As a side note, but linked to minimalist wardrobe as I´m getting rid of stuff....Selling!!
Been unsuccessful at selling online, a very complicated process since my items seem to attract very young undecided women
There is this concept here, which I signed up to use in a month : I rent a shelf space in a consignment shop (in a good shopping area of our city) for 3 weeks, and decide the prices myself. The shop rents the shelf for $ + will take 20% on each item.
Personally as a shopper, I go right to the shelves who have my size, my style, and offer good brands (I don´t bother with buying fast fashion second hand)....the problem is I have a price in mind I´m willing to pay and most of the sellers price way too high.
What do you think?
The items are clean, good condition and current. I´m willing to sell/pay for 30% of original price. And they tend to sell for 50-70% of original price. (I´ll pay 50% for a desirable brand though). Luxury is another category.
I stopped by yesterday and collected the price tags that I need to place on at home, so when I arrive in the shop I only hang the clothes and quickly steam some of them. Up to 50 items. Which I don´t even have so I´ll take on some of my friends clothes to sell. Each price tag has a barcode, so when I log on the app I can follow what sells, and be ready to fill up more come saturday.
Cool concept , right ??
They do have a special cabinet for luxury items they keep by the cashier

but it has some benefits this way: I don't have to bother with selling, the profits will benefit a good cause and somebody might be happy with what they find. But with very expensive items I might trying to sell them first, too.
