Yes, my senses all scream scam as well. 

The professional side of me is intrigued at the sophistication and amount of preparation (weeks, even months) that go into some of these operations.    

In this case, if you Google eConsignmentShop.com you will find serveral folks posting questions to "on-line forums" asking if they are a legitimate business.  There is always a subsequent antidotal posting about how someone used their services and all was well.  I have taken the time to pursue some of these forums and they are often excepts from a real forum, but hosted elsewhere with some alteration to the sequence of posts.

I thought I would inquire here to see if anyone else has bumped into eConsignmentShop.com.
