Members Handstitched Posted October 8, 2008 Members Report Posted October 8, 2008 I consign some of my slings and holsters, but ONLY with folks I have known for YEARS AND YEARS. I will assist with shops that are having big sales, open houses and such by allowing them a HUGE box of goodies to sell as a one-shot 2-3 day consignment, then I get all my gear back and a check for what is sold.My 2 cents, .0000078271903 after taxes, Andy G'Day , From my own experience, ( and that of my Mothers, she does handicrafts) when we have had stock on consignment in small in retail shops (Western Aust.), the stock isn't always looked after very well, and if it doesn't sell , it does become shopsoiled and some retailers are getting a bit greedy with their % .So now, I'm quite happy to sell my wares at markets , fairs etc. With markets, I have made the effort to be consistant and turn up every time, and it has paid off too, because as a result, I have built up a lot of good will and a good reputation. If a shop want my goods, then they can buy some product outright, but I'm quite happy to give them some discount on the price depending on how much they buy. I won't ever do consignment again. All the best, Handstitched Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called? Incontinentia.......Incontinentia Buttocks '
