    Hi Wayne, Thanks for your post! When we first started, we did some
    consignment and got burned a couple of times. We currently have only
    2 places (previous clients) that we still do consignment and there is
    a 20% fee on anything they keep longer than 30 days. Also we don't do
    the percentage game. We have our wholesale price, period. Whatever
    they want to charge their customers above our price is up to them. I
    feel good about the pieces we are developing. If a gallery wants to
    consign, but won't buy outright, I go to another gallery. I certainly
    respect a gallery's choice on whether to consign or buy. But
    consigning reduces my available inventory without putting money in
    my pocket, so it's no longer a part of my business plan.
