CUSTOMER
I bought a pair of boots here a few years ago. They gradually reduce prices of some clothing items over a 60-day period, so you can watch for deals. But don't wait too long because they disappear after 60 days.
It is not the fanciest consignment store, but they had more variety of sizes/prices than other consignment stores in the city.
CONSIGNING
I'd say they are more customer friendly than friendly to people who are trying to sell/consign items there.
I've overheard staff be a bit pushy. However, 45% of sale take-home for those selling items is just okay. I know another consignment on Yonge St that offers only 40% and yet another on Yonge St that offers a whopping 60% of the sale! But those places only take extremely high end designer clothing that is new or barely worn.
Additionally, they are not very flexible with you if you want to collect your item if it does not sell. They have a strict policy of you needing to retrieve it by the end of the 60 days or it will be donated to charity. Ridiculous in my opinion. Other places at least give you a 1 week+ grace period (What if I'm sick? Sure, I'll gladly bring you my germs then!). Someone ought to remind them to not bite the hand that feeds them.
