Understanding Consignment Shops
A consignment shop displays products for percentages of the sale price. An owner brings in an item and gets paid when it sells. Shops have rules on consignment. Usually, when an owner gives an item to a shop to sell, the shop holds it for an arranged time. If sold then, the owner gets 40-60% of the sale. Before consigning, items must be in good condition.
A consignment store relies on consistent inventory from consignors. If consignors do not supply enough quality items, it impacts profitability and merchandise variety. Consignees store and protect valuable merchandise they do not own, requiring space and care to prevent damage, loss or theft.
