Antique Consignment Shops in Tennessee

How does antique consignment work?
You bring in an item, the shop displays and prices it for sale, and when it sells the store keeps an agreed percentage while you get the rest — you're paid only after the item actually sells, unlike selling outright to a dealer. Most shops set a consignment period, after which unsold items are marked down, returned, or donated per the agreement.

What percentage do consignment shops take?
It varies by shop and item type, but a 40-50% commission to the store is a common range for antiques and collectibles. Higher-value or harder-to-sell items sometimes carry different terms, so it's worth asking for the specific rate before consigning.
