Understanding Your Earnings
In a consignment partnership, the shop handles the marketing, staffing, rent, and credit card processing fees. In exchange, the sale price is shared between the store and the consignor.
Pro Tip: Higher-value items often sell faster but are more sensitive to markdown schedules. Use the calculator to see how a 20% drop affects your bottom line versus waiting for a full-price sale.
Why the "Split" Varies
Most shops offer a split between **40% and 60%** to the consignor. This varies based on:
- Luxury Status: High-end designer bags may offer a 70% split to the consignor.
- Item Preparation: If the shop provides cleaning or repair services, the split may favor the store.
- Store Credit Bonus: Many shops offer an extra 10% if you take your payout as store credit.
The Impact of Markdowns
If an item stays on the rack for 30+ days, most shops apply an automatic discount. This keeps the inventory fresh and encourages buyers to "act now." While this lowers the final payout, it is often better than having the item expire and go unsold.
