Consignment Agreement for Auction
About this form
The Consignment Agreement for Auction is a legal document that outlines the agreement between a consignor and an auction company regarding the sale of personal property through auction. This form is crucial as it specifies the terms of the consignment, including the rights and responsibilities of both parties, and how the sales proceeds will be managed.

FAQ
Consignment is an arrangement in which goods are left in the possession of an authorized third party to sell. Typically, the consignor receives a percentage of the revenue from the sale (sometimes a very large percentage) in the form of commission.
A consignment letter is therefore a letter of agreement that is usually sent by a consignor to a consignee and usually countersigned by the carrier of the goods.The consignor still has ownership rights over the goods and is responsible for any damages to the goods while they are on the hands of the consignee.
Specifically, the contract should include details about payment and what happens if the consignee does not fulfill their duties. The Consignment Contract should outline all of the parties expectations for their working relationship. It should be created, printed, and signed by both parties before the work begins.
A consignment agreement is a contract that places an item the consignor (or owner) owns with the consignee (or seller) for the consignee to sell. The consignee often takes a commission or fee and then the remainder of the sale price is paid to the consignor.
