Champaign-Urbana Area Consignment Guide 2012

Want to save money, help the environment, and maybe make a buck or two? Here’s an idea: shop/sell consignment. Let’s face it – it’s expensive to raise kids! And especially when they are young, kids go through clothes in the blink of an eye.

So what is a consignment store? Consignment shops provide customers with a place to display and sell their merchandise. Policies vary from shop to shop on how prices are set, and what the profit split will be between the consignment shop and the owner. Each shop determines what sort of merchandise it will take, so be sure to check in with each store before you go to sell.

Consignment isn’t limited to clothing and toys; furniture and home decor are also major players in the consignment marketplace. Thank you to furniture and home decor specialty store Copasetic Consignments for its generous sponsorship of this guide.
