There is a store that is interested in selling a couple of my CDs. Unfortunately, that store is in Denmark...and I'm in Chicago. 
Is there a consignment form or some easy way to arrange how I could send this place my CDs? Anyone have any experience in this area or could you point me in the right direction? Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Hi KevOz -
Consignment! That is so old school!
I did consignment things 8 years ago, but when I got hipped to CD Baby I stopped that altogether. I wish I had my old consignment contracts with me, but I think they are in a cardboard box in storage somewhere.
I looked around online and found a boilerplate consignment contract at Consignment-Software.com. Looks like it could work:
******************************************************
1. GENERAL: Sixty percent (60%) of the sale proceeds of each item shall be paid to ___________________." FURNITURE like cribs, chairs, changing tables, etc: Fifty percent (50%) shall be retained by ______________________________.
2. LIABILITY: ______________ assumes no liability for the loss or destruction of any item.
3. IMPERFECT consignments in need of repair or cleaning may, without notice, be donated. DONATION RECEIPTS AVAILABLE ON REQUEST ONLY.
4. A minimum of two (2) days notice must be given before pickup. OWNERS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PULLING ALL UNSOLD merchandise.
5. All unsold pieces must be retrieved within xx months from the date of consignment or the agreement must be renewed for another period. All unsold consignments not returned after the end of the contract period will, WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE, automatically become property of ____________________.
6. DURATION and RENEWABILITY: Maximum consignment length is 180 days. This Consignment Agreement is renewable once.
7. REDUCTIONS: Prices may be reduced at the discretion of __________________.
8. CONSIGNMENT PAYMENT WILL BE VOIDED 180 DAYS AFTER AGREEMENT TERMINATION.
9. CONSIGNMENT CHECKS: Checks are issued monthly after the 15th for the prior whole month.
10. RECORD KEEPING AND FOLLOW UP CALLS: It is the responsibility of the seller to maintain all records of consignments and call not less than once a month after the 15th to confirm sales, pickups, and contract termination.
11. All transactions and resolutions to disputes will take place in (location).
ALL ARTICLES MUST BE RETURNED BY TERMINATION DATE UNLESS CONSIGNMENT IS EXTENDED - NO EXCEPTIONS.
Thanks for the info, Dave! Will let you know how it pans out should I go the consignment route.
Thanks,
KevOz
