What is Consignment?
Many people who hear the words "consignment shop" incorrectly think of some sort of thrift store that sells used clothes, collectibles, antiques and home decor. Although there are many places that resemble this kind of shopping experience, many consignment shops are very upscale galleries and showrooms that shoppers can visit to buy new items at discounted prices.
Consignment or the process of consigning means that someone who has these these items, known as the "consignor" wants to sell their valuables and seeks a venue where they can be displayed properly and be accessible to thousands of shoppers which gives them a greater chance to make the sale quickly with very little effort. That venue is a consignment shop. The owner of the consignment shop is known as the "consignee". The ownership of everything for sale or "consigned" remains that of the seller or "consignor" until those pieces are sold by the consignee at their consignment shop.
