Can I get books on consignment to start a bookstore?
Q. I would like to open a children's bookstore, but I know the cost of stocking to books will be enormous. Does anyone know of any place where you can get books on consignment?

How do I start a store selling factory seconds?
Q. Where do I start? Where do I get stock from? Is it possible to sell on consignment? I can see a potential for a store in my area that sells a variety of goods at a competitive price and that gives friendly, customer orientated service. I thought maybe factory seconds would give cash flow while establishing the store to sell other goods. I will have to lease a shop...would like eventually to build a large chain of them...

A. You'll need to contact the factories and see what you need to do to be able to bid on them or buy them outright. No factory or manufacturer does stuff via consignment. You'll need to get a shop Setup some purchasing contracts and purchase initial stock Get all your licensing in place to sell retail get all your marketing in place Then Best of luck

How do I sell my items?
Q. I crochet items with thread: doilies, crosses, crinoline girls, etc. and was curious how to go about selling my items (consignment or resale) to local flower and gift shops. Would it be best to build up my stock before approaching them, or would it be ok to just give them a taste of what I have to offer and what is available to them? Can anyone help me?
Asked by Candi H - Thu May 17 12:35:04 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Consignment selling is a start. Go to the local flower shop and ask them if you can have your item displayed 'for sale', make them a good deal and see what comes of it. A friend of mine did it with African Beads and he made some bucks that way.

Indian Taxes : MVAT/CST?
Q. Pl. explain to me in detail what is branch/consignment stock transfer in relation to VAT/CST and how does it help to reduce taxes. Please give an illustration explaining the effects (in relation to taxes) of the branch transfer to both consignor and consignee .
Asked by happy - Sun Aug 6 01:36:51 2006 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments

A. If you are a manufacturer producing goods at a Factory but have sales depot at various other locations and wish to transfer goods to that location, you may do so without payment of CST. However you may have to pay Excise Duty once the goods are removed from the factory, however that duty can be availed as credit at ur sales location. About CST, you can transfer goods against a specified challan ( I think it is Form H, pls ensure that) Once you raise an invoice mentioning Stock Transfer against the specified form, you need not shell out CST. Only at the point of sale the goods would be subject to Sales Tax.

A. Seems to me that the $300 consignment income will be earned from the middle of June (setup date) to the end of June. signing the agreement does not warrant a journal entry. What happened by the end of June? You earned $300 or consignment income, you collected $1,600 in cash (presumably all sales are cash sales) so you owe the consignor $1,300. You don't have any consignment expenses. The entry should be: Cash 1,600 cr Payable to consignor 1,300 cr consignment revenue 300 cr

How much longer with the Dixie Chicks last? one half of their sales were distributor sales with buyback?
Q. Sales from their last CD were not accurate. What we were not told was that the sells reported were consignments to Distributors - because the Dixie Chicks have a Buy back clause in their distributor contracts instead of a "return unsold" agreement. The agreement also states that they have to buyback stock not sold at a higher price than the distributor paid for the inventory to compensate for stock space. This is done with many artists.

A theory that proves that people consume/buy products just b/c they are available (i.e. candy at checkout) ?
Q. I work in pharma consignment. We sell life saving drugs by stocking them at acute care hospital facilities and only charging our customers when they use them. I have developed a hunch that our customers tend to use additional amounts of products simply because they would rather error on the side of making sure the patient is safe. For instance, instead of using 6 vials, they may use 7 vials just to be sure. In the past, before we offered this program, our cusomters would buy the expensive products and store them on their shelves. If they ever ran out (and believe me hospitals make small errors like this frequently) it may take 24 hours before they would receive more product. This may cause them to be more cautious about usage levels.… [cont.]

A. Good theory, but your example has a flaw. Your theory suggests that people consume because it's available. I actually like the theory, however you should use a different example to back it up. In example 1 where your company stocks the shelves the doctors do not have to worry about running out of a product hence their main concern is to help that patient in front of them, no matter the cost. In example 2 the doctors have to be concerned about the patient in front of them and the next one to come though because there may be a shortage due to clerical error, hence they will use the absolute minimum necessary to ensure adequate care for current and future victims. The potential for shortage is eliminated in example 1. Anyway, like the… [cont.]

If this car drives fine and doesn't have a weird feel about it, I think you should take him up on this offer. These cars are in demand and always will be. I feel that if this car has no visual damage (ie. poor bodywork, poor paint matching) you might sell the car in the high teens. You could fish around and list the car for 20 something, hoping to attract a well-off pontiac gear head that doesn't care about the previous history.
