How to Consign
One of the top questions we are asked is “How do I consign my clothes?” Please read this page to get a better understanding on why consignment is “Better Than Thrift”
Better Than Before will price your garments based on current market prices and past selling history of similar items. It is our desire to make our consignors a maximum return on their items while still providing the customer with a significant bargain. Each item is evaluated independently. Factors such as brand, style, age, condition, demand, and showroom space will play a role in pricing. We certainly appreciate consignors’ input with particularly expensive or unique items.
While purchasing outright is occasionally negotiable, we are extremely selective on these items. It has been our experience that clients see much higher profit long term through consignment rather than buy-out programs.
