About this ebook
The Practical Consignment Seller is the beginner's playbook for selling through online consignment — where ThredUp and The RealReal do all the work and you collect the payout. You'll learn how consignment differs from marketplace selling (and when the trade-off is worth it), how ThredUp's Clean Out Kit process really works, what they accept and reject, and the full payout math — including the tier table that explains why a $15 item earns you $1.69 while a $150 item earns you $100.
Then the luxury door: how The RealReal's authentication, commission tiers, and biweekly payouts work, what the experts look for, and which of your items belong there instead. Plus prep and packaging, realistic timelines (including the emotional stages of waiting), a sorting system for routing every item to its highest-value door, Rescue boxes as a bulk sourcing channel, and the money chapter — payouts, recordkeeping, and taxes in plain English — closing with a complete 60-day launch plan.
Fifteen chapters, each ending with Action Steps so you always know what to do next.
No hype. No get-rich-quick promises. Just the real system, explained like a funny friend would explain it — with the dad jokes left in.
