fur’s age
The most important factor in buying your
fur is the condition of the garment (that means the leather side to make
sure there is no dryness or rips). Digital pictures of your garment would
help but we cannot tell quality and condition from a picture. Please make
sure your pictures are bright and clear.
You do not need an appointment to show us
your furs you want us to buy but please call us in advance and let us know
what you have. We will not tell you exactly what a fur might be worth over
the phone, just an approximate fur buying range. We only give a specific
buying price upon inspection of any fur.
Fur Buyers Don’t Buy Every Fur
We do not buy every fur. If you do ship
in your fur garments for inspection and we cannot get together on price to
buy your fur, we will send back your fur coats at your expense.
If you bring in your furs to the store
for us to buy it, it will require an identification card such as your
driver’s license, passport or social security card before we buy any fur
garment.
When We Are Interested in Buying Your
Fur
When we are interested in buying your fur
and we agree on the fur buying price, we will give you a check on the
spot. We do not give cash for fur buys but we will endorse the checks so
that you will be able to cash it at our bank or a local check cashing
service.
Many people call us not knowing what type
of fur they have. You really need to try and find out what you have as we
do not buy everything. If you can’t find out and if your out of town, you
can send us pictures ( just of the fur ( front, back, close up ( no labels
or lining)) and we should be able to determine what type of fur you have
as long as the pictures are clear and bright. If you are in the area, you
can bring in your fur with no guarantee that we will be interested in
buying it.
When Buying Your Fur Doesn’t Work Fur
Consignment is the Answer
Our fur consignment policy is that for
your fur you will receive the price that we agreed on (no 60-40 or 50-50
split). You will be paid upon sale of your fur garment via check. We can
take furs on consignment for any periods of time. The longer period you
give us, the more chance we will have to sell your fur. We also might try
and sell your fur garment to one of our wholesale accounts so we do
request the right to show your furs out of town. This is all spelled out
in a fur consignment contract that we will give you once it is read and
signed by both of us.
