Tin Shed Sports Bicycle Consignment Guidelines

At Tin Shed Sports, we are committed to offering high-quality, safe, and reliable bicycles to our customers. In exchange for committing your equipment for consignment, Tin Shed will help sell your equipment by:

• Allowing the equipment to be sold in a neutral, professional atmosphere that eliminates the uncertainty of dealing with someone coming to your house and exchanging funds

• Allowing the equipment to be sold by a professional who knows the equipment inside and out

• Allowing the customer to acknowledge that the equipment has been been inspected such that it is functioning as intended

• Tin Shed will advertise your equipment in the shop and on our website, and may use social media to help increase advertising
