    Another problem with consignment is people are delusional about values and some are shocked to learn about fees.

      Yeah.... I have some friends and their family mentioned about possibly having me sell some stuff they've got and they've got some cool stuff, don't get me wrong. But they said I'd get like 20% and I'm just thinking, nah, that's a hard pass. I'd rather spend a day thrifting / flea markets / rummage sales and get thousands of dollars worth my own inventory that I actually want to list / sell / ship. If they're serious about selling stuff, I'd be willing to buy but I wouldn't be giving the money they can probably get on FBM by taking a few pictures and selling it themselves.

    • @SouthernVermontVintage

      First rule on consignment, have a contract, and make consigner aware that items can go for $1 and fee for selling is either a fixed price (if item does not sell) or 33% of final value. Then decide if you are putting minimum starting price or if it will be an absolute auction. The Contract or you need to educate the consigner, part of the job... ✌🏻💚🙏🏻

    It is not worth doing consignment. When I did it I would get 50%. 10% does not pay for your time and trouble.
    Recently did one for a friend. Buyer tried to pull an obvious switch. It was an older person so I said I would take it back and when I got it I would file report on it. I told him if you didn't do it and I didn't then there was obvious corruption with post office. It did scare him as he decided to keep it.
    After that I will never do consignment again. People do not understand the work and risk involved in selling online.
    I am not going to take the hit for someone who made no effort to sell it themselves.

    retail numbers today were only up 0.1 % ! I guess it depends on what someone is selling and price. My family started over in a different state. the last 6 months we have been buying stuff for our home. In the beginning of June we paid everything off that was on payments or layaway . My husband wants us to pay off the credit cards starting in July. I am not sure if this is the beginning of a recession or just a pull back with our economy. We moved from Texas to the Midwest to save 300 a month on rent. looking back it was worth it to save the money every month. rich people are shopping at Walmart , so you know the economy has to be bad.
