NY consignment stores - best deals

DamierAddict · Aug 11th, 2008, 08:19 PM

Im basically cleaning out my entire closet and i have a pile of clothes (half my height) .. lol about 50 pieces of stuff that i will never ever wear again

im looking for a consignment store where i can make the most money off of my used clothes.

ive searched the forum but im still a little confused about how it works?

can i bring in shoes too? old bags?

most of the things i will be giving away are "lower brands" .. mostly forever 21 .. h&m , things like that

i have been selling on eBay for years so i know not to give away expensive brands to get only $5 for it .. when i can sell my old jeans on ebay for $60-$100

so anyways

i googled these stores around my area and this is what i came up with:

platos
buffalo exchange

Beacon's Closet

hooti couture

anyone been to these ? reviews? which do you recommend?

i also offered my boyfriend to come with me cuz he has a lot of things to give away... do they take male clothes?

Not sure about the others, but Plato's Closet and Buffalo Exchange are not consignment stores. They are used clothing stores and will give you 1/3 of what they will sell the item for, which is almost nothing. You won't get very much money at all.
