Do you have a consignment store nearby?

Today I first hear about a consignment store which means that you deposit things like clothing you don't want in that store and wait till they sell it for you. The store owner will earn 50%. But if you items are laid off for three months, the stuff will probably be send away. That's interesting. I don't have the access to such stores but I wish I had because I have so many new clothes never worn to spare.

We have several stores like this in our area and I love them both to sell the things that we no longer use as well as to buy new things for my children. The way that most of them work here is that they will buy the items that they are interested in from you on the spot and then they will mark them up so that they get their profit. I think this works out very well because you don't have to wait for the items to sell to get your money and in addition to that, several of the local shops also offer 25% more if you take store credit instead of cash so it works out very well if you are wanting to get more clothes or whatever.

wow ! lucky you ! I think people in my city, a big capital city, have almost never heard of that. I just read it from the internet. and I know it's part of American culture.

I do no have a consignment store nearby. That is good to know that there are consignment stores in your place. If that happens here, then many people will be saved from their basic necessity expenditures because they can alot for the meantime some of their budget to other needs they must have at the present. Advance happy new year~!@#$
