Just setting up the chart of accounts for my "auctioneer" girlfriend and would like to know the key accounts for setting up consignments. My thought is that nothing (other than a contractual listing) is done when the items are received. When items are sold, I hesitate to credit sales for the entire amount as it overstates the auctioneer's income. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
