[WSBARP] Consignment Shop Sales Reporting

[Nicholas Fisher]

Paul:
This may be a little off, not knowing what your client has as far as a
contract, but if my memory serves me, this is a Uniform Commercial Code
issue and RCW 62A.9A-210, under secured transactions allows for an
accounting.  Your client may not have gone through all of the hoops, but
you may be able to squeeze them into UCC-9.
