Greater Griffin Christian Home Educators

MVC is a consignment service.  We help homeschoolers and schools to sell their gently used curriculum.  You bring us books – We send you checks.

Most homeschoolers and schools have curriculum and other items that you bought but never used. You have items that are no longer needed, because all your children have passed that grade level.  Instead of these things gathering dust on your shelves, let us SELL them for you!

This is the simplified version:  You bring, or ship your items to be resold to us.  Fill out our “Consignment Agreement”; we assign you a Customer Number.  This is a 3 month contract between you and us.  We actively merchandise your consignments during this 3 month period and we provide you a 60% return for the items sold.  You will receive a detailed list of items that have been sold.

As an added incentive, I am offering Homeschool Groups 5% cash for using our service during the months of January and February 2007.  When signing up, simply provide the name of your Homeschool Group and when your items sell, we will forward 5% of the sales price to your Homeschool group.    

Here is how it works:

Place your books in a box.  On the outside of the box, include your name.  Inside the box place an index card with your name, address, phone number, and email address.  On a separate sheet of paper list the items that you want to sell.  I will send you an email to confirm receipt of the items that I received and I will give you an ID number.  We will mark your items with your customer number (Please remove any “sale” type stickers from the items). 

Bring your consignment materials on Tuesday thru Thursday and I will promptly photograph and list them on the internet.   At the end of each month, I will mail out detailed information on what item(s) were sold, along with a check for the items.  We handle payment processing and shipping to the buyer.  You simply sit back and receive the checks.

You can also mail items to me.  To do this, box up your items, and remember to enclose an index card with your name, address, phone number, and email address (do this for each box that you send).  On a separate sheet of paper list the items that you want to sell.  To keep your shipping inexpensive, media mail is best (we do not reimburse for your shipping costs).  I will send you an email to confirm receipt of the items that I received and I will give you an ID number. 

You may think that it is impractical for me to consign my books, especially with the expense of mailing books to us.  Consider this:  If you were to ship us 25 books weighing 30 pounds or less (using Media Mail at the USPS), the shipping charge would be $13.  If those books sold for an average price of $6, the gross income from those books would be $150.  Now at a 60% consignment rate less shipping, you would net $77.  If you have books of higher value, you could profit more than this. 

I look forward to working with you soon. 

Sincerely,
