What We Will and Won’t Accept

We like to give you an idea on what kind of items are acceptable for consignment at Keys to the Attic.  This serves both the customer and the seller, as we would hate for you to take the time and energy to bring us things that we will not accept for resale.

Please Note: Items on the acceptable list will still need to pass inspection for state of condition and ability to sell.

Please use these lists as a guide. We may accept other things that are not on this list. When in doubt, please contact us:  [email protected] (if you are able, please attach photos, particularly if you are interested in consigning furniture).  This will avoid unnecessary work for both of us.
