Consign for an Inexpensive Wardrobe

Submitted by: anonymous  12/14/2008 5:25 PM
 
Clothing consignment shops are plentiful and great places to pick up bargains. You can also sell your gently worn clothing. In my small town there are four of these shops. I have a favorite where I take clothes I am tired of or that don't fit anymore. The owner gives me 50% of what they sell for (you don't collect until a sale is made). When I go in, she usually has a check for me which I turn around and give back to her for a garment I need. Items need to be in season, in fashion, and in good repair. Oh, many also carry men's clothing.

In addition, there are some very nice, clean, organized thrifts. The American Cancer Society runs a chain of them called Discovery Shops. Their prices are very low and they carry everything from clothes to knick-knacks.

I agree. Just last week I went to the Goodwill store and bought a skirt for $3.75. It still had the tags on it. I brought it home and tried it on and it did not fit, so I brought it to my favorite consignment shop and they accepted it and put a price of $25.00 on it. If it sells, I will get 12.50, which I will use to buy more recycled clothes...How's that for going green!
