tips for selling by consignment

**fizzie** · 09-04-2007, 08:43 PM

I have lots of extra baby stuff that I'd like to sell but my past experiences with consignment stores have been less than satisfactory. One place didn't sell anything--and the stuff was nice! And another place was just downright rude; I felt like a scrap collector trying to beg a few bucks. Are there some tips and tricks I should know before attempting this again?

I don't know what to tell you. I sell my things in a consignment shop near where I work. They are very friendly. I always get a good return. I drop off my things in boxes, they hang it and price it and I get half of what they get for it. Maybe you have just not found the right shop for you.
