Consignment shops also known as second-hand stores offer used goods at a much greater bargain than had you purchased it brand new.

Many consignments also offer new items in addtion to retro style items being sold. "In the context of sale, it is usually understood that the consignee (the seller) pays the consignor (the person who owns the item) a portion of the proceeds from the sale. Payment is not made until and unless the item actually sells. The consignor retains title to the item at all times, and can end the arrangement at any time by requesting return of the item. A specified period of time is commonly arranged, after which time if the item does not sell the owner can reclaim the item."

Features of Consignment are as follows: 1)The Relation between the two parties is that of consignor and consignee and not that of buyer and seller 2)The consignor is entitled to receive all the expenses in connection with consignment 3)The consignee is not responsible for damage of goods during transport or any other procedure. 4)Goods are sold at the risk of consignor. The profit or loss belongs to consignor only but don't let this discourage you from using a consignment shop.

This is a great way to get rid of your items if you don't wish to be overcharged by ebay and do not have time to put on a yard sale. The rule of thumb is that your items will take anywhere from 1 week to 1 month depending on the size, quantity, and value of your items.
