Consignment Shops in Montana for Makers & Artists

These 8 shops say they take work on consignment: you supply the stock and get paid when it sells. All are in Montana; see all 424 nationwide.

Quick tips

On consignment you lend the shop your stock and get paid only when it sells, minus the shop's cut. Splits vary a lot, and some shops also charge a monthly or up-front fee, which can matter more than the split.
