Payment Plans

Some pieces are worth waiting for. A payment plan lets you take the one you actually want off the market today, instead of settling for the smaller piece because the better one landed in a bad week.

Try Afterpay first

If the piece is around $2,000 or under, use Afterpay at checkout. Four payments, approved on the spot, nothing to arrange with us and nothing to wait for. Approval is Afterpay's decision, not ours, and the amount you can spend depends on your own account history with them.

If the piece is above that, or Afterpay does not work for you, our own plan is below.

How our plan works

  1. You put 30% down. That covers our cost on the piece, which is the only reason we can pull a one of one off the shelf and hold it for you.
  2. The piece comes off the site. Out of the listings, out of the live sale rotation, tagged with your name and set aside in the back.
  3. You pay the rest monthly. No credit check, no interest, no third party in the middle. Just us and you.
  4. It ships the day it clears. Packed by hand, insured and tracked. The piece stays with us until the final payment lands.

The terms, in plain language

  • Minimum piece price: $250.
  • Deposit: 30% of the piece price, paid today.
  • Payments: monthly.
  • Pieces from $1,500 up: monthly payments of at least $500, up to 12 months.
  • Pieces under $1,500: monthly payments of at least $150, up to 3 months.
  • Interest and fees: none. You pay the price on the tag and nothing more.
  • The deposit is non-refundable. We are saying that plainly rather than burying it. It is what makes holding a rare piece off the market for months possible.
  • Shipping: the piece ships once the final payment clears. It is not shipped in advance.
  • Missed payments: you get one reminder. If the payment is still outstanding 14 days after that, the plan ends, the piece goes back on sale, and the deposit and any payments made are kept.
  • Changing your mind: talk to us. We would rather work something out than lose a customer, but the terms above are what we fall back on.

Start a plan

Fill in the form below and tell us which piece you want. Include the product name and number, for example "Santa Rosa Tourmaline #2", or just paste the link to it.

We reply the same day with a deposit invoice. Nothing is held until the deposit is paid, so if someone else buys it in the meantime, it is gone. That is the nature of one of one.

Questions before you commit? Ask them in the message box. We would rather answer ten questions than have you start a plan you are not sure about.
