Anyone ever bring clothes to Beacons Closet to sell? I've read a few different experiences, most not so good. Is it better to sell or consign? Any other places worthwhile?

    My daughter has brought things there. They are very selective and reject most items. Her negative on the place were not that they were selective, but if they don't take the item, they tell you that you can leave your stuff for donation to charity, More than once she saw her items left for donation for sale on her next visit. Once is an accident, more than once is a policy of misrepresentation. Also if you get the store credit, you can't use it on everything in the store.

    She no longer bothers, just donates her things directly to charity.

    Hi, I am also interested in learning about stores in the area which sell by consignment or purchase right out. Also, jewelry. Thanks. Manhattan OK too!

    Thanks reader. That really stinks about them selling your daughters clothes she left for "charity".

    I do Ebay. Still learning the ropes, but if you wanna get your stuff out in a jiffy, I say go for it.

    Super addictive though so watch out.
