Consign this Spring. It’s Time

Consign, it’s time. Spring is finally here! It’s the perfect time to clean out our closets. Not only is spring cleaning a great way to de-stress and de-clutter, it can also be a great way to make money when you consign your items. Consigning can be a scary thought for many due to letting go of high-end items and the logistics. However, Luxury Garage Sale, a leading authenticated online luxury consignment store, makes the easy and efficient.

Many of us hold onto our favorite designer gowns or bags because of the nostalgia they hold. Why do you still have year’s old prom dresses hanging in your closet?

Getting rid of a dress that cost you a fortune and was a favorite a few years back is not as easy as it sounds. However, as the seasons and times change, so should your wardrobe.

Luxury Garage Sale (LGS), a leading online authenticated luxury consignment store with boutiques across the country, makes selling these items stress-free and lucrative.

Brielle Buchberg and Lindsay Segal, the founders of LGS, tell us more about consigning and why people should do it. “In 2011 when we started LGS, people were not as vocal about shopping consignment or consigning their items. Today, people have become smarter shoppers and are proud to share when they find a deal or are able to sell an item for cash,” explained Buchberg. There are so many great reasons to consign, but Brielle and Lindsay put together their top five.

Trends and styles change. Like the seasons, fashion changes. There is no need to hang onto items that aren’t practical or that you won’t wear. If you look at it and ask yourself why you ever bought it, then consign it.

1. Your wallet will be happy. Selling clothes through consignment is a great way to earn money. And, let’s be real, we all want more money to buy new clothes. Consigning gives you the perfect opportunity to then buy new items to add to your collection.

2. One person’s trash is another person’s treasure. Just because you may not be in love with the item any longer, doesn’t mean everyone feels the same. Someone else might be dying for the purse you think was so last year.

3. It’s stress-free. Consignment shops, specifically Luxury Garage Sale, handle it all. From picking up the clothes (or providing prepaid shipping labels), to pricing the items and sending you an invoice, you don’t have to lift a finger. It couldn’t be easier so you have no excuse.

4. It’s good for the environment. This is one reason that many people don’t think about. However, you are helping reduce the carbon footprint by recycling your clothes. Not only are you partaking in a type of recycling, you are giving someone else in the community the chance to enjoy a one-of-a-kind piece at a more reasonable cost.

Go through your closet and put together a pile of items to consign. Cleaning out your closet not only gives you instant satisfaction and have a positive effect on your stress levels, it gives you the opportunity to update your wardrobe. “The concept of consigning has now become the norm, so people are consigning more regularly because they know they can buy a luxury item and reconsign later to get some of their money back” added Lindsay. So, there’s no excuse to not go clean out your closet and contact Luxury Garage Sale for a prepaid shipping label and begin consigning.
