The Stock Exchange

Ok place for resale shopping. They are extremely choosy about what they accept from consignors. I have taken brand name items into consign, but they have been rejected. My things were better than some of the things they had on the racks. Worth a stop every six months or so. Especially the sale rack. But most of their things are a little overpriced.

I’ve found some very nice designer pieces for my wardrobe at good prices here. I lost a significant amount of weight (I’m down three dress sizes) and consigned a lot of clothes. I made about $ 300. When you lose a lot of weight, restocking your closet is expensive as heck. Shopping here takes some of the sting out and of it.

The people who work here are very nice and attentive to your needs. My problem with the place is for a consignment shop it’s way over priced. It has a lot of nice stuff just too expensive

The Stock Exchange is always full of amazing pieces of clothing, shoes, purses, and accessories. The sizes range from extra small through plus size. I’ve also noticed a selection of petite items! Compared to other consignment stores, this is one of the best I’ve seen! Prices here go by the industry standard of ¹⁄₃ retail value for used items and ½ retail value for new items. The brands and designers range from target to Hermes (all authenticated). They have special sections for St. John Couture, new designer items, Free People, Anthropology, Chicos, and boho chic brands. The staff does a great job of taking in pieces in excellent condition and they are super helpful. Seriously, if you need help finding an outfit for an event or matching a blouse with pants, they will help you! It’s like having a personal shopper but without the cost! The best part is, twice a year EVERYTHING GOES HALF PRICE. That’s right, everything goes half price when they transition seasons. I can’t say more positive things about this place. I feel super welcome every time I come, I find amazing things, and I get amazing deals. I haven’t paid retail value for anything since I’ve found this place! I have seen the light!

I moved here from San Francisco, where I was used to shopping at places like Buffalo Exchange and Crossroads Trading Company. I also would hit the thrift shops in the Mission District pretty regularly. Doing this, I was able to score fun, interesting clothes at very low prices. The prices here are not quite so low. It’s kind of like going to Nordstrom Rack — you can find some cute, designer pieces, but the prices can go quite high. I bought a t shirt, sweater and a pair of NYDJ ponte pants for a total of $ 100. When I got home I realized the pants had holes in the seam. (I usually check the seams when I’m shopping consignment, but didn’t because I was in a rush this time.) So, I’d say my experience at the store was okay, but I’m going to try some other thrift stores in the area, because I don’t care as much about brands as I do about just finding fun, quirky clothes.

Awesome shop! I found so many pieces here, even some brand new with tags! Everything I saw was in new condition and a really good price.
The associates who were working were incredibly friendly and helpful and made the whole experience really fun.
From talking to the manager, the turnover is very quick too. They go through hundreds of pieces a day and only keep about 20%, so I guess it shows how picky they are by the quality of what they keep.
I will definitely be a regular now that I have discovered them!

I love this place. I always find something when I stop by there. Yesterday I bought two work shirts. I’ve bought several pair of designer jeans. The selection is well curated and there is something for everyone.

After my recent in-​and-​out experience at Plato’s, and still high on my marked-​down designer duds from the annual Uniquities attic sale, I popped over to the Stock Exchange to test my luck further. I have fond memories of this store in its former location on Franklin Street, where I was a frequent shopper, and a consignor as well. This was my first visit since they moved years ago; but I still had high expectations based on my previous experiences, and glowing reviews of course.
I have this to say: Where the hell were the Louboutins hiding?!? I can only assume Elizabeth F has cleaned them out once again… =) They were hosting a year-​end 20% off sale on boots and coats. But nothing caught my eye. I dug deeper into the racks to see what steals I could uncover, but in place of beauties I used to find there (Theory, Nanette Lepore), drab things from J Jill, Jones New York, and LL Bean stared back. I know just yesterday I was griping about how the clothes at Plato skewed too young for me; and now here I am complaining about looks being too old. But — approaching my 30s, I guess I really am somewhere in the middle… still striving for hip and fashion-​forward, just with some sophistication. And I didn’t find it here; at least not today.

If you want higher quality clothes at a lower price, you should check this place out. Their clothes are in good shape – some even with tags still attached. Sign up for e-​mails to get notification of their end of season 50% off sale, which applies to everything in the store. You really can’t beat those prices!

What a great little find! At the end of each season, this place has a Half-​Price clearance sale where I was lucky enough to pick up a barely worn pair of Christian Louboutin wedge shoes for $ 55!
This shop has a full range of styles, labels and sizes. I look forward to coming back to see what else turns up here.

I absolutely loved The Stock Exchange! I was so impressed by their great selection! I was able to find awesome work clothes here, dresses, pants, tops, that were normally way more than I want to spend for work, but here they were priced just right! I was really impressed with how hard they work to keep it stocked well and to help everyone find something. The staff is hilarious and always ready to help you find just what you need, be it for work or that exciting date you have with «Ohhhh hunny, he sounds perfect, catch him UP!» that guy… hahaha :) They have purses, shoes, jewelry and you can literally create multiple entire outfits from the things they have in there. Obviously sometimes, as with any place like this, you’re just not going to luck out. But even then, I find myself excited for the next time I come in and get to scope out exciting new pieces to add to my closet! :)

Love this place. For me, it’d hit or miss, as it is with most consignment shops. I love the fact that they have all different sizes, and large size shoes (I am usually a 9.5−10). Their semi-​annual clearance sales are AMAZING, as are the rewards bucks you get for shopping there. I go about once a week to check out the selections. Highly recommend. Staff is SUPER helpful :-)

Great finds here (often). It’s a consignment shop… sometimes I walk in, and walk out, sometimes I find THE PERFECT THING!!! The balance is still in the positive for that.
The staff is extra helpful and friendly. They’ll double as the girlfriend you didn’t bring if you need them to. The prices are a across the board. Mostly under $ 100 for anything that isn’t unworn and/​or by a high end designer.
Again, those of you expecting perfection every time you go to a consignment shop are placing your hopes a little high. It’s not like there’s any store in this area that does that will full price items.
Also, if you’re lucky enough to walk in on their end of season 50% off (plus) sales, you’re in for a real treat!

I have visited the Stock Exchange on a few occasions and always leave empty handed. I have high hopes for the store, but I’ve been underwhelmed on every visit. I find that the clothes tend to look worn/​faded and the overall selection of apparel is just not that great. They do appear to have a decent designer jeans selection (decent brands, but little variety in sizes) and I have spotted a few great designer hand bags. I’ll probably stop by every so often when I’m in the area because its super close, but I won’t go out of my way.

Disclaimer — I’m from California, Southern California to be exact, so I’m used to random designer super fashion finds consignment stores with trendy, picky goth fashionista buyers like Buffalo Exchange. I wanted to like the Stock Exchange but I was underwhelmed at best. Maybe it was just the day I went, but I felt the prices were a little high ($ 14 for a used C&C tank), the selections a little dated (for the price), and the higher end duds (Anthro, J. Crew, Theory… those guys you know) few and far in between.
I’m disappointed (in myself a little too) because I REALLY wanted to LOVE the Stock Exchange based on all the positive Unilocal reviews. Was I in the same store lol?

Great deals to be found! Friendly staff too. They have a discount frequent buyer card and an email list to let you know about sales (which are awesome!). I recently purchased beautiful black pants from Banana Republic here for seven bucks (on clearance).

My modest salary doesn’t exactly support my expensive taste, so I was thrilled to discover the Stock Exchange a few months ago. They have a really good selection of gently (sometimes never) used upscale clothing, which turns over often and is priced very fairly. It’s a great place to find expensive jeans that are already worn in for you, and even though I wear a pretty common size I never have trouble finding items that fit. I also love to browse the accessories — I’ve found some really unique costume jewelry recently. I generally find it hard to part with my clothes so I don’t often consign them, but the staff was so welcoming that I certainly wouldn’t be scared to bring a few things in one day.

I’m a curvy gal, and a late bloomer. I grew over an inch for no apparent reason at the age of 19, and my bra size changed dramatically between 1998 and 2003. As you can imagine, I know a bit about the consignment stores in this area, ’cause at least I make a little money off my growing butt. In my opinion, The Stock Exchange has the best inventory for younger, trendier thrift shoppers. In a recent trip, I saw Lily Pulitzer dresses, designer jeans, and a Louis Vuitton bag. There’s a variety of brands for sale, though — the stuff I consign here is from Banana, J. Crew, Ann Taylor — my nicer department store brands in addition to the pricey stuff I have to admit I can’t wear any more (Michael Stars, Juicy jeans). From the perspective of a seller, I find that they tend to accept more of my stuff than some of the other places around here — I take that to mean I’m a good reflection of their target demographic, not that they’re not particular about their inventory. Plus, they have friendly employees who don’t act like you’re trying to sneak a stained skirt past them.
*** Update (2÷18÷2009)
So here’s me, still not getting any slimmer, and still populating the Stock Exchange with my awesome, barely-​used clothes. I wanted to update this review because my impressions of this place have only improved since my initial consignment trips. They’ve recently started using an online service that keeps track of the items you bring in and how much they sold for, so that you can check to see which items have sold and how much money you’ll be receiving in your monthly checks. This is very convenient, and something I haven’t encountered with other consignment stores. Inventory remains of good quality, although if some of my fellow size 12 hotties could bring in a few more pairs of your gently-​used expensive-​brand jeans, that wouldn’t hurt either. Best of all, staff is still friendly, helpful and great.

This store is the ultimate in getting designer clothing at discount. Most of the items are barely used or have never been worn. I’ve found a great pair of Diesel jeans in there at an awesome price, along with shoes and boots. If you like accessories, as much as I do, then you’ll find some classy antique pieces, as well as, jewels of the day. They have beautiful dresses and gowns, lovely business suites & casual wear.
