Q: What are the costs of using Charity Benefits Unlimited®?

A: There are no up-front costs, and no hidden costs. You pay only for what you sell at your event, and simply return any unsold items. Charity Benefits Unlimited® is one of the few companies that offer all items on consignment at a fixed cost to your group. That way, you keep every dollar bid above our pre-established prices. Here are our pricing guidelines and recommendations:

● Charity Benefits Unlimited® will work with you to create a list of potential items and their retail prices. Non-Profit organizations get these items at 75% of their retail prices and start the bidding at the suggested retail price. If you receive only one bid, your group makes the guaranteed, donated 25% profit, however, every other bid on these items go 100% to the charity. Therefore, each additional bid increases your profit margin. We do not collect a single dollar above our pre-established prices, regardless of how much you receive on the item. If you chose to follow these guidelines you can never lose money or break even on a consigned item.

WARNING: Don't be tricked by companies that offer you a percentage of what the item sells for or offers to split the profit with you. This is your event, your patrons, and their generosity should go directly to the cause and not be split with the consignment company.
