She also gave some great tips, so here is her list of tips on how to get the best out of consignment sales.
Tips for shoppers
• The best time to shop is at the presales you’re invited to join if you are a consignor or a volunteer. The next-best options are shopping early on opening day, when the selection is best, or on the half-price day at the end of the sales.
• Know what you are looking for, along with sizes and approximate retail prices. Some of these sales are huge and can be overwhelming, so it really helps if you know exactly what you need.
• Inspect everything to be sure there are no flaws and that you really want whatever it is. Most sales do not accept returns.
• Be prepared to stand in line. Although most of the sales are more efficient with checkout these days, many still have long checkout lines early in their sales.
• Compare prices. Not only should you have a way to check internet prices with your phone or iPad as you shop, but it is wise to compare the prices of identical items in the sale. Because consignors price their own items, prices can vary significantly.
• Bring a laundry basket or mesh shopping bag to carry your items as you shop.
• Some sales do not accept checks, others don’t take credit cards, and some charge an extra dollar for credit card purchases. Good to know ahead.
