I consigned some fitness equipment at the beginning of June. I made myself a note to call Play it Again Sports (PIAS) about a month later (I called mid-July) to check the status of the consignment. An employee said the equipment had sold on July 1 and payment would be sent out. I wrote down the name, date and time I called. I left myself another reminder to call if payment was not received in a reasonable time.
On August 2, still no check received. I called them again and talked to a different employee. I told him whom I talked to, when the item sold and what they owed me. I was told they don't automatically send out payment and there may have been some miscommunication. How does that work? They got their consignment fee (50%), but they don't send me my split? I said maybe I misunderstood when I called previously.
I made arrangements for the check to be sent to me, since I live in another town that doesn't have a PIAS. It would cost me more in gas to go pick up the check than the actual payment. Stay tuned...
I read a post from a consignor in North Dakota who had a very similar experience at a different PIAS.
