Where to sell and buy designer consignment in NYC
Sell downtown, where Google lists the shops that buy, and shop up Madison Avenue, where the reviews talk about gowns and designer bags.
New York City has 9 designer consignment and resale shops on this site, 8 in Manhattan and 1 in Queens. Google lists 2 of them as buying secondhand pieces, and both are downtown.
So sell downtown and shop uptown. The Upper East Side has 3 of the 9, and its reviews talk about gowns, designer items and luxury goods rather than cash.
Every one of the nine takes credit cards, going by its Google listing. The difference is what they want from you: your bag, or your money.
