| - I have a lot of purses. A LOT. Some of them were gifts from people that don't really know my style, and others were purses that had fallen out of favor, so I went over to Carried Away to consign them. The sales associate was very nice and friendly, and was very honest about me trying to sell the purses here vs. making more money selling them to a friend or online. I appreciate her honesty, and ended up consigning two of them, mainly because I didn't want the hassle of trying to sell them on my own. When they do sell, they will either give you a check for 50% of the total amount sold, or 70% store credit, which is a great deal if you're in the market for another purse.
I had two brand new purses to sell, still in the original plastic packaging: a Dooney and Burke, and a Coach, and it took about 2 months for them to sell. I wasn't sure whether to get the store credit or the check, so I browsed around a bit. A good majority of the purses here are Coach, but they did have some brands such as Furla, Michael Kors, and a greater number of fancier purses in the consignment area, such as Fendi, Escada, and a small, very worn Prada purse. The associates were friendly, but I think they've been instructed to encourage the customer to use the store credit, since one of them was nice, but a bit pushy with trying to get me to use my store credit to get a Coach purse. Also, the store credit percentage used to be 60%, but they've pushed it to 70% to entice consignees into getting a purse from the store rather than a check.
In general though, you can get some pretty good deals, especially in the consignment section, and consigning purses to the store is an easy and painless process.
