consignment store

Seller-splits-profits retailer

A consignment store sells goods on behalf of their owners, taking a percentage of the sale price as commission.

Unlike thrift stores, items remain the property of the original owner until sold.

Consignment stores typically specialize in clothing, furniture, or antiques: She found a vintage designer dress at the consignment store for a fraction of retail.
