About the Book

Another gold rush has begun in America, but this time the gold is disguised as second-hand goods. These goods are valuable, plentiful, and can be had for next to nothing. Unneeded household decor, clothing, electronics, musical instruments, antiques, artwork and more are being consigned to vintage resellers at a fraction of their original retail value. And, the revenues generated by consignment shops are astounding.

Sales at resale shops increased over fifty percent between 2008-2016, while discount store sales fell by half, and department stores lost one quarter of their revenues during the same period. In 2018, used goods sales in the U.S. totaled $19 billion, with vintage clothing sales growing twenty-one times faster than new clothing sales. Full-price retailers are suffering while re-commerce is thriving.

Today, entrepreneurs flock to capitalize on the used-goods consignment bonanza. In the coming decade, hundreds of startup consignment shops will open across America, offering a variety of vintage goods. Some shops will succeed, others will fail. Dealers who plan well will prosper. Running a consignment shop is more than just "what do I sell and where do I get it", but the realities of taxes, insurance, sales, marketing, websites, leases, employees, cash flow, financial statements, and much more. Would-be shop owners can either learn as they go, or prepare in advance.

In The Consignment Gold Rush, 45-year veteran reseller Jordan explains your operating choices so you won't be ambushed by unexpected consequences.

Starting a new business of any sort is divided into two distinct processes: imagineering and engineering. The Imagineering section will lead you to such discoveries as:

What sells best in your market

What the ideal location looks like

How much money you need to get started

What equipment and fixtures you must have

How to open a shop that's fully stocked from "day one"

How to calculate what your profits will be under various scenarios

The engineering process covered in this book discusses the how-to of getting set up, and the basics of running a retail operation. Here's a sample of the topics:

Dealing with "The Man" licenses, permits, leases, taxes, lawyers, accountants, banking, and the IRS

How to keep a steady flow of customers coming into your store

Pricing tactics that will keep your inventory moving and assure a profi

Layout & merchandising techniques that will turn your shop into a selling powerhouse

Strategies for boosting revenue without raising your commission

Minding your money

This book guides you through both imagineering and engineering. When you have finished reading it, you will have a detailed plan for establishing and operating your unique shop in your town. Every town is different, and every marketplace different; there is no "one size fits all" business plan for consignment shops. This book will guide you to your plan.

The promise to you is this: if you grasp these materials and apply the processes in The Consignment Gold Rush, you will have all the tools you need to open and run a successful consignment shop. Will this book prevent failure? No, but it will increase your chance of success.
