Secondi Consignment StoreYang Chen, I'm so sorry I'm late. Has the program started yet?
Oh, I'm so sorry everyone. Hello everyone! Welcome to American Cafe. My apologies.
Just go ahead without me. I'm going to get my bags...
Shopping? No, no, no. I was not shopping.
What bags? Oh, these bags? Right, You see, Yang Chen, I was doing research.
Research on ... buying and selling.
Okay, I may have done a little shopping. But I just wanted to get in the mood. Because I thought shopping is such a popular pastime for Americans, we could do a show on shopping. What do you think?
Oh, absolutely! Actually for today's show I thought we could talk about a special type of store that I've always wanted to know more about, a consignment store!
The one and the same! It's called Secondi Consignment Store. And when I went back, I spoke with Molly, an employee there, who helped me understand exactly how a consignment store operates.
A consignment store is a store where people own the items that the store sells for them on their behalf. The original owner of the items is only paid once the items are sold on the store.
Let's listen to Molly again as she talks more about how a consignment store operates.
The consigner comes in. One of the managers goes through the items and tells the consigner "Yes, we can sell it" or "No, we can't." "Here's what we think we can sell it for" pricewise. And then the consigner gets 50 percent of that price.
