What is a consignment shop?

If you're looking to make some money by selling furniture, clothing or household goods that you simply don't need any more, then you have a lot of options, such as listing an ad in the paper, holding a garage sale, putting your things up for auction on eBay or listing an ad online, just to name a few. But none of these are as effective as selling your things at consignment shops.

What are Consignment Shops?

Consignment shops are unique in that they enter into a certain arrangement with the owner of the goods that they are selling. Basically, the shop allows the owner to display the goods that they want to sell for free. The consignment shop sells these goods on the owner's behalf and, in return, gets a share of the profits that are made.

The Benefits of Selling on Consignment

Selling your goods at a consignment shop can be a lot more effective than attempting to sell them on your own due to the following reasons:

• You don't have to do any work - There's no need for you to constantly market whatever it is you're trying to sell or to speak with potential buyers on a regular basis in an attempt to convince them of the quality of your goods or to negotiate prices with them. A consignment shop will do all of this for you - and time is money, after all.
• You're more likely to sell your things - The consignment shop will also have a stake in selling your things since they won't make any money unless they do, which is why they take care to display their goods in a presentable manner and to advertise their store effectively.
• You're likely to make more money - Although the consignment shop will take a percentage of your profits, you're still likely to make more than if you were to sell on an auction site or through a garage sale. This is because people who go to consignment stores understand that the items for sale there are of high quality, which means there will be more competition for the goods there (and which means buyers won't be negotiating with you on prices).
