I'm just wondering if anyone else here puts stuff in others' stores on consignment and what percentage you use.

Right now, I work with two stores like this, one takes 35% the 50%...what is average? Any input on this?

Thanks!

    I have been consigning for years. I never accept a larger than 30% split.

    A lot of places ask for a higher %age, but I ceased giving away my art years ago. LOL...I consider it an honour that I grant them the ability to offer my art in their store.

      Thanks for your input Geoff! I admire your integrity about selling your art. Although I suppose when you are selling a bar of soap for example, you don't have as much time or personal enrgy in each bar as you would a work of art. LOL

    Stores I've consigned in have all contracted for 50%, except one for 60% for store. This seems standard.

      Most stores I consign at ask for 40%. A few just ask me what I want for te item and they mark it up to the amoun they want to recieve. It works out either way. I remember te places that charged only 20%.
