Best Consignment Shops In Chicago To Sell Clothing And Accessories
You've said good riddance to 2016, and now you're looking forward to the hopes and promises of the new year. Why not give 2017 a fresh start by getting rid of what you don't wear anymore — and make some cash, too? By selling the clothing and accessories you no longer need to a consignment store, you can free up space in your closet and put some money back in your wallet. The Chicago area abounds with consignment stores that just might purchase that designer handbag that's not in use any more. Before loading up your car with your designer items, check out each consignment store's website regarding consignment policies and which items will be accepted.
