| - Whenever I'm in the market of reselling, my first stop is always Revolve. They always seem to offer the highest in comparison to Clothes Mentor (which is my second stop, for whatever Revolve doesn't take). That being said, they'll resell my items at $20, and I'll only get $5 and some change back. It would be nice if they offered the customer at least 40% of the resale, but I guess that's how they make money. At least it's less work than trying to resell on eBay or Poshmark.
Things are often a tad overpriced, despite it being resale. You can get a J. Crew or Banana Republic sweater for $15 - $35, which is great compared to the actual store, but I've gone to the J. Crew Factory and Banana Republic outlet stores and can get new stuff for $20 - $40. I'm usually picky with what I buy, but the $23 Madewell jeans (originally $110+, or around $50 on sale) were a steal. So, it's a hit or miss. I guess it depends on who prices it.
They must have replaced the staff over the last few months. When this place first opened up a few years ago, I felt out of place going in there (I was 17 - 18 at the time, but still shopped at Loft, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, J Crew, Madewell, etc) and the older (40+) staff seemed to always raise their eyebrows at me, and I felt like I wasn't getting as much in resale as I am now. Now, the staff is younger, more friendly, and very knowledgable.
I wish I could give 4.5 stars. This place is great, but the reward system and selling price are the downside.
