Consignment stores work with consignors (individuals) to sell second-hand goods such as clothing, furniture, art, and jewelry. The store sells items on your behalf, and you receive 40% to 60% of the asking price if they sell. You only get paid if your goods sell. Pre-arranged terms cover profit sharing and the duration the item stays on shelves (e.g., 180 days at Fine Clothing). Consignment and thrifting share similar origins, but consignment stores are typically run for profit.
