Sell with us!

Bizarre Bazaar stocks a mixture of high end archival designer, vintage, streetwear, hype gear, independent and contemporary designer pieces. 

We are always on the lookout for special, exotic, rare, coveted, designer, vintage, one-of-a-kind, eccentric, eclectic or unusual clothing, jewellery, accessories, shoes, bags, sunglasses etc. We're also into quaity leather and fur, vintage denim, "remake" fashion, retro, y2k, rave wear, evening gowns etc.

Don't be shy- your clothes don't have to be out-the-gate-insane for us to accept them; we're open-minded, and curious- show us what's hiding at the back of your closets!

We cannot however accept any fast fashion items- House of G,  Zara, Topshop, ASOS etc... Not for us.

Swing by the shop for a chat and a free appraisal, slide up in our DMs or message us through the contact form with any queries.

So, how does consignment work?

Earn cash or store credit from your unloved or under-appreciated gems.

We sell on your behalf, taking a 50% commission after GST.

Commission on higher priced items (eg over $1000) can be negotiated.

If you choose to be paid out for your items in store credit, you will receive 60% of the sale price after GST.

We generally do not buy items outright, however in the rare case that we are willing to negotiate, please keep in mind that you will be offered significantly less than you would have earned through consignment. 

Step 1: Bring in your clothes

When dropping off your clothing, please bring current photo ID.

This is a legal requirement for us to sell on your behalf.

There is a loading zone directly outside the store, at 100 Tory Street. You are welcome to come in any time during opening hours.

If you live outside of the Wellington region, contact us to organise a digital appraisal.

For larger consignments, we offer an in-home appraisal/ collection service, however this is subject to availability, and cannot be guaranteed. Please contact us to inquire.

Step 2: Initial Appraisal

Wherever possible, we will go through your items with you on the spot, and discuss how much you can expect to receive for them once sold.

This only serves as an estimate, and is still subject to change, after further research and closer inspection of items for any flaws (eg missing buttons, damaged zippers, holes, rips, marks, undone seams etc).

All items must be clean and in good repair.

We may ask you to bring an item back once it has been washed or repaired. Please do not be offended- we simply do not have the capacity to undertake dry cleaning or repairs for you. 

Step 3: Pricing

Once your clothing has been processed, an itemised price list will be emailed to you.

Items will usually be processed within 7 working days.

If you have any queries regarding pricing, you must contact us as soon as possible.

If we do not hear back from you, items will be put out for sale at our prices.

We will usually return any unaccepted items at the point of drop off, however if we do not have the time to go through them on the spot, or later discover a flaw/ fault that means we are not able to sell something, this email will also advise you of any pieces we cannot accept.

You then have the option to collect these, or have them donated to charity. Unaccepted items will only be held for 14 days, after which they will be donated. Unfortunately we do not have the capacity to store your returns longer than this.

Please do not be offended if we do not accept your clothing- it's nothing personal. We are only a small store with limited capacity.

We cannot accept any replica/ inauthentic designer items or fast fashion labels.

Have a squiz through our vintage or archive to get an idea of how your pieces will be priced.

Labels we like:

We don't like to be too restrictive in terms of deciding what we will accept based on its label alone, however please use the following as a guide to the kind of vintage, contemporary, independent and high end designer brands we are interested in re-selling.

Ultimately we are looking for well-constructed, high quality, special pieces that are built to last; able to be worn and loved well into the future.

Before bringing items in to consign, check out this list, and have a squiz through our online store to see the brands and styles we accept and the prices we put on them.

Please note that although a garment's brand may be on this list, other factors, such as the item's condition or style, may prevent us from accepting it.

We do not accept fast fashion labels.

Stock Cycle:

General stock (excluding high end designer, archival pieces or very highly priced items) will be at full price for the first 4 weeks in store.
We will advise you any of your items fall under these categories. 

If an item has not sold after 4 weeks at full price, it will be reduced to 25% off.

After 2 weeks at 25% off, (6 weeks in store), any unsold items will be discounted to 50% of their original price.

After 2 weeks at 50% off (at the end of an item's 8th week in store), any unsold items will become the property of Bizarre Bazaar.

High end designer items will not go through this cycle, and will be discounted at our discretion.

As we recognise that particularly rare, highly priced pieces often take longer to sell, as they require the 'right' person to find them, we are happy to keep these items in store until they sell. We will let you know which of your items will be exempt from the general stock cycle.

Your clothing remains your property until it sells or expires, and you are welcome to collect unsold garments at any point before they expire.

Unsold clothing that is not collected before its expiry date will be donated or resold at our sole discretion.

It is up to you to keep track of these dates- we deal with hundreds of consignors and thousands of items. If you are unsure at any point what stage your clothing is at, please do not hesitate to ask.
