Process
How Consignment Works
1. Bring the board to Thornbury
The team assesses the board, confirms the likely market value, and checks whether it needs cleaning or repairs before it can be sold.
2. Choose your payout option
Select either the 15% store credit option or the 25% EFT payout option. Once selected, the option cannot be changed.
3. We prepare the listing
Boards are added to the online store after the required 7 day period. If cleaning or repairs are needed, listing can take longer.
4. You are paid after the sale completes
If the board is placed on lay-by, payment or store credit is released once that transaction is completed, not before.
