I've recently come across a service called Outward Consignment Group, outwardconsignmentgroup.com ... ...

I've recently come across a service called Outward Consignment Group, outwardconsignmentgroup.com and I'm curious if anyone has used them before. From what I understand, they offer to handle selling and shipping items on eBay and Craigslist. Has anyone here had any experience with this service? I'd love to hear about your interactions, whether positive or negative. Some specific things I'm wondering about: How was the overall experience? Any issues with payment or customer service? Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

They're a service that handles selling items on eBay and Craigslist. The process was smooth, and their staff was professional. They take care of everything from photography to customer inquiries. Their fee is the commission on successful sales, which I found reasonable given the time and effort they save you. They have a minimum estimated value of $100 per item, so it's best for more valuable things. Outward Consignment Group operates a nationwide chain of storage facilities, with their headquarters in San Francisco. You can either drop-off your items or arrange for pick-up. Make sure to discuss all details and return policy upfront. Hope this helps!

They're pretty interesting, they're not just a trading assistant! They're actually a big nationwide chain of consignment drop-off spots. Basically, you can either buy stuff from them or sell your own items through their service. You know, like if you're not super confident about selling stuff online or just don't have the time. They've got locations all over the country, so chances are there's one near you. From what I understand, they handle everything from listing your items to shipping them out when they sell. They also offer a '10-Day Money-Back Guarantee' for all consigned items. Could be worth checking out!

You know, I've been thinking - Outward Consignment Group might actually be an official eBay partner. That could explain why they're so good at what they do. They seem to use multiple platforms to sell items, not just eBay. They apparently list on Craigslist and other marketplaces too. So they're probably using whatever platform works best for each specific item. You might want to check out their website or give them a call!

They're more like a middleman service that sells your stuff on platforms like eBay or Craigslist. Think of them as a consignment shop, but for online sales. I haven't personally used their service, but I've got coworkers who have bought and sold through them. From what I hear, they're totally legit. They just handle the whole selling process for you, from listing to shipping. If you're worried about a specific transaction, you should be able to verify it on Outward Consignment Group's website using a Transaction Number. That's usually a good way to check if everything's on the up-and-up. Contact them directly through their website: outwardconsignmentgroup.com

I can vouch for them being legit, at least when it comes to buying cars. I actually purchased my car through them not too long ago. They offered free shipping, which was cool, but since I lived in the same city as their warehouse, I just went and picked it up myself. The whole process was pretty smooth. I signed all the paperwork with them, and everything went off without a hitch. Their customer support was top-notch too - they were really helpful and gave me all the info I needed. I can't speak to their Craigslist selling policy since I haven't looked into that. But based on my experience buying from them, I'd say they're likely to keep their promises.

Just wanted to chime in with my own experience. I've actually used Outward Consignment Group a few times now. Not trying to brag or anything, but I think it's worth mentioning since we're talking about their service. I've been a repeat customer, which I guess says something about how I feel about their service. But hey, that's just my personal experience. Everyone's mileage may vary, you know? If you're curious about specifics, I'd be happy to share more about what I've sold through them or how the process went for me. Just let me know if you want any more details!!

I've both sold and bought stuff through them - everything from small knick-knacks to bigger items - and it's always been smooth sailing. The way I see it, their service is like a safety net for everyone involved. As a seller, you don't have to worry about the nitty-gritty details - you just get your money without any fuss. And if you're buying, you've got that 10-day window to check out your purchase, which is pretty sweet. Personally, I always feel pretty secure using their service. It's like, what could go wrong, you know? But hey, I get it - their way of doing things might not be everyone's cup of tea. Some folks prefer to handle things themselves or might not like the fees...

Just throwing this out there - have you considered selling or buying stuff directly instead of going through Outward Consignment Group? You could save yourself that 15-25% commission they charge. Don't get me wrong, OCG definitely has its perks. They handle all the details, which is great if you don't have the time or know-how. But if you're willing to put in a bit of effort, you might be able to keep more cash in your pocket by doing it yourself!
