We've used Redeux's consignment sales services several times over the last "five-ish" years. Our experiences have always been very good ones.
BOTTOM LINE
From my perch, Redeux provides a convenient way to sell furniture and home goods for a seller and for a buyer who has the skill to shop from resale stores, a good shopping experience is had as well. As very nice add on, the people are Redeux have been very friendly, professional, and easy to do business with.
QUICK SALES & GOOD PRICE FOR CONSIGNED ITEMS
We've taken Redeux things ranging case goods from large retailers (Crate and arrel) like accent tables, to night tables from mid range furniture companies (Lexington) to area rugs from home goods specialty stores (Pottery Barn) to bench made, authentic antique reproduction chairs from a New England based high end manufacturer (D.R.Dimes) and in every case, they've sold our goods at a price with which we've been pleased. And in all but one of these cases, the chairs which we knew would have a much more limited audience in Central Oregon, the sale took place well within 30 days.
WELL MANAGED & MAINTAINED STORE
Redeux does the advertising for the biz, they operate the store, they complete the transaction for the sale of our consigned furniture or home goods an they give us a check, minus their reasonable consignment fee. The benefits to us as many - no need to pay to place an ad in the paper trying to target the right buyer, no need to have people coming to your home to look at things, no need to be involved in the (necessary) "will you take this" price negotiating.
The owner, Nancy Glasser, has professional experience as an interior designer and it shows in how she merchandises the store. Attractively laid out for shoppers, including most aisle ways wide enough to provide "browsing room" for all shoppers including buyers using wheelchairs too, and kept spotlessly clean. I've never developed the knack for re-sale store shopping, but if I had that bent, this is a store I'd frequent. In fact, I learned of Redeux first from an interior designer who said she often went in there to look for specific "this or that".
TIPS
1) PS to Yeeps and other Peeps who look for vintage clothing in resale stores - on a couple of times when I've been browsing Redeux, I've seen some of what appeared to be 1970'ish(?) garb in excellent condition in a room in the back of the store.
2) I don't have photos of my own to post, but if you want an example of what you might find if you shop at Redeux, here's a link to great photos from the store's website. http://www.redeuxbend.com/Photos.html read more
