New Consignment utility added to the Blue Moon Camera website!

[BlueMoonCamera]

Hey Everyone!

We recently did a quiet rollout of our new consignment utility available on our website so you can input your own consignments, with a lot of equipment also having initial valued quotes for your gear; we wanted to bring this to the attention of a few communities specifically. You can find the consignment utility in the "Sell your gear" drop-down of the Blue Moon website. And here is a quick rundown of the consignment process!

So does Blue Moon set the selling price of the camera or does the seller?

How does that work?

We give a valuation that we believe will allow the item to sell in a relatively timely matter but final say on the price a customer wants an item sold for is actually left up to the consignor! If we return with a valuation you believe is under what you were thinking an item should sell for we're happy to go with your discretion. The only time this wouldn't be the case would be if we believe an item is being sold well outside of it's market value which results in the item sitting in our inventory with no indication that it will sell.

As an example, a potential consignor bringing us their Sears Zoom lens and asking that we price the lens at $1000 - we would simply decline this as a good consignment candidate. However, if you were selling an Hasselblad with a bit of sentimental value and thus wanted to price it a bit higher than the valuation we reach, this is definitely we're open to.

Hope that helps!
