All shoes are under consignment at EQPT. This simply means that the shoes do not belong to the store. The
owner of the shoes has brought them to us and requested that we attempt to sell the shoes to EQPT's
clientele. The prices of the shoes are at the discretion of the shoe's owner.
FAQ: Consignment/Sellers
So you're considering consigning your shoes at EQPT. Here's what you need to know.
What is EQPT's commission on the sale of my shoes?
EQPT's standard commission is 15%. However, if you have 10 or more pairs at EQPT at a given time, we
reduce our commission to 10%. This is our way showing our appreciation for doing business with EQPT.
I live in another state or too far from your store to drop shoes off, but really want to put my shoes
on consignment at EQPT, then what?
Even if you live out of state, EQPT will work with you to get your shoes in our store and online. We
do require that you send your shoes to the store to guarantee authenticity. You, the seller, will be
responsible for the cost of shipping of the shoes to the store. If we deem the shoes are not authentic,
we will contact you immediately and you will be responsible for the return shipping costs of the
shoes. If at any time after the shoes are in the possession of EQPT, you request to have them shipped
back to you, you will still be responsible for the return shipping costs.
When my consignment item(s) sell, how do I get paid?
EQPT will send you a check by mail made to the given name of the owner of the shoes. Checks are sent
out on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of every month. If you would like us to pay you via PayPal, you, the
seller, will be responsible for the PayPal fees.
