Please feel free to call or stop in to check with an employee to see if you have items you would like to pick up or need your items held beyond the pickup window. Consignors’ who fail to pick up their items without notice are subject to a $10 account deduction.

Helpful Tips For Bringing in Consignment

  • Allow yourself 30 minutes to drop off as you are required to stay in the store while we go through your items.

  • We prefer items be brought in a bin/bag/basket, rather than on hangers

  • We have a 40 item maximum for appointments. This includes your jewelry and accessories!

  • You are only allowed 1 drop per month

  • Please launder all items before bringing in and check to make sure there are no stains, rips, missing buttons, etc.

  • Please try stick to our seasonal inventory schedule:

    • JANUARY: Winter Taking, NO Fur

    • FEBRUARY: Winter-Spring Transition, NO Fur, NO heavy down coats

    • MARCH & APRIL: Spring Taking, NO Shorts, Up to the discretion of the employees based on current weather & needs

    • MAY & JUNE: Summer Taking

    • JULY: Best of Summer, (items taken this month will be on the floor through October, so we look for Summer items that will sell full price in July or August)

    • AUGUST: Fall TRANSITIONAL, Up to the discretion of the employees based on current weather & needs, NO Shorts/Sandals 

    • SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER: Fall Taking

    • NOVEMBER & DECEMBER: Winter Taking, ONLY months we accept authentic fur

**DISCLAIMER: This schedule is a guideline. We do our best to predict what weather we will have; however, as well all know, Buffalo weather can be unpredictable. The best way to judge what items you should be bringing in is to ask yourself if it something you would wear in the month that you bring it in to consign. If it doesn’t fall into those perimeters, it is best to wait until it does so that it sells at full price.
