  • OK, full disclosure - I know the owners. Still, check out A Second Look and you'll see that they set the bar very high by consignment store standards. It's definitely not your typical second-hand store. For one thing, it's huge - as big as a department store, and the shopping experience is similar in terms of atmosphere and better in terms of selection given the range and uniqueness of the things you find there. The store only accepts "as-new" merchandise, so no worries about stains, holes or weird smells. The clothes are sorted not only by style and size but by color, which makes for a more efficient search for random treasures (I'm an attention-deficit shopper, especially when digging through racks of random clothes - so I like being able to save time by looking mainly in the colors that look best on me). You really never know what you're going to find, and their inventory turnover is high, which makes coming back regularly not only fun but practically mandatory. The discounting system is pretty innovative - almost all of the clothing has a dated price tag, and after 30 days on the rack, an item automatically goes 25% off; after 45 days, 50% off; after 60 days, 75% off, and after that it's taken out of inventory and donated to a charity that supports needy women and children. The housewares section is awesome, too - perfect place to find a bargain on the ice cream maker you keep thinking you want, or to change up the decor of your place for a fraction of retail. They have a big kids' section, and their holiday decoration stuff is definitely worth checking out once Christmas rolls around. Also, there's a coffee bar area tucked away in the back on the other side of the consignor drop-off area. It's a nice place to take a break from shopping, or to give bored companions a spot to hang out. Great coffee, too. Consigning the good stuff you just don't want any more is much better than just hauling it all to Goodwill - at least you stand the chance of making back a little money; worst case, if they don't sell, they'll end up going to charity anyway. Update 6/5/09 - No more kids' section here, nor hot coffee at the coffee bar, although cold drinks and snacks are still available. Still plenty of great bargains to be had!
