Consignments

HOW OUR CONSIGNMENT WORKS:

  • Call or email Crosshairs Texas with photos or a full description of what you want to sell.  Our knowledgeable staff will assist you in setting a reasonable price that is in line with the overall value of the gun and any included accessories (magazines, original box, optics, owner’s manual, etc.)  We will discuss what you have, possible price ranges, and whether we think we can do a good job selling them for you.

  • If we agree that we are a good match for your needs, we will make arrangements to pick up the items, or request you to ship them to us by insured UPS.

  • Since customers are buying from us, our reputation is on the line.  We will describe items to the best of our knowledge and belief, and will not misrepresent items for a seller.  We will not take items on consignment at prices that we think are unrealistic or unfair to the buyer.

  • We normally contract for a consignment period of 60 days to sell your items.  This allows time to research them properly, advertise them in catalogs or by other means, and offer them at appropriate collector’s shows.  This also allows time to drop the price to the minimum level if unsuccessful selling at a higher starting price. In our experience about 80-90% of properly priced items will sell in that period.
