i think it depends on the company giving you. basically, my side only give consignment to people we know well. We just give them a cheaper price, and let them go sell

Yea..depends on the shop but usually its 40-60 or even 45-55 if the shop is evil or if they want to give 10% discounts to their customers

what i mean is that your commission should be 30% of the price of the item sold. e.g- you sell a $10 top, so you should pocket $3 and pass $7 to the owner.

hi all, as there is a thread on this consignment topic, instead of starting a new topic just thought as asking some questions through this thread...

let's say my product costs me $3 per piece, i intend to sell it at $10, so my profit is $7. so if i would like to put my items at a shop to sell at $10, if based on 30-70, does that mean that I can only take back $7 for one item sold?

sorry for this very noob question for i do not have any experience in this. would someone please be so kind as to enlighten me?
