Questionable and dishonest business practices. Consigners beware. Consignors make sure that all agreements are written on the receipt as to what the split is.

I personally think way to high, but .... Would def stop in again though, an...

I get it's my fault for not checking the receipt, with no copy given to me, but I was also in a hurry to get my kids from school. I won't be going back. They did have some nice stuff. I would give it a shot as I think maybe your experience could be...
