Pricing guidance
Start with the scope—not a guess.
- Pricing depends on the chosen sales channel and the work required.
- Commission, listing fees, payment fees, packing, shipping, and pickup costs are disclosed in writing before an item is accepted.
- Consignment Cleanout terms may use a 60% client / 40% Rat's Nest split plus a $45 pickup fee, when that program is selected.
Final pricing and responsibilities are confirmed in writing after review. Website guidance is not a binding quote.

Close out the sale and document the result.
Frequently asked questions
Good questions deserve direct answers.
What counts as vintage or antique?
The labels vary by category. We focus on accurate description and supported dates rather than using age words as a substitute for research.
Do you restore items?
We may recommend light cleaning or specialist work, but changes are never made without approval because restoration can affect value.
How long does a sale take?
It depends on demand, price, season, shipping practicality, and the chosen venue. We discuss the balance between speed and return.
Can you sell a single item?
Yes, when the item and likely return fit the work required, or as part of a broader consignment or online-sales group.
