There aren’t a lot of shops that will do this, but we have a found a few. Depending on where you live, I would contact Gift Shops, Museums (with Gift Shops), Trading Posts, Galleries, etc. Good luck!

Initially I supplied the case and displays and was renting space and it morphed into consignment at a 60/40 split.
My second shop was also through a personal contact same split. In both instances I go in and manage and service the industry. I started with places that I patronized as a buyer.
Another scenario that works is I give them the pricing I need for the items and they are free to mark it up however they wish.
So far payment has not been an issue, I think a lot of that has to do with personal relationships.
