A consignment shop is a retail store that sells second-hand items on behalf of their owners. When someone wants to sell their used goods, they bring them to the shop, where the store displays and sells the items. The owner receives a percentage of the sale price once the item is sold, while the shop keeps the rest as a commission. These shops often carry a variety of items, including clothing, furniture, and home decor. They provide a sustainable way to shop, allowing customers to find unique pieces while giving sellers a chance to earn money from items they no longer need.
