Consignment Policies

Northwest Tack Consignment never has or will accept dirty consignments. We are not able to offer any cleaning services. Leather should be oiled, apparel should be laundered, and stable supplies should be hosed off and dried. Local 4H groups and nonprofits will accept donations of dirty tack for free for them to clean and resell. We can put you in touch. 

 

Northwest Tack Consignment Consignment Policies

Northwest tack consignment will be referred to as NTC in this document.

Should your item(s) sell, NTC will retain a percentage of the final sales price, less any cleaning fees if needed (cleaning fees are discussed and agreed upon at time of consignment). NTC will contact the consignor regarding sales when a saddle sells, or an account exceeds $200 in sales. The consignor can check in on their sales and be paid at any time. Methods of payment include in store credit, or a check, which can be picked up or mailed. 

Initial ________

Automatic Price Reductions: 

All items besides saddles are marked down automatically in our system according to our discount schedule. Items are marked down according to this schedule until they hit our term limit of 120 days. After 120 days the items become the property of NW Tack to donate to a nonprofit of their choice. There is no override or exemption in our system for this. If you do not wish to have your items reduced or donated, you are responsible for arranging pickup prior to the discount or donation date. You must give 24 hours notice before pickup to allow time for items to be gathered. Saddles are exempted from this discount schedule.

NTC will NOT call to warn you that items are going on sale or being donated according to time in store. 

Initial ________

Condition of Saddles

Saddles must be ready to be listed on our website. We will not be accepting any saddles that are moldy, dusty, or in need of repairs. All silver must be clean, and not have any tarnish. If the consignor is not able to clean their saddle, there will be a minimum $25 cleaning fee. The fee will be discussed and agreed upon at intake with the consignor. All rigging and billets on saddles must be in safe usable condition. We do not accept saddles that do not have a brand, or that are valued at less than $250.

Item Pickup:

Any saddle that is checked out within 30 days of consignment will be subject to a $10.00 listing fee to cover employee hours spent photographing and listing the saddle on our website. Any non-saddle item that is checked out within 30 days of consignment will be subject to a $00.50 (fifty cent) listing fee per item to help cover time spent tagging and displaying items.

NTC posts some of our items on social media sites, and our website. We do not allow consignors to market their own item. A consignor can share our listing, understanding that any customer interest must be forwarded on to NTC. A Consignor can not use NTC’s listings or photos to sell a saddle out from under NTC. If a consignor is found to be marketing their own item on social media, craigslist, ebay, etc. they will be contacted to pick up all items, and barred from future consignment. 

Initial__________

It is understood that all items sent to NTC for the purpose of consignment remain the property of their owner while advertised for sale with NTC. The consignor is strongly encouraged to list all items under their insurance policy. The consignor agrees that NTC is not responsible for any damages to the consignment items, and that a reasonable amount of wear may occur to the item(s) from display and handling from either employees, customers, or potential buyers. The consignor certifies that they have the authority to sell the item, and that it is not stolen. 

Initial __________

The consignor, upon agreement to this contract, agrees to allow their saddle to go on trials for three business days with serious prospective buyers at the discretion of NTC. All saddles are photographed during original intake, and inspected again after being returned from a trial. Prospective buyers sign an agreement to pay for the saddle in full if any damages occur during a saddle trial. Saddles may be shipped out for trials, which may incur an extended amount of time outside of the store. The buyer’s trial begins once the saddle arrives at their door. Some saddle trials may be extended for the buyer if a true emergency occurs, at the discretion of northwest tack consignment.
