When you think “second-hand” do you also think second-rate? You shouldn’t. Most contemporary consignment shops now boast a bright decor and well-organized racks of great-looking kids’ stuff. While for most customers the main draw is still the big bargain, the chances of finding a real deal hinge on the quality of the consignment store itself.
Here’s what to look for first when shopping second-hand.
Clean, pressed, popular, current, trendy, brand name items in almost new or BRAND NEW condition with the original store tags still attached which are less than 3 years old. We all have unused gifts from people who have the best of intentions but sometimes the size or season is wrong, or it just wasn't your style.
When wondering if something is worth consigning, ask yourself "Is this substantial enough for someone else to get valuable use from?" and "Would I buy this for my child?” Consignment is a visual experience. Items need to look brand new or well cared for to have value. Making items look their best results in more money in your pocket. Yes, it takes a bit of work to get things spiffed up, but much less time than having a garage sale! Plus, we sell it for 90 days...not just a weekend! What are you waiting for? |
