A Sustainable Way to Buy and Sell Pre-Loved Items
Consignment Stores: How They Work
A consignment store sells secondhand items for their original owners, sharing the profit once sold. Its a win-win for sellers and shoppers alike!
- Sellers bring in/ ship us their items (clothing, accessories, art, etc.) they no longer need.
- The store displays and sells the items and an agreed-upon price.
- The seller gets paid a percentage of the sale price once the item is sold.
- The store keeps a commission as their fee for selling the items.
- Unsold items may be returned to the seller, or donated depending on store policy.
Its a great way for people to make money from their unused items while giving shoppers access to quality goods for lower prices
