| Working on a major closet clean out. What are some good places in the DC area to consign? Want the process to be as easy as possible. Bonus points for a place that sells men clothes too. Thank you! |

| I always had good luck consigning at the 14th St Current Boutique (but not the Clarendon or Old Town locations). Reddz in Bethesda was decent too - they’re pretty picky but I’d say still took 1/3 of the items I’d bring in. You can choose cash or a gift card to get paid right away vs Current Boutique is traditional consignment where you only get $ if it sells (and you can’t “take it back” if it doesn’t) |

Are these designer pieces or mid range brands? |

| Oh wow, I can’t believe they don’t let you take it back if it doesn’t sell! I have a mix of mid-range and designer. |

A lot can depend on who is on duty when you bring in the clothes - I've had one person reject items and the person working the counter two days later takes them. Some really adhere to "designer" only, even if they have mid-range on the racks. I've had the most consistent success with Reddz in Bethesda. |

Poshmark has a new service --- it's call Sell it For me. They send you a bag, you put the clothes in it, and they pick it up. When something sells, they send you the money. Much easier that having your clothes sitting around until someone buys it...

I don't know any consignment shops that allow this? Secondi donates it if it doesn't sell. |

| I have had great success consigning with Secondi on Connecticut Ave. |

| What are the consignment fees like at Secondi or the Poshmark Sell it for me service? Similar to Poshmark, has anyone tried the Real Real? |

It seems this service is available only in the San Francisco area. |

Poster who consigns with Secondi. It's 50%. I looked into The Real Real but the rates are horrific. Your payout is based on how much you sell, which is absurd. |

| Can anyone speak to comparisons between in person consignment vs. going through the RealReal? |

Most in-person consignment you will net 40-60% of the profit depending on the store. The Real Real, as someone mentioned above, is based on how much you sell. If you sell more, you get a higher percentage. |

| Are any other stores similar to Reddz and will buy items from you as opposed to traditional consignment? |

| New to You in McLean is great if you have high end items. 50/50 split if it sells. If it doesn’t sell, you can pick it up. |
