# Want someone to sell your stuff for you? Your honest options in Albuquerque > Consignment, estate sale companies, auction houses or a reseller — what each takes and how long it runs, and when a free pickup makes more sense.

Under a minute. ### I confirm what I can take I review every request myself and reply about what is a fit and whether I can make your date, if you have one. Nothing is promised until I confirm. ### Set it out On the day we agree on, leave small items on the porch or driveway — you don't need to be home for those. Heavy items, appliances and anything inside need someone there to give me access. ### I haul it free I pick it up at no cost and give it a second life through resale and reuse. ## Four ways to have it sold for you - **A consignment store** sells your piece and pays you a share when it sells. Best for good furniture, outdoor gear, instruments and in-season clothing. Ask for the split in writing, how long they hold a piece, whether the price drops over time, and what happens to what doesn’t sell. (Furniture Haven is a locally owned furniture consignment store — [details in my where-to-sell guide](https://abqreclaimed.com/where-to-sell-used-gear-albuquerque#furniture).) - **An estate sale company** runs a sale in the house and takes a percentage. Best when a whole house holds enough value to clear the company’s minimum. Ask the [five questions before you sign](https://abqreclaimed.com/estate-sale-leftovers-pickup-albuquerque) — especially what happens to the leftovers. - **An auction house** is for one valuable piece or a real collection: art, a rare sign, a good watch, a collection of anything. Expect a commission and a wait for the next sale date. - **A reseller who lists it online for you** — some resellers and shops sell items online for a share of the sale. Best for small things worth real money one at a time. Ask how they price, how long it takes and what you get back if it doesn’t sell. ## Or sell it outright, today If you’d rather have cash now than a share later, local stores buy specific things outright — instruments, sporting goods, cameras, records, mid-century furniture. My [where-to-sell guide](https://abqreclaimed.com/where-to-sell-used-gear-albuquerque) lists who buys what in Albuquerque, with addresses and phone numbers. ## When a free pickup is the better deal - It’s a mix — some good things, a lot of in-between — and no one store wants all of it. - You’re on a deadline: a closing date, a move, a lease ending. - It’s what’s left after the estate sale, the consignment shop or the family has picked through. - The share and the wait aren’t worth it to you, and you’d rather it simply go to someone who’ll use it. That’s where I come in. I pick up the resale-worthy part free, by photo request, resell it (I’ve sold on eBay since 2003) and reclaim the metal from what’s dead. I don’t pay cash and I don’t take a share of anything — you get the space back, and a [Reclaim Receipt](https://abqreclaimed.com/reclaim-receipt) saying where the main pieces went. [Text me a photo](sms:+15052503804). ## Most people do a mix Sell the two or three pieces that are worth real money — a consignment store or an auction house for those — let family take what they want, and let me take the rest of the good stuff in one trip. [How a clear-out works with me](https://abqreclaimed.com/clear-out-albuquerque), or [what I most want to hear about](https://abqreclaimed.com/want-list). ## What I don’t do - Consignment — I don’t sell things on your behalf or split the proceeds. - Cash offers, books included. Books go to a local book donation drop box. - Junk hauling — trash, mattresses and worn-out furniture go to a hauler or the City’s Large Item Pick-Up. **Before you ask — the honest limits.** Abq Reclaimed is just me, and I run a couple of other small businesses. So free pickups are **limited and entirely at my discretion** — I can't take everything, and some weeks I can't do pickups at all. Send a photo and I'll tell you honestly whether I can fit it in; if I can't, I'll point you elsewhere. (Prefer to drop off? We can sometimes arrange that by appointment.) When I do collect, I send you a [Reclaim Receipt](https://abqreclaimed.com/reclaim-receipt) afterward telling you where your stuff went.

Yes, a few kinds: consignment stores (they sell it and pay you a share when it sells), estate sale companies (they run a sale in the house for a percentage), auction houses (for one valuable piece or a collection) and resellers who list items online for a share. Ask each for their split, how long it takes and what happens to what doesn’t sell. If you’d rather skip the share and the wait, I pick up the good stuff free — text a photo to (505) 250-3804. ### Will you sell my things on eBay and give me part of the money? No. Abq Reclaimed doesn’t do consignment and doesn’t pay cash. I pick up free, resell what I can and keep the resale value — that’s what pays for the trip. If you want a share of the sale, a consignment store or a reseller who sells on commission is the right call. ### How much do consignment stores take? It depends on the store and the item. Ask for the split in writing, how long they’ll hold a piece, whether the price drops over time, and whether unsold pieces come back to you or get donated. ### Is an estate sale worth it? When a whole house holds enough value to clear the company’s minimum, often yes. For a few good pieces in a mostly ordinary house, it can cost more than it brings. My [estate-sale leftovers page](https://abqreclaimed.com/estate-sale-leftovers-pickup-albuquerque) has the five questions to ask before you sign. ### What happens to what doesn’t sell? Ask before you sign — some companies leave it, some charge to haul it, some donate it. Leftovers are exactly what I pick up free when they’re still good: tools, vintage pieces, electronics, quality clothing. ### Do you pay, and is it tax-deductible? No and no. Abq Reclaimed is for-profit: the pickup is free, I don’t pay cash, and it isn’t tax-deductible. You get a Reclaim Receipt saying where things went, not a tax receipt. ## Rather skip the selling? Send a couple photos and I will tell you honestly if it is a fit. Free pickup across Albuquerque, by approval.
