Consignment stores are retail shops that sell second-hand items on behalf of their owners. When someone wants to sell their clothing, furniture, or accessories, they can bring these items to a consignment store. The store then displays the items for sale and takes a percentage of the sale price once the item is sold.
These stores benefit both sellers and buyers. Sellers can earn money from items they no longer need, while buyers can find unique and often lower-priced goods. Consignment stores promote sustainability by encouraging the reuse of items, reducing waste, and supporting local economies.
