Pricing in consignment shops balances buyer expectations, condition, seasonality and your desired turnover. Start with a reference price, then adjust for condition, brand and market demand. Combine pricing with a clear markdown schedule to improve turnover without sacrificing profit.

Pricing Strategy Notes:
Reference Pricing & Market Checks
Use recent sale data and marketplace comparables as reference points. Track what similar condition items sold for and adjust your pricing to be competitive but profitable.
Condition & Brand Adjustments
Apply systematic adjustments for condition (e.g., -10% for fair, -20% for heavily worn) and brand desirability. Document these rules so staff price consistently.
Markdown Schedules & Bundling
Plan markdown windows (first markdown, second markdown) and test bundling strategies to move grouped items faster. Our Markdown Schedule Builder helps you simulate outcomes.
