It's interesting to hear your experience. Good job, on getting a little spending money from it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-end-report#post-2240134 Mon, 22 Nov 2021 22:06:43 +0000 RobinF 2240134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice to hear your consignment experience was successful! I would think 16 out of 20 is a pretty good result.</p> <p>I do think of Talbots as being a little less stylish than Ann Taylor or JJill, whether that is true or not I'm not sure. Not meaning I wouldn't consider it but the brand wouldn't draw my eye in a shop. I do love their quality. I used to get fabulous polos for my kids' uniforms back in the day. I'd buy them on sale and they lasted forever.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-end-report#post-2240125 Mon, 22 Nov 2021 21:51:49 +0000 Sal 2240125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that's a great result Peri.</p> <p>And I think that consignment means the pieces have a new happy home!!&nbsp; That's the benefit.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-end-report#post-2240118 Mon, 22 Nov 2021 20:58:24 +0000 cat2 2240118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So interesting. The consignment shops in my area don’t take work wear or work-wear brands. It sounds like yours have a more practical mix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-end-report#post-2240098 Mon, 22 Nov 2021 20:09:25 +0000 rachylou 2240098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did well! Interesting about Talbots. I can’t think if there’s even one in reach around me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-end-report#post-2240073 Mon, 22 Nov 2021 18:18:49 +0000 Angie 2240073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous!

I'm getting my spring consignment pieces ready although I won't be making any drop offs until mid February. It always makes me smile when I see someone wearing an item I consigned because I hope it brings that person as much pleasure as it did for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/consignment-end-report#post-2240066 Mon, 22 Nov 2021 18:00:29 +0000 CarolS 2240066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a win-win exercise!

My contract ended Friday, so here's the end result.&nbsp; <ul> <li>I took in 32 items and she accepted 20. The others went straight to donation.</li> <li>Out of the 20, 16 sold so I think that was great. I picked up the remaining 4 and took them straight to donation this morning.</li> <li>My total from the sales was $135.75</li> </ul> Math wise, that's pennies on the dollar, but it's still that much more than just donating. I didn't expect otherwise because these were things I got plenty of use out of so to get anything back was great. The whole experience was quite fun, just tracking what sold and getting what I considered just play money. If you go in with that attitude (and are lucky enough to have a friendly store), consigning is great!</p> <p>Something interesting...she took 5 Talbots items and only 1 sold. The 4 I picked up today were all Talbots. I asked if that was a coincidence or if it had some significance. She said people aren't really looking for Talbots anymore, but overall she said she never knew how it would turn out. I was a little surprised because all the Ann Taylor and J Jill things sold and I would have put them as no more currently stylish than Talbots, and quality wise slightly lower. I haven't shopped Talbots in many years because I just didn't like anything they were showing and eventually lost interest. Apparently I have tons of company there because those were the things no one wanted. Interesting! </p>
