I am not a consignor here at this establishment, but boy do I love to poke around the racks here. Everything is very well organized, the items are not cramped on the racks and shelves and I think things are very fairly priced. I especially like to take advantage of the stuff that his been hanging out for more than a month and gets marked down to half price. My advice would be if you see something and really have to have it, don’t wait for it to get marked down, because I have done this with 2 items and showed up the day they were supposed to get marked down and they were gone. Like other consignment shops it’s hit or miss. Sometimes I find 10 things I love and others I come out empty handed.

I’ve heard that the original owner’s of Consignment Originals sold this business. I’ve also heard that a new management team is in place. So, I gave it a shot and I really like how the store is organized and the staff is much more helpful and happy to see you! This makes me so happy because I really liked this place! I love the look!

I’ve been consigning here for about 2 years now. I usually go once a season to drop off items to sell and browse the racks while they look over my items. I have gotten some nice items here including good quality children’s clothes, designer jeans, costume jewelry and handbags. Prices may be a bit higher than you expect but they are very picky about the quality. If you think the price is too high, wait and come back in a few weeks, as items get reduced after about a month and may even move to clearance. I’ve gotten some steals on the clearance racks. My primary business with them is as a consignor though, so I can’t complain much about the prices as it benefits me ;) Lately I have been trying to raise extra cash for a trip so have really dug through the house for pack-away clothes and household items not being used and have made some nice money clearing out items I wasn’t using anyway. Consignor tip: When you bring in clothes, make sure you go over them under a bright light — this will help you catch small stains or discoloration that will cause them to refuse the item and save you the trouble of bringing it in. It’s taken some practice but I’ve got a good feel now for what they will accept.

Good deals, if you are willing to sift through all the old lady clothes. Use the Unilocal check in for a discount!

In the old location I always left with bag fulls of stuff. In the new place I often leave empty handed. Way overpriced for the things I am looking for. The layout is more convenient but not worth the trip anymore.

I am a happy customer and consignor at Consignment Originals. The store is always full of merchandise and I almost always find one, or several, items I simply must own. They stock both consigned merchandise and new-with-tags overstocked merchandise from retailers. There is usually a good amount of «upscale» clothing and some designer wear but they also have their share of clothing from Kohl’s, The Gap, and other moderate stores. Being a consignment store, you never know whether you’ll find trash or treasure. I will say that while it’s possible to find bargains, the staff knows the value of the consigned items and the prices are higher than you would find at a thrift store. They are very particular about what they accept for consignment and, depending who is processing your items, they may or may not take items that seem clearly wearable and of a current(or timeless) style. I have brought in items that were refused, only to bring them in another time and have them accepted. Besides clothing, they have a selection of housewares, furniture, books and DVDs/Cds/Videos, accessories, children’s items, and jewelry. It’s always worth an hour or two to roam the store; you never know what you’ll find.
