Question 1

What is consignment selling?

Accepted Answer

Consignment selling means a customer leaves an item with your store to sell on their behalf. You don’t buy the item upfront, and you pay the consignor only after the item sells.

Question 2

What’s the difference between consignment and buying inventory?

Accepted Answer

When you buy inventory, you pay for the item upfront and take on all the risk if it doesn’t sell. With consignment, you don’t commit capital upfront and only pay the consignor after the item sells.

Question 3

Is consignment better than buying outright?

Accepted Answer

Consignment can be better for higher-value or slower-moving items because it limits risk, expands your customer base, and lets you test new inventory categories without spending cash upfront.

Question 4

How does consignment help cash flow?

Accepted Answer

Consignment helps cash flow by letting you expand inventory without spending cash upfront. You collect payment from the buyer first, then pay the consignor, so cash stays in your business longer.

Question 5

Can I update the sale price of a consignment after the contract is written?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bravo allows stores to update the sale price of a consigned item after the contract is created, as long as the change follows your store’s consignment policies.

Question 6

Can I sell consigned items on Buya?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Consigned items can be listed on Buya, just like store-owned inventory, giving small businesses exposure while maintaining control over pricing, pickup, and fulfillment.

Question 7

Can my customers see what is currently on consignment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Customers can track their consigned items in the MobilePawn or Buya apps. Items are clearly tracked so consignment stays organized and accurate.

Question 8

Does Bravo handle the consignment contract?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bravo provides a contract template that includes your terms, dates, and conditions, so contracts are organized and accessible without manual paperwork or spreadsheets.

Question 9

What terms can I offer my consignors?

Accepted Answer

You control the terms. Bravo supports flexible consignment agreements, including payout percentages, pricing rules, time frames, and payout periods, such as delaying payout until after a return window.

Question 10

Can I consign a quantity of items (multiples of the same item)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bravo supports quantity-based consignments, so if a consignor brings multiple units of the same item, you can manage them under a single consignment agreement.
