During
the appointment, we will have a quick but thorough look
at the items you brought in, and we will accept the
things that we feel will have the best chance of selling
for you. Your items will not sell if they have any stains,
rips, snags, broken zippers, discolored armpits, hems
down or excessive wear – our buying customers
will not consider purchasing items in this condition
and we do not sell “as is” items. Have a
good look at each item in bright lighting before you
bring them in. Presentation of clothing items is critical,
and all items sell best when they are clean and well
cared for. We give each clothing item a quick steaming
to refresh and sanitize them and to remove any wrinkles
from transporting them to Grand Central. However, if
the items are excessively wrinkled we may have to charge
a steaming fee for each item, or they will not be accepted
for consignment and returned to you.
Shoes
must be in good condition with no scuffmarks, worn heels,
very worn soles, broken straps, etc. and a fairly current
style. We accept shoes of all sizes.
Purses
must be in good condition with no marks or scuffs worn
handles, etc, and please check the inside and lining
of the purse for any stains, wear, or any forgotten
personal items.
We accept costume jewelry, but have a maximum of 20
pieces of jewelry at one appointment – it takes
as long to price and itemize a piece of jewelry as it
does a three piece suit. We accept necklaces, bracelets,
earrings (both pierced and clip), watches, and rings,
and some brooches. Please check the items to make sure
there are no missing stones/ crystals, that pierced
earrings have their backings, that clasps on necklaces
and bracelets are working and that watches are running.
(Customers will not purchase watches that are not working).
We will replace watch batteries for a $2.00 fee. We
do sell all jewelry as costume, so please ensure that
your items are not real gems/ gold.
Please do not be offended if we don't accept all the
items you bring in–we must accept those items
that we feel will have the best chance of selling for
you, and hope you will trust our experience in this
matter.
