Membership fees
As of January 2006, the annual membership fee for The Treasure Mart is now
$15. This is
paid at the time you bring in your first item(s) for consignment or to the
driver if your items are being picked up. At that time you will be assigned a
member number and given a membership card. Please use this number to refer to
your account in correspondence. Your membership will be renewed and deducted
from your payment if you still have items for sale when your annual renewal date
comes up.
Inventory Invoice
Within a week of your
consignment visit, The Treasure Mart will send you a computer
print-out of the items you brought in. If there is an item of value (not
miscellaneous) missing from the list, please call the office at (734) 662-9887.
Payment
When you bring items in to sell, you agree to take 65% of the sales price of
ticketed items. When The Treasure Mart picks up your items to be sold, we will
take 40% of the sale, in addition to the surcharge for the pickup. Each month that your ticketed item does not sell it
will go down in sales price by 10%. New - After 3 markdowns ( 4 months) if an item has not sold, you will receive
50% of the final
sale.

schedule, once each quarter (1/3 of the alphabet each month) as follows:
Letters A thru H - January, April, July, October
Letters I thru R - February, May, August, November
Letters S thru Z - March, June, September, December
Accounts are closed on the 15th of the month
preceding payment.
