Why consign vs selling in bulk?
While the prospect of selling your collection in bulk might seem appealing for its simplicity and speed, it’s essential to consider the financial implications. Bulk sales often result in significantly lower returns, as most bulk buyers offer only a fraction of the market value for each item. Bulk buyers will often purchase collections for "market value" meaning the lowest price for quick returns. We only take a 35% commission on each sale, which is an industry-leading rate considering the comprehensive services we provide. This approach ensures you receive a substantial portion of the sale price. Additionally, IEHobbies typically prices models slightly above current market values to help cover our commission costs.
Your collection is kept in a secure, climate-controlled environment to maintain its condition and value. We take the utmost care to ensure the safety and preservation of your items throughout the consignment process. Should you change your mind at any point, we are more than willing to assist you in retrieving your collection. Your items remain your property until they are sold, providing you with complete control over the process.

Simply send us a detailed list of your collection, and we’ll begin the process of providing you with a fair and competitive offer
