Consignment Stores

Others will allow you to consign, where they display your items for a certain amount of time and give you a percentage of the sale price if you sell the item.
Name brand clothing and shoes in good condition sell much better. The clothing should be relatively recent and be in season. Designer handbags also will be a quick seller if they’re in good condition and are less than a few years old.
