How To Sell To Us
1. Your first step is to identify what you wish to keep and what you want to sell. That way if we come out, we have an idea of what you are working with. We do not offer estate sales on your property, but we do offer buyouts, cleanouts and in certain circumstances we will sell high value sought after items on consignment.
​
2. Call/text us at 952-923-7364 or email us at urbanupmn@gmail.com . We will decide whether we need to schedule a free in-home consultation, or if we want you to email/text us pics. We do not sell everything from an estate typically. We are a good solution when you do not want to host an estate sale on site or are not allowed to.
​
THE NEXT STEP IS IF WE DECIDE WE NEED TO COME OUT TO THE HOUSE FOR A FREE IN PERSON CONSULTATION
​
3. Please make it easy for us to see what items are for sale ideally placing them in one common area.
​
4. Once you decide to move forward with us, we will email you a contract to sign.

Our Deal With You
After we determine what we want to sell for you we might do it one of 2 ways, either we will buy them or sell them on consignment.
When We Buy Items:
-
Typically we buy items, we reserve consignment for the best items, typically items where the value is much higher.
-
We typically offer 30-70% of the value of the item. The more sought after, valuable and easier to sell items receive a higher percentage.
-
Items with less desirability or damage we will pay less.
-
You get the money up front and do not have to wait for consignment.
-
We tend to take more items when we do a buyout, consignment we are more picky.
When We Consign Items:​
-
If your item(s) fit what we are looking for we might offer consignment.
-
This is only for the most sought after valuable items. Happens less than 5% of the time
-
Our percentage depends on the type of items and how much work it is to sell and the value.
