Hello, my name is Massimo Galbiati. I'm a buyer.
How does selling or consigning work?
Selling to a resale store usually starts with a staff member looking over each item. The store then often offers cash or store credit for the pieces it can use.
Consignment works differently. The store displays the item, and the seller gets a share of the price once it sells. A written agreement usually sets that share and what happens to unsold items. Many thrift stores take donations instead of buying items.
Call the office if you have questions about your visit or your service. This is general information, not personal instructions. The staff at your store can explain the terms for your own items.
Thanks for watching.
