| - Spring Cleaning is around the corner and I've got a whole lot that I need to get rid of. My problem is I'm a hoarder. I've got way too many things that I'm optimistic about wearing but never end up getting around to (I'm talking about that sequinned tank that just never happened).
My sister mentioned her friend shops here for gently used clothes with decent brands. She also suggested I sell my clothing here as well. With that, I picked up a few things and dropped them off. The young lady gave me a walk-through on how everything works. They take a lot more casual clothing than the fancier stuff, so forget the sequins if you have them (unless it's casual chic, of course). They take brands like American Eagle, H&M, Dynamite, Aritzia, etc (check their website for more info). They want styles found in malls that are more recent (no more than 2 years old). They take clothing, shoes, jewelry, makeup, and bags. Men's items too! The nice thing about this place is that they pay you 30-40% of what they sell the item for, which is a bit more than what Kind Exchange gives you.
They asked me to wait 45 minutes to price everything. They took half my items and said they couldn't take the others for various reasons - too much inventory for those particular items, out of style/date, condition, or they wouldn't be able to sell it. They pay you out in cash which is convenient. Overall, I'm happy with the transaction because I was going to donate some of the stuff but made a bit of money instead. However, it is much less compared to what I actually paid for it, but something is better than nothing especially when you're a broke student.
With regards to shopping, the store is quite small so I understand why they don't carry a lot of things. Take a look around while waiting. I found a few shirts I was fond of and the price wasn't bad. Quality varies, but that makes sense depending on if the item is used or new.
