Stop hauling your items to consignment shops. Sale Advisor comes to you, catalogs everything you want to sell, gets it sold, delivers to buyers with our own moving team, and gets you paid. No cost. No effort on your end.
The traditional consignment model was designed decades ago. You load up your car, drive to a shop, drop off your items, and hope someone walks in and buys them. Your items sit on a shelf in one location, exposed to whoever happens to visit that particular store on that particular day. If items do not sell in a few months, you drive back to pick them up. It is time-consuming, inefficient, and leaves money on the table.
When you compare the traditional consignment experience to Sale Advisor across every dimension that matters, the choice becomes obvious. Here is how we stack up on pickup, reach, delivery, speed, cost, and communication.
| Traditional Consignment | Sale Advisor | |
|---|---|---|
| Pickup | You haul items to the shop yourself | We come to you and pick everything up |
| Buyer Reach | One storefront, local foot traffic only | Maximum exposure to serious buyers online |
| Delivery to Buyers | Buyer picks up from shop or pays shipping | Our own delivery team handles local delivery |
| Timeline | Items sit in a shop for weeks or months with limited exposure | Items listed quickly with maximum exposure to buyers |
| Cost | Consignment fees, drop-off time, gas money | Zero. We only earn a percentage when your items sell |
| Communication | Call the shop and hope someone answers | Direct text and call access to our team at (847)-444-9657 |
From your first text message to money in your account, here is exactly what happens when you use Sale Advisor's consignment pickup service. Four steps, zero effort on your end. We built this process from the ground up to eliminate every friction point that makes traditional consignment a pain.
Reach out at (847)-444-9657 or submit a request through our website. Tell us what you have and we will take it from there. No forms, no waiting, no hoops to jump through.
We schedule a time that works for you and come to you. Our team walks through every room, catalogs the items you want to sell, takes professional photos, and handles all the heavy lifting. You do not move a finger.
Your items get professional descriptions, photos, and maximum exposure to buyers. That means better prices and faster sales. We handle all buyer communication, negotiations, and scheduling.
When items sell, our delivery team brings it directly to the buyer. No shipping costs, no porch pirates, no strangers showing up at your house. Once delivery is confirmed, we send you your payout. Simple.
The entire process is designed so you never lift a heavy piece of furniture, drive to a shop, or deal with a single buyer. That is what makes Sale Advisor different from every other consignment service in Chicago. We handle the entire lifecycle of the sale from the moment we walk into you until the money hits your account.
If it has value, we can sell it. We specialize in higher-ticket items where our percentage-based model makes the most sense, but we do not turn people away. During your in-home consultation, we will walk through everything together and identify what will sell best. Here are the most common categories our clients bring to us.
Sofas, dining tables, bedroom sets, desks, bookshelves, dressers, accent chairs
TVs, gaming consoles, audio equipment, computers, monitors, cameras
Washers, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, microwaves, air purifiers

Not sure if your items qualify? Text us at (847)-444-9657 with a quick description or photo. We will let you know right away what we can sell and give you a realistic idea of what to expect. No commitment, no pressure, no sales pitch. Just straight answers.
The biggest friction point in traditional consignment is getting your items to the shop. If you have a dresser, a dining table, or a couch to sell, you either need a truck, a friend with a truck, or a willingness to pay someone to move it. And if the consignment shop decides they do not want the piece, you just wasted a trip. That is why most people never follow through. They know their items have value, but the effort of getting them somewhere feels like more trouble than it is worth.
Sale Advisor eliminates that barrier completely. We come to you, look at everything in context, and handle the pickup ourselves. Our team has years of experience with a professional moving operation covering multiple states. We know how to safely move heavy furniture, fragile antiques, and oversized equipment. Nothing is too big or too awkward for us to handle.
And the pickup is just the beginning. Once we have your items cataloged and photographed, we get them in front of thousands of buyers who would never walk into a single consignment shop. When something sells, our moving crew delivers it directly to the buyer. The entire chain from your living room to the buyer's front door is handled by one team. No handoffs, no shipping carriers, no strangers at your door.
This is not just a consignment service that happens to offer pickup. The pickup and delivery infrastructure is what makes our model work. It is why we can offer higher sale prices, faster turnaround, and a genuinely effortless experience for our clients. When you do not have to worry about logistics, you can focus on what matters: getting paid a fair price for your items.
Everything you need to know about our consignment pickup service.
We schedule a time that works for you and come directly to you. Our team catalogs every item you want to sell, takes professional photos, and handles all the heavy lifting. You do not need to transport anything anywhere. The entire pickup process has no cost and no obligation.
We currently serve the greater Chicago metropolitan area for in-home pickup. This includes the city of Chicago and surrounding suburbs. We are expanding to additional markets soon. Call us at (847)-444-9657 to confirm your location.
No. There is zero cost to you. We only earn a percentage of the sale price when your items actually sell. If nothing sells, you owe us nothing. The pickup, listing, photography, buyer communication, and delivery are all included at no extra charge.
Traditional consignment shops require you to haul items to their store, list them in one physical location with limited foot traffic, and often let items sit for months. Sale Advisor comes to you, gets your items maximum exposure to buyers, and delivers with our own moving team. You get more buyers, better prices, and zero effort.
If an item does not sell within an agreed-upon period, we work with you on next steps. We can adjust pricing, increase exposure, or return unsold items to you. You are never charged for items that do not sell. Our goal is to get you the best price, not to rush a sale.
Our delivery team brings sold items directly to buyers in the Chicago area. No shipping costs, no porch pirates, no strangers showing up at your home for pickup. Delivery is handled entirely by our professional crew, which means larger items like furniture and appliances sell much faster than they would with shipping-only options.
You receive your payout after the item has been delivered to the buyer and the transaction is confirmed. The typical timeline from sale to payout is a few business days. We keep you updated throughout the entire process via text or call at (847)-444-9657.
Absolutely. During the in-home walkthrough, you walk us through your space and tell us exactly what you want to sell. We never pressure you to part with anything you want to keep. You have full control over what gets listed, and you can remove items at any time before they sell.
Schedule your in-home pickup consultation today. We catalog your items, get them sold, deliver to buyers, and get you paid. No cost until your items sell.
