How To Be Stylish For Pennies
What Is Consignment Shopping? You know those khakis that your son wore once and then outgrew? Or that dress hanging in your closet that you just don’t love? Consignment stores will buy them from you to sell to their customers at a deep discount. They’ll typically price your item at one-third of the retail value; once it sells, they’ll pay you 35 to 50 percent of that price (or a little more in store credit). So, if you bring in a $90 dress, they’ll tag it at $30, and you’ll take home around $15 after someone buys it. Resale or buy-sell-trade stores will give you cash or store credit upfront and will often take lower-priced clothing—but as with consignment, clothing must be in pristine condition. If your item doesn’t sell in 90 days, you can pick it up, or some stores will donate it to charity.
