CONSIGNMENT
Selling your item has never been easier with Blue Spinach. We represent our items on consignment, simply begin by completing our consignment form with details and images of the item/s you would like to sell. Once we review and confirm that your item is of interest, we will provide a quote for its resale value and our commission split. Next, you can either drop off your item or arrange for it to be delivered to us. From there, we’ll handle everything – preparation, listing and selling. You will receive payment once your item has sold. To learn more about our seamless consignment process, click here.
We represent our items exclusively on a consignment basis. This means we sell items on behalf of our clients rather than buying them directly. Once your item is sold, you will receive payment for the sale, with a commission deducted for our services. This approach ensures that you and your luxury items get the best possible value, service and care.
With over 28 years of expertise in the luxury resale market, Blue Spinach holds unmatched knowledge and skill in evaluating designer goods. Our quoting and valuation process is extensive; Our team thoroughly researches every item to assess its current market position. This involves analysing realised sale prices, the item’s popularity, demand, availability, RRP, amongst many other factors.
The item's condition, age, and packaging included also plays a significant role in determining the resale value. Our comprehensive database of realised prices, built over nearly three decades, assists us in setting competitive yet realistic prices. We strive to attain the strongest valuation for your item, ensuring it reaches its highest potential without inhibiting a sale.
At Blue Spinach, we believe that every luxury item should be presented in its best possible condition, to maximise its value and secure the best results for our sellers.
We offer several convenient options when passing on your luxury items to us for consignment. We have two locations in Sydney where you are able to book an appointment to drop off your pieces. Our Redfern Showroom accepts consignment bookings Tuesday - Friday. Our David Jones concession space is available for consignment bookings on Thursdays & Saturdays, with flexibility to arrange a drop-off on a different day, upon request.
Alternatively, if you’re unable to visit us in person, you can easily arrange for your item to be delivered to us. Simply contact us to discuss the details, and we’ll provide you with all necessary information for sending your consignment. For large consignments, we offer a complimentary courier collection service. Please feel free to contact us via email to explore this option.
Please note that delivery or consignment appointments can only be arranged after we’ve discussed your item and provided a resale quote or initial feedback. To book a consignment appointment, click here.

We take immense pride in delivering our bespoke, white glove service to both our customers and consignors. Our consignment fees reflect the personalised, premier service we provide, encompassing the time, care and attention dedicated to representing your item.
Our standard commission fee covers our extensive product and market knowledge, authentication, marketing, styling, modelling and advertising of your item through our website, social media and various digital marketing channels. Our vast customer base and expansive platforms contribute to our high sell-through rate, with some items selling even before they’re listed online.
Blue Spinach operates on a monthly payment cycle. Consignors are paid for their sold items during the first week of the month that follows the sale. For example, if your item sells in July, you would be paid during the first week of August. For items sold via lay-by, consignors are paid in the payment cycle that follows lay-by completion. Payments are made by Direct Deposit to your nominated bank account. For first time consignors, we request your banking details when the monthly payment cycle begins.
Blue Spinach takes pride in offering a beautiful curation of pre-loved luxury items. We are selective in the pieces we look to consign, and accept items of the following criteria:
- Authentic
- In excellent condition
- From our list of accepted brands available to view via our Consignment Form
We do accept vintage items in excellent condition, when the style is popular, considered saleable or of significance.
