consign

Consign means to give someone goods or property that they will sell for you, often on commission. You might consign your old car to a used car dealer who will find a buyer and give you some of the money.

The word "consign" has been around for a long time, but it's still commonly used in certain situations. If you're an artist or a craftsman, you might consign your work to a gallery that will sell it on your behalf. This means they'll take care of showing off your art and finding buyers, and then you'll get some of the money when it sells. In other cases, people might consign their old belongings to an antique shop or auction house in the hopes of getting some cash for them. It's like having a partner help you sell things – but instead of working together on a project, they're helping you sell your stuff and split the profits.
