Q:

What are the benefits of selling accessories and clothing at a consignment store? Why shouldn’t I just sell the items myself?

A:

You can make some quick cash, free up closet space, and find new items to add to your own wardrobe at well below retail prices; in addition, you’ll feel good about supporting your local economy and contributing to helping the environment as well. Gone are the frustrations of having to deal directly with finding a buyer, advertising your items, fielding phone calls, inviting strangers into your home and negotiating a price. When it’s all said and done, many agree that using a consignment store is well worth it. Everybody wins!
