Takausmyynti

Takausmyynti, also known as consignment selling, is a business model where a seller (the consignor) transfers possession of goods to a retailer (the consignee) for the purpose of selling them. The consignee does not purchase the goods outright but rather agrees to pay the consignor a predetermined price or a percentage of the sale price only after the goods are sold. This arrangement is common for various types of merchandise, including clothing, furniture, art, and collectibles.

The primary advantage for the consignor is that they can sell their goods without the upfront costs and risks associated with traditional retail. They retain ownership of the items until they are sold. For the consignee, takausmyynti allows them to offer a diverse range of products to their customers without investing capital in inventory. Their profit comes from the commission or markup on the sold items.

A consignment agreement typically outlines the terms of the sale, including the selling price, the consignee's commission rate, the duration of the consignment period, and policies regarding unsold items, such as returns to the consignor or markdowns. If the items are not sold within the agreed-upon timeframe, they are usually returned to the consignor, or the consignor may decide to reduce the price to encourage a sale. This model facilitates the movement of goods and offers a flexible retail option for both individuals and businesses.
