Consignment Shops in Atlanta, Georgia

Consignment shops in Atlanta, Georgia are places where "one man's trash is another man's treasure" applies.

Do you have items of unwanted clothing that you have worn infrequently or not at all? Or maybe you are looking to buy a new wardrobe at bargain prices. In either case, consignment shops in Atlanta may be the answer.

Clothing items offered for sale to consignment shops in Atlanta must be cleaned, pressed and on hangers. Items must be new or in gently-used condition with no stains or tears. In addition, clothing items should have been manufactured within the last two to three years.

Clothing items are inspected by the owners or associates of consignment shops in Atlanta. They are then priced anywhere from 40% to 90% of their initial value and offered for sale in the consignment shop for about 60 days.

The consigner retains ownership of the clothing items for sale until they are purchased by a consignment shop customer. At that time, consignment shops in Atlanta will collect 50% of the purchase price and balance will be given to the consigner. Proceeds are either mailed monthly to the consigner or credited to their account. Any clothing items that remain unsold at the end of 60 days are either donated to charity or returned to the consigner.
