Charity Auction Consignment Basics: A 101 course

Sherry Truhlar Leave a Comment

Charity auction consignment dealers provide / sell merchandise (EG: trips, jewelry, memorabilia, art, etc) to nonprofits for their fundraising auctions.

It’s a big industry with lots of players.  And since the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s had some shifts.

In the video I explain this subsection of the nonprofit auction space.

If you are new to charity auction planning, consider this video a 10-minute “101” crash course in the subject.

I cover:

  • What is consignment?
  • Types of consignment dealers
  • Is consignment considered good or bad?
  • Examples of how / why organizations use it.
  • Three tidbits valuable to know before you answer the phone and talk with that consignment sales rep
