I was leary about consignment shops until I found one through a gf and sold 1800 dollars in clothing and purses to them. I just paid off a cc with it and put money in my emergancy fund.

So if you dont wear it, dont like it, doesnt fit, or you have more then one of the same get rid of it.

ive been taking the girls clothes to once apon a child recently. each time i've got over 40.00 and they havent really taken much from me. they tell me each time to bring back what they didnt buy this time in a couple weeks to see if they have room/in need for those items then.

$1800 is amazing! I've never had very good success with second hand store in our area. I'm lucky if I sell $20 in 2-3 months.

Wow, that's great.

The only cosignment/second hand place I know about around here is Plato's closet, and it's more teenager driven stuff from like Abercrombie and American Eagle, and they only take things are less than 18 months old.

Dang..what a great idea!
I had not thought of that one..

We have some here too..
I am going to give that a shot after the school year is up!

thanks!

My Coupons are my American Express Card - Don't leave home without them!

I do very, very well at Children's consignment sales. You make about double what Once Upon a Child gives you.

Just Between Friends is a national chain of them that I've sold at several times. They have fall/winter sales & spring/summer sales and I make several hundred dollars each time!
