Why Sell With Us?
1. Limited hassle
Well yes, you have to gather up your items and bring them to the store. After that, we handle 100% of the sale. And since we have an established audience there’s no need for you to find buyers.
2. No Risk
There is literally zero risk to you. We will look through your items and accept those we know our buyers want. Please don’t be offended when that one-piece bathing suit that looks like an avocado doesn’t get accepted. Deep down, you knew you shouldn’t have bought it anyway. It’s time to donate it. However, you will get your money when your other items sell.
3. Saves Time and Theres No Shipping
Have you ever tried to sell something online by yourself? There’s no responding to emails, phone calls or Facebook questions. No need to calculate taxes or shipping costs. Plus, there’s no packaging or trips to the post office.
4. Best Price
We take the guesswork out of pricing. Using several online resale sights we can assess what the market will bear and the best price to charge.
5. Unsold Items are Donated to Local Charities
No need to worry about what to do with unsold items (unless you want them back). We work with several VT and NY charitable organizations who use items to fund their missions.

Ready to consign?
Please give us a call at 802-231-2520 to schedule a required appointment.
Here's how it works:
We ask that you bring in no more than 25 items to consign at a time. We happily accept the following, Small Home Furnishings and Decor, Dishes, Bakeware, Glassware, Collectibles, Linens, Art, Jewelry, Accessories, Men's, Women’s, Children's Clothing and Shoes, and much more.
Regrettably we cannot accept any large appliances, electronics, sporting equipment, or very large furniture. If you’re uncertain about brining something in, send us a picture via email at info@thedorsetexchange.com. Please ensure non-clothing items are clean and damage-free.
We ask that the clothing you bring in to consign meet the following criteria:
1. Seasonal to the 60 day period your items will be in-store
2. Clean and as wrinkle-free as possible (not stuffed in bags please)
3. Free from pet hair and strong odors
4. No tags have been removed, i.e. size and/or cleaning instructions
5. No tears or stains, i.e. carefully inspect pockets and seams for tears and collars and underarms for stains
Our consignment agreement runs for 60 days for clothing and shoes and 90 days for all else. You, the Consignor will receive 40% of the final selling price. Our system has an automatic markdown feature of 20% every 30 days. At our discretion, we may host sales from time to time to capitalize on high shopping traffic times (typically no more than 20% off current tag prices).
Any unsold items you'd like back at the end of your consignment period must be retrieved on or before the pick up date that will be provided. You are responsible for keeping track of your pick up date. Any items left behind after their expiration date become the property of The Dorset Exchange and typically will be donated to area charities.
Payment (by check or cash) or store credit for items sold is available immediately post-sale. Checks can be mailed upon request for $1.
