Thumb Resale Company · Sell & Consign
Have Items to Sell?
Discuss a potential direct purchase or let us evaluate your merchandise for consignment through our resale channels.
Tell us what you have. We will review the opportunity and discuss whether an arrangement is a suitable fit.
Two Ways to Work With Us
Choose Your Starting Point.
The right option depends on your merchandise, its condition, quantity, value, and the work involved.
Direct Purchase
Sell Your Inventory Directly.
Skip the listing process. Tell us what merchandise you have, and we will evaluate whether a direct purchase is possible.
- Share the item types and approximate quantities.
- Describe the condition and any known issues.
- Provide photographs when available.
- Discuss a purchase offer if the merchandise is suitable.
Any purchase price, payment terms, and collection or delivery arrangements are agreed upon before the transaction.
Consignment
We Sell It for You.
Do not want to operate your own eBay store? We can photograph, research, list, store, sell, and ship accepted merchandise through our resale channels.
- We review your merchandise for suitability.
- We agree on commissions and applicable terms.
- We prepare and sell accepted items.
- You receive your agreed share after a completed sale.
Payments follow the schedule and conditions established in your consignment agreement.
Not sure which option fits? Describe your merchandise and what you would like to achieve. We can review whether a direct purchase or consignment arrangement is appropriate.
How It Works
Three Steps to Get Started.

Prepare Your Inquiry

A short, clear description is enough to begin. We can discuss any additional information needed after reviewing your inquiry.
- Item details: Product categories, brands, models, or part numbers.
- Quantity: Individual items, mixed lots, or approximate inventory volume.
- Condition: New, used, tested, untested, damaged, or incomplete. Please disclose known issues.
- Location: Your city and state, with relevant collection details.

Already Operate Your Own Store?
Need Listing Support Instead?
Our listing services help prepare listings in your own eBay store. You retain ownership of your merchandise and responsibility for normal storage and order fulfillment.
Common Questions
Before You Get Started.
Do you accept every item offered?
Merchandise is reviewed individually. Acceptance depends on the item type, condition, quantity, value, and whether the opportunity fits our operation.
How is a direct purchase different from consignment?
With a direct purchase, we agree to buy suitable merchandise under confirmed purchase terms. With consignment, we sell accepted items through our resale channels and pay your agreed share after a completed sale under the consignment agreement.
Do I need my own eBay account for consignment?
No. Consigned merchandise is sold through our resale channels. If you want listings prepared for your own eBay store, our listing services may be a better fit.
How much will I receive from a consignment sale?
Your share depends on the commission, applicable fees, and other terms agreed upon before consignment begins. Rates reflect the merchandise and the work involved.
When will I receive payment?
Direct purchase payment terms are confirmed as part of the purchase agreement. Consignment payments follow the schedule and conditions established in your consignment agreement.
What happens if a consigned item does not sell?
The handling of unsold merchandise is agreed upon beforehand. Your agreement explains the applicable process and any related responsibilities or costs.
Should I send or drop off merchandise immediately?
Contact us first. We need to review the items and confirm acceptance, terms, and handling arrangements before merchandise is sent or delivered.
