-
Pricing – Greene Street pricing personnel research fair market value for each designer item based on age, condition, label and demand. A High End Form/Section may be completed by the consignor at drop-off, to aid us in the pricing process.
Authentication – Greene Street feels ethically (and is legally) responsible for providing our shoppers with authentic goods only, and therefore has a strict policy not to sell inauthentic (faux) goods. We use a reputable third-party platform called Entrupy to authenticate select items (handbags & wallets only) that we price over $500; in this case, a $25 fee will be applied to each qualifying item, which will be taken from the consignor’s commission payment. Our pricing team are also highly trained and have years of collective experience authenticating and pricing designer and other goods, and we do our best to authenticate all goods accurately. Designer items may be further passed-on if authenticity cannot be verified with confidence. Serial numbers, authenticity cards and original purchase receipts are easily replicated and therefore are not considered a form of authentication, but these items do help in adding value to authentic goods. A $119 fee will apply to Hermes bags.
-
Entrupy is a reputable and highly accurate third-party Authentication platform that adds an additional layer to our Authentication Process. A special device is used to analyze the materials and details of each qualifying handbag or wallet using AI technology. If/when an item is verified as Authentic, a Certificate will be printed and provided with that bag/wallet.
-
Entrupy can be applied to verify Authenticity on the following brands as of August 2024:
Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Burberry, Celine, Chanel, Chloé, Christian Louboutin, Coach, Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Givenchy, Goyard, Gucci, Loewe, Louis Vuitton, MCM, Prada, Saint Laurent, Salvatore Ferragamo, Valentino, Hermès* (*$119 AUTHENTICATION FEE). A current list can be found by checking Entrupy’s website www.entrupy.com.
-
The flat $25 Entrupy fee will be applied to each item that qualifies:
Handbags & Wallets only, AND
Items that Greene Street prices over $500, AND
Brands that Entrupy authenticates.
It is recommended that the Consignor complete a High End Form for any items originally retailing over $500. The Form will allow the consignor to opt for a call and/or text to verify pricing prior to applying Entrupy (and the fee) to the qualifying item(s).
After pricing is confirmed, Entrupy will be applied, and Authenticity Certificates will be printed and included with each item.
Once Entrupy is applied, the fee will apply for each item. If/when the item sells, the fee will come from commission. If the item comes back as inauthentic or unverifiable, and/or if the consignor wishes to Reclaim or have the item back for any other reason after Entrupy is applied, the consignor must pay the fee in-store prior to having the bag returned to them.
-
Item(s) that Entrupy cannot verify authenticity on will come back as “Unidentified”. A certificate will NOT be provided as the bag cannot be verified; if the consignor wishes to have the item back, the consignor must pay the fee in-store prior to having the bag returned to them.
-

Once processed, you will be emailed with your contract, which includes itemized pricing, passed-on item information and your Reclaim Deadline.

Process Date is the projected date by which Greene Street will price your items and email your itemized contract, typically 14-21 days after drop-off. Our pricing team often processes ahead of this date, so you may receive your email sooner. Contract emails commonly go to spam or promotions, so be sure to check those folders. If you do not receive your emailed contract by the Process Date given at drop-off, it is important that you call the store to check on the status of your items.
-
Items will be further screened at the time of pricing. You will be given the option during drop-off to pick up any items that our pricing team may further pass on. Your Pick Up Date is the date by which you will need to pick up any further passed-on items. Your contract email will let you know whether you have items to pick up at this time. If you do not come into the store to pick up any further passed-on items by this date, those items will become property of Greene Street and will not be returned to you.

If your item is authentic and does not sell, the fee will still apply and you will receive the authentication paperwork at time of Reclaim. -
“Reclaim” is when consignors wish to have unsold items returned to them at the end of the contract period.
Consignors interested in Reclaiming unsold items should CONTACT the STORE on or up to 3 days before the Reclaim Deadline to find out what is left to Reclaim; we do not provide updates until that time. The store will provide your updated contract, noting sold and unsold items. If you wish to RECLAIM UNSOLD ITEMS, you must schedule an appointment for a date that is ON OR UP TO 3 DAYS BEFORE YOUR RECLAIM DEADLINE by visiting greenestreet.com/reclaim. We do not allow walk-in reclaims; an appointment MUST be made online, where you will have two (2) options:
1.) Reclaim Yourself, FREE-of-charge, wherein you will look for the remaining items yourself; or
2.) Request Reclaim Concierge Service for a $9.99 fee, wherein the store team will find and have your items ready for your appointment. It is time-consuming for our staff to assist in searching for items, and takes them away from their other daily tasks, so we do charge a service fee for the staff to take additional time in doing so. If/when you pay that fee, several employees will look thoroughly for those items, over a period of 72 hours.

We do our best to keep up with customer demand for available drop-off appointments, however due to stock needs, staffing and seasonal changes, you may notice that appointments are not available at a given time.
Our online scheduler only typically has appointments available to schedule a few weeks out at a time. Once those are booked (they tend to book quickly!) the scheduler then simply shows nothing available. This does NOT mean that we are booked for the next year - we are only fully booked for the next few weeks.
Our corporate team reviews appointments weekly and will add new appointments based on needs of the business. Please kindly keep checking back to see if additional appointments have opened up. Canceled appointments will typically become available for scheduling as well.
Some of our stores offer walk-in drop-offs at certain times of day/week, which will be listed on the store's location page. At times we also offer pop-up walk-in events - sign up for emails to receive announcements about these and other events.
