The following Commission is based on the quantity and quality of the items sold and is based on the gross dollar volume of the sale:
POSH will keep separate receipt books for each participant.

Upon agreement of this proposal, the Seller is to remit a $ 200.00 deposit to secure their space and to ensure that the items will be in the sale. Once the items are delivered to the sales site, the $ 200.00 deposit will be refunded.
Preparation For, During and After the Sale Policy:
Once the photographs have been taken for the website and it is published, it is requested that no items be removed from the sale prior to or during the sale (items may be added with no problem). If the Seller wants certain items priced too high and beyond reasonable market values, the items will be considered unsaleable. Any items removed or made unsaleable due to high pricing, prior to or during the sale and were shown on the website and/or past Seller discussions, will be subject to a commission based on the fair market value of the items and will be added to the total of POSH Estate Sales’ service commission.

Upon completion of the sale a generalized list by category of all items sold and the cash received minus commission and Share of Sale’s Cost (advertising & space cost) will be sent to Seller via cashier’s check or USPS money orders.
