I've live in America nearly 40 years and never once heard anyone refer to these places as "consignment shops".

Maybe it's regional. I'm 29 and grew up in North Carolina and heard them called "consignment shops." Or maybe just someone opened one in our town when I was young and called it that. Just anecdotal, but I'm perfectly familiar with the term. [[User:Ncsupimaster|Ncsupimaster]] ([[User talk:Ncsupimaster|talk]]) 19:50, 28 March 2012 (UTC) |

Linkspam
The link under Further Reading entitled How to Open a Consignment Shop leads to an advertisement for an ebook. Books that can be found in libraries would be useful here, but this link is blatantly in violation of the spirit of wikipedia, so I have deleted the link Keener Reed (talk) 21:42, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
Cleanup
I deleted this line: "There can be terrible consequences for presenting fake designer brands with real designer prices." There's no citation, no example of what the consequences may be, and seems to have POV issues (i.e., what makes a consequence 'terrible' is subjective). (Sorry, this is my first Wikipedia edit and I'm not sure I'm doing all this right, pls correct me if I did anything wrong.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.175.119.20 (talk) 15:54, 8 April 2009
