Cashing in at Consignment Shops
 Consignment shops of all types are popping up everywhere, like Andover's Chic Consignment Closet offering deals on high-end fashion, or Salem, New Hampshire's Gently Loved Baby offering everything kids need — from toys to brand-name clothes.
If you are new to consignment shopping, you will want to check out these tips, from Abby Forstall, owner of Lexington-based Embellishments, a style and wardrobe consulting company:
- Ensure your bargain find fits you.
Find a mirror and try it on. No guessing. It's no bargain, if it doesn't fit.
- Ask the salesperson for help.
Tell them what you are looking for. They know the merchandise better than you and can spot things quickly. Ask them what's good. Become a regular so that the salesperson knows what you like and will look out for you.
- Be wary of designer handbag knockoffs.
Consignment shopping can be a great way to find designer deals, but be wary of designer handbag knockoffs. Even if it has a designer label, check the workmanship closely.
- Shop at the beginning of the season.
Like all shopping, you get the best selection at the beginning of the season — but this is particularly true for consignment shopping.
- Act fast for higher profits.
Don't forget consignment shops get their inventory from people like you. You'll do better if you bring items in at the beginning of the season.
