Consignment Shops in Indiana for Makers & Artists

These 6 shops say they take work on consignment: you supply the stock and get paid when it sells. All are in Indiana; see all 424 nationwide or the Indianapolis page.

Quick tips

On consignment you lend the shop your stock and get paid only when it sells, minus the shop's cut. Splits vary a lot, and some shops also charge a monthly or up-front fee, which can matter more than the split.

Compare what you'd earn on consignment vs. wholesale with the wholesale price calculator. Its presets include the published splits and fees.
A monthly fee is owed whether or not anything sells. Divide it by the units you realistically expect to sell each month before you compare splits.
Get the agreement in writing: split, fees, payout schedule, how long stock stays, and who covers loss or damage.
