HOW TO SHOP RESALE
EXPLORE all the resale shops in your area to find out which shops suit you best. Each shop has its own personality, so you're certain to find several favorites.
ALLOW yourself ample time to shop. Resalers carry a vast selection, much more than a "new" store could afford to stock, so you'll want time to look through all the choices to find your prizes!
SHOP OFTEN for the best selection. Resale shops change inventories daily, and the smartest shoppers know to check out their favorite shops weekly. Don't miss out on the new arrivals.
CHECK OUT all sizes, not just the sizes you usually wear. Different manufacturers cut their apparel differently, and some clothes may have been altered.
ASK ABOUT varied payment options. Cash is always welcome, but checks and credit cards are also accepted at most stores. Many stores also offer some type of layaway.
BE FLEXIBLE Don't limit yourself by looking for a specific item or you may miss a great find. When you see something that calls out to you, buy it! Chances are it won't be there next time you visit.
Also, check out this resourceful article, "The Smart Shopper," written by Pat Swartley, President of S.T.A.R.S., on shopping resale.
