Listapalooza Part Two: Consignment Stores in the TC

Tip Of The Day: And yet another list. JUST FOR YOU. Consignment shops in the TC.

Tip For Tomorrow: All the cool cheap shops that didn’t fit on my first two lists. Stores like Ragstock and Tatters. Why? BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT YOU, DAMMIT. And I want you to be able to shop freely and cheaply and stuff like that.

Further Elucidation Of My Cheap Deal: Okay, not to whine and moan at you people, but dang! Making lists is HARD. I thought this would be a nice and easy blogging week, but I was sorely mistaken. Silly me, I should have done something like ‘a week of beauty product reviews.’ That would have been a piece of cake next to concocting lists. List-making requires Internet research and phone calls and WORK. Clearly, that is NOT what I signed up for when I started this here blog…

Alright, that’s it, I’m done whining now. No, really, I am. I promise, no more bitching about how hard this project was, is, and will be. On to the list!

Today’s list is consignment stores. And like yesterday, I am in NO WAY promising you that I’ve included every single consignment store that exists in the TC.

What I am promising you is this: stores that are open for business, which bill themselves as consignment, and exist somewhere in the metropolitan area. Quick refresher: consignment stores are where you bring your stuff to be sold. They sell it, you make money on the sale (not a ton, but it’s more than you started with, right?), you buy more stuff, and everybody is happy. It’s the circle of life, retail-style.

Once again, if you can think of a consignment store that I’ve missed, please let us know. You can write about it in the comments section. All I ask is that you refrain from mocking me for my omission. Thank you.
