| - Now that I've sold a bunch of clothes, I feel this review should be updated, because it may help anybody out there looking to sell.
1. If you're in a hurry, don't go on a weekend. I went at about 1:30 and there were 4 people ahead of me waiting to sell, so to sell about 20 items of clothing, it took 45 minutes including wait time.
2. You'll get 50% off the selling price in store credit, or 30% in cash. They don't pay out cash over $100, it will be a check. Or, you can split the difference. I got just under $100 in cash, and the 50% ratio of the rest as store credit.
3. Items that aren't in season, have a rip, stain or tear, or missing button won't be taken. I had a blazer, new with tags, missing a button, and was told to bring it back if the button gets sewed back on. Oh, and I had some J.Crew button ups that were brand new, but were marked on the tag from 2007 or 2008, and they were turned down.
Ultimately, you're not going to get much for your clothes, but it's pretty convenient. Example: I sold a Vince sweater that retailed for $195 back in the day. The store plans on selling it for $38.50. Store credit means I'd get $19.25, or $11.50ish.
For me, I knew after listing fees, PayPal fees, and the time it takes to list, eBay wouldn't have netted more than 10 or 15 bucks on the sweater, so it was worth the saved hassle and instant gratification.
PS: The buyers are really, really nice. Despite my buyer's knowledge of smaller labels, she asked me what Nanette Lepore is! Bless her heart.
