You no longer need to book a drop off time but if someone has booked you may need to wait until we can take your items. You can drop in Tuesday, Thursday and Friday between 11-2 and Wednesday evening between 5-7.

Please send your typed list by support ticket or by email (caro@midlandswapshop.com) . Send it as an attachment (pdf or word doc) or copy and paste. Do not just type into the support ticket as it does not have an auto save feature.
You can also email it to us. Do not worry if you do not have a printer. We will print a copy off.
If you cannot send a typed list, that is okay too. We have now a way to transcribe an hand written list into text!
The new system was designed to work with typed copy as a way to keep consignor costs from rising as it is very fast and efficient.
We are not accepting LARGE ITEMS without previous approval and space limitations. We are also not able to take helmets (of the safety kind) not collectibles kind. We are also unable to take any sort of childrens furniture (even antique) or safety items.
QUALITY ITEMS ONLY PLEASE:
We DO NOT accept low value items, Box lots, No used clothing, broken items, dirty items, smoke smelling or mold/musty smelling items, used kitchen items, etc…) You may see these items on the site from time to time but we do not accept them from general consignors. Under special circumstances when we are under contract to try to sell everything from a FULL ESTATE you may see box lots or lower value items. If we feel any of your items do not have the potential to get 20.00 or more we may choose to not list that item and have you come pick it back up or we may include it in with another of your lots if possible. Please be sure to TEST all your items and list any issues, damage or repairs made to the items in your descriptions. We do not want the items coming back as not as described.
MINIMUM ITEMS TO DROP OFF:
We ask that you bring in a MINIMUM of 10 items as the BARE MINIMUM, if you are just bringing small items in a single box or bag please contact us and we will make arrangements as we do not want to waste an entire time slot for 1 item. We have LIMITED 20 minute time slots available for dropping off and without 10 or more items from all the spots we wont have enough items for the auction. We don’t mind if you bring 100 or more lots of quality items just be sure you have at least 10 as the minimum.
If you need a replacement cheque it will be a 40.00 fee for it.
DROP OFF BOOKING TIME:
NEW!! 20 minute drop off time, so 3 time slots per hour. Each drop off is 20 minutes. We find people rarely need more than this. If you feel you have a lot of items, you can book back to back time slots. Please be on time, as it keeps everything running smoothly. Have your list ready, your items clean and ready to photograph and sorted in a way we can easily sort your lots.
Thank you.

(Please do not use this on auction close night it consumes a lot of resources on the server and will LOG your use of it).
**Once you see the two X X‘s next to your item in this weeks total that indicates the invoice has been sent to the winning bidder and the auction is officially over for that item (This can take up to an hour after that lot is finished). That amount then will not be listed in your current running total so as the invoices are generated you may notice your current running total decreasing. When you seen a a check and an “X”, that means that we have been paid but you have not. When you see two check marks the account has been settled.

UNSOLD ITEMS
PLEASE NOTE: UNSOLD CONSIGNMENTS MUSE BE PICKED UP BY THEN END OF THE FOLLOWING WEEK. If your unsold items are not picked up we will consider them abandoned. Abandoned items have a disposal fee so please come get them!
ITEMS NOT PICKED UP BY WINNING BIDDER
It happens, we don’t like it either. When it does happen it causes us all extra work. Unclaimed items (unclaimed or paid for 14 days after auction close) that sell for over 15.00 can be offered to the runner up bidder. We would contact them and ask them if they wish to acquire the item still. We can also relist items that originally sold for over 20.00 or return them to you (the consignor) however the would become a unsold item and the 4.00 listing fee would still apply. Items left here past 30 days will be considered abandoned by both the bidder and the consignor and it is the consignors responsibility to ask us to relist them, offer them to the runner up bidder or come and get them. Abandoned items will have a disposal fee so please come get them! We no longer donate items. They must be picked up by you in a timely manner.
