Why establish a marine consignment store?
As island residents, we are water-oriented, and most of us have marine ‘stuff’ lying around. Even if we don’t have any use for it, we can’t throw it out… because it has value. It is worth something! Anyone who has owned a boat, or thought about owning a boat, knows that anything “marine” is likely to cost an arm and a leg due to a very significant mark-up. This allows the buyer to purchase marine equipment at bargain prices, allows the seller to recover space in their garage/attic/basement as well as some capital, and allows us, the consignment store, to continue to bring sellers, buyers, and bargains together for the benefit of all involved.
