What does “consignment Auction Item” mean?

We are asked all the time what Consignment Auction Items are. Basically this, over the many years we have been assisting nonprofits all over the United States, we have been lucky enough to begin business relationships with some of the nation’s best Memorabilia and excursion providers. Based on this professional and contractual relationship, these providers allow BW Unlimited to provide these items on a “Consignment” basis. These items are given to BW Unlimited for use by their exclusive list of nonprofit clients, to assist in raising money for their mission at their events. The Consignment prices are well below wholesale and if they do not sell, these items are sent back and nothing is paid for them. However, if the items sell at the events, then the client need only pay the low consignment cost and keep the profit made from the item. Basically, there is no risk because if it doesn’t sell, it is returned.

What up front fees do we have to pay to get consignment Auction Items for our next event?

We often hear this exact question but the answer remains...nothing. There are no up front fees, no post dated checks, no credit card applications - nothing. We also hear "This is too good to be true." Well, it's good and it's true but it's not too good to be true. You let us know what will work best at your next Charity Fundraising!

Is the signed memorabilia authentic?

All of the Signed Memorabilia, whether it be Celebrity or Sports have Certificates of Authenticity. These items are from the nation’s leading memorabilia providers with a very long history of professionalism. BW Unlimited refuses to carry any item which it's authenticity is questionable.
