contact you to confirm that we have received them.
Pricing We
will offer our suggestions on pricing for any consignment knives but
ultimately the decision is up to you. Some people prefer to let us
completely handle the pricing of their knives, and others have specific
prices in mind that they want us to follow. Proper pricing can be the
difference between selling a knife in minutes and sitting on it for
months, so we will work with you to find a price that will both meet
your needs and result in a sale.
Please
be aware that we cannot offer our specific pricing suggestions until
your knives are in our hands, but we guarantee that we will only post
your knives at prices that satisfy you.
Payment
We have a scheduled payout once a month, on the second
Tuesday of every month. On each payout date we will mail you a check
for any of your knives that were sold during the previous month.
(i.e. If your knife sold in June, you will be paid on our July payout
date, and so on)
Please note that we determine the sale date of
a knife by when it is fully paid and shipped to the customer. For
example, a knife may be ordered at the end of June and not paid for
and shipped until July. In this case, our consignment payout would be in August
for this knife. This applies to layaway orders as well. If your knife
is purchased on layaway, you would be paid the month after we receive
the final payment.
Please contact us if you have any specific questions regarding your payouts.
Miscellaneous
You may choose to have your knife removed from the
site and returned to you at any time, but will be charged a $25
handling fee and will be responsible for the return shipping if the
knife has been on the site for less than six months before being
returned.
Feel free to contact us by phone at 904-826-4178 during business hours (Mon - Fri, 10 AM - 4 PM EST) or by email at sharptalk@arizonacustomknives.com if you have any questions.
