The '''consignment store''' is a [[lot assignment]] introduced in ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]''.
__TOC__
==Gameplay==
{{Merge|Cash register|Speculative to be tied to only [[Ambitions]] till behaviour and not exclusively to lot assignment. See [[Talk:Consignment store|talk page]].}}
[[Sim]]s are able to sell things like fruit, fish, [[:Category:Inventions|inventions]], paintings, and sculptures to the shop and put them on display for other Sims to buy. Sims can build a reputation at the store, making sales more profitable. If a Sim's reputation is high, more Sims will buy his or her stuff. The store sells items every day at 5 PM / 17:00. Similar to collections, the consignment store is in a Sim's skill journal and comes with its own unique challenges to achieve. A chart of all the items sold by the Sim is given. In addition to selling, the consignment store will randomly change its inventory, which may include a variety of items such as gems, inventions, paintings, books, music boxes, cameras, incense holders and [[Mysterious Mr. Gnome|Magic Gnomes]]. Objects that can otherwise be found in [[Buy Mode]] can often be obtained at a significant discount at the consignment store should they be available. Sims may receive a positive moodlet from making a good sale as well as a negative moodlet for paying too much for an item.
The longer their items are for sale, the more they decrease in price:
*1 Day at the shop: Selling price = 200%▼
*2 Days at the shop: Selling price = 170%▼
*3 Days at the shop: Selling price = 130%▼
*4 Days at the shop: Selling price = 110%▼
*5 Days at the shop: Selling price = 100%▼
*0 Reputation = 15% Taken off▼
*200 Reputation = 10% Taken off▼
*4,000 Reputation = 5% Taken off▼
*8,000 Reputation = 0% Taken off▼

'''Landgraab Sell n' Swap''' is automatically placed in the lot bin after a player installs ''The Sims 3: Ambitions''. It is probably named after the [[Landgraab family|Landgraabs]]. In Sunset Valley, the game usually places the consignment store where the Plumpuddle Park is intended to be placed. If ''[[The Sims 3: Showtime]]'' is installed, the lot will be placed in '''[[Starlight Shores]]'''.

▲4 Days at the shop: Selling price = 110%
==Known Bugs==
▲5 Days at the shop: Selling price = 100%
There have been several bugs that have been reported concerning the consignment shop.
;Dealer will not allow you to buy or sell items
Sometimes when the player tries to use the "buy" function on the consignment shop, the shop menu will not appear. This is caused by consigned items being in the consignment shop for negative days. How this happens is unknown, but thankfully the workaround for it is simple.
Should this happen to you, simply use the cancel consignment option and unconsign any items that have been consigned to the shop. The buy function should work again.
;Consigned are not returned after 5 days
▲If the object(s) isn't sold by the end of day 5, it is returned. Selling the same object frequently will decrease the price and the shop clerk will inform you that customers are getting bored. The more reputation you have the less money the store will take of you for having to stock your items;
In theory, when an item consigned to the shop remains there for 5 days, it is sent back to the sim's home via the mail. For some players however, it does not do this, and the consigned items are left in limbo indefinitely. If this is happens to you, your sim must travel to the consignment shop and cancel the Consignments manually. You can then reconsign the items, but be warned, this may lead to the below bug.
;Reconsigned Items in Limbo
▲0 Reputation = 15% Taken off
Sometimes, reconsigning a cancelled consignment (usually in conjunction with workarounds for the two above bugs) will cause not only the items in question, but also any new consignment to act as if they had been consigned for 5+ days.
If this happens, your only recourse is to cancel the consignments on '''''everything''''', and then sell the items through the inventory, thus deleting them from the game's memory.
▲200 Reputation = 10% Taken off
==Trivia==
▲4,000 Reputation = 5% Taken off
* One of the books sold at the consignment store is titled ''Makin' Magic'', which is clearly a reference to ''[[The Sims]]'' expansion pack ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic]]''.
==External links==
▲8,000 Reputation = 0% Taken off

==Notes==
▲Sims who have the Born Salesperson trait will gain Reputation faster. Also, if your sims has the Suave Selling LTR, then they will sell their goods for more.
