Post Thrift shop decorating is FUN!
Let's face it: Whether we're talking flea markets, garage sales, thrift shops or estate sales, everyone loves a bargain. Add in the current economy, and thrift shopping bargains become even more appealing. You might find a wall mirror for $10... a table for $35... an old trunk for $65. Now, take bargain shopping to the next level by incorporating the item into your home with some cheap, yet chic decorating touches.

Condition of consigned items: Clothing that is pressed displays well on the sales floor. Appliances that are clean with instruction books also present well.

Description of items on Sales Tag and Contract: The item description should provide the potential customer with as much information about the item as possible. This is especially important with computers/electronics. For example:

Clothing: Size.
Bedding: Queen, full, twin, flat or fitted.
Curtains/Drapes: Length and width (48x63)
Table linens: Size and shape (70" round)
Pricing: Consignors determine their own prices. Consignment pricing generally should not be based on the original cost of an item. Before pricing your items, it may be helpful to check the sales floor for prices of similar items. If an item doesn't sell within the first month, you may want to consider reducing the price
