Consignment
(redirected from consigning)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Consignment
Transfer of goods to a seller while title to the merchandise is retained by the owner.

Consignment
The act or practice of the owner of a good transfering the good to a second party, usually to be sold. The parties split the proceeds from the sale according to some agreed-upon arrangement. At all times before the sale, the original owner of the good retains ownership and may end the consignment by requesting the good's return. Generally speaking, a consignment lasts for a certain period of time, after which the good is returned to the owner, unless it first is sold.
