THE
REALITY OF SELLING JEWELRY
One must first understand
in order to realize what one paid for an item if it was
purchased at retail 'blue sky' is for one to compete with
the jeweler in finding an end consumer to sell to. This
cuts the dealer out of the sale. The dealer can buy at
wholesale. Why would they pay more than wholesale? Why would they pay retail?
Once you give up on that technique don't rush out to the
local pawn and secondhand dealer. You will get a 'green
grass' offer. This only works if you need instant cash
and wish to go backward or just need a loan.
Mackley & Company has five ways to help you get between
'green grass' and 'blue sky' situations.
1. We will make you the best dealer offer. We are dealers
and do not go above wholesale (and sometimes not even
wholesale) but it is above 'green grass'. It is usually not your
best financial situation and should only be considered
if you need instant money or the other options are not
appealing.
2. We do Gallery Auction Sales Online. This is a possible
avenue to get above 'green grass' and we're both hoping
to see 'blue sky'. Your best option if you have a few
weeks to wait on your money.
3. We are sellers to the retail jeweler. Consignment is
your best option if you have several months to wait on
a sale. Some people try this for awhile and then put the
unsold balance into the auction.
4. Trade or barter will get you your strongest financial
option but there is no money involved. The condition is
both parties must be happy at the time of barter.
5. Advertising on our website (classifieds) where all
the inquiries come directly to you and you keep your jewelry.
In all situations you must send the jewelry to us after
you have our approval. Ship to: Mackley & Company,
9724 Kingston Pike,
Suite 1012,
Knoxville,
TN 37922.
Also; please e-mail
us to let us know you are sending so we can be looking
for it and respond back to you immediately. If we can be
of further service please let us know.
