Consignment Shop Pricing Dispute
Summary
In England, if a consignment shop sells your items at a lower price without explicit consent, it may breach the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and Consumer Rights Act 2015. Silence is generally not considered acceptance. You can seek compensation for financial loss and damages. Consider drafting a formal complaint, gathering all communications, and consulting a solicitor specializing in consumer rights. If unresolved, options include contacting Trading Standards, pursuing Alternative Dispute Resolution, or filing a claim in Small Claims Court.Full Conversation

Hi Angelica! Could you please provide more details about your legal issue? This will help me assist you better.
I’m having issues with a consignment shop. They sold my shoes at a much lower price than I expected, without even asking me. They’re arguing that my silence on their price means I automatically agreed to it.
Angelica, you might have a case here. In England, the Sale of Goods Act * and the Consumer Rights Act * could be relevant.
- Implied Terms: If the shop failed to notify you of the price and you did not explicitly agree to it, there might be a breach of implied terms.
- Unfair Trading: The shop's actions could be deemed as unfair trading if they misled you or omitted crucial information.
Did you sign any agreement or terms and conditions with the shop?
- Implied Terms: If the shop failed to notify you of the price and you did not explicitly agree to it, there might be a breach of implied terms.
- Unfair Trading: The shop's actions could be deemed as unfair trading if they misled you or omitted crucial information.
Did you sign any agreement or terms and conditions with the shop?
I didnt not sign anything no paper. Please see what they have said,Following your non acceptance you negotiated with Daniel regarding the price, after which he explained the commission structure and deductions.
You were sent a * hour warning for acceptance in January, and then inquired about the shoes next in March. After being informed they are online you responded with a thank you.
We sold the shoes in accordance with our terms and contract as outlined.
It sounds like you might have a strong case here, especially if you didn't sign anything. Here are some points to consider:
- Implied Terms: If you didn't explicitly agree to the price, the shop might be in breach of the Sale of Goods Act * and Consumer Rights Act *.
- Misleading Actions: Their actions might be considered unfair trading.
Have you kept any written communication or emails regarding this matter?

Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Unauthorized Sale of My Shoes
I am writing to formally complain about the sale of my shoes at a significantly lower price than agreed upon, without my explicit consent.
On [Date], I consigned a pair of shoes with your shop. I clearly communicated my asking price of £[Your Asking Price] and stated that I was not open to offers lower than this amount. Despite this, the shoes were sold at £[Sale Price] without my agreement.

Your actions constitute a breach of implied terms under the Sale of Goods Act * and the Consumer Rights Act *, as I did not explicitly agree to the lower price. Additionally, your conduct may be considered unfair trading.
I request the following resolutions:
- Compensation for the financial loss: The difference between my asking price (£[Your Asking Price]) and the sale price (£[Sale Price]).
- Reimbursement for any additional inconvenience caused.
Please respond within 14 days with your proposed resolution. If I do not receive a satisfactory response, I will seek further legal advice and consider pursuing a formal claim.

Angelica, based on your acceptance email on January 5th, the situation becomes more complex. Here are some considerations:
- Your email on January 5th suggests you might have accepted their terms, which could weaken your case.
- However, if you can argue that your acceptance was conditional or that you were pressured into agreeing, you might still have grounds.
Would you like more information on how to proceed given this new information?

Hello Angelica,
To answer your question, please keep in mind that once the quotation is confirmed. CSD will apply *% on top of the approved price as the selling price because discounts will be offered after the first months of consignment.
In the first month, no discounts are applied, however, we do have discount codes a customer might use on the purchase.

I am writing to formally complain about the sale of my shoes at a significantly lower price than agreed upon, without my explicit consent.
On [Date], I consigned a pair of shoes with your shop. I clearly communicated my asking price of £* and stated that I was not open to offers lower than this amount. Despite this, the shoes were sold at £[Sale Price] without my agreement.
Your email dated [4th January *] mentions a *-hour warning for acceptance, to which I did not respond. My silence should not be construed as acceptance of a lower price. Furthermore, my inquiry in March and subsequent "thank you" response was regarding the listing, not an acceptance of the price. Additionally, your email on January 8th detailed terms that were not agreed upon by me.
Your actions constitute a breach of implied terms under the Sale of Goods Act * and the Consumer Rights Act *, as I did not explicitly agree
