Holiday shopping & why you shouldn't overlook consignment

When is it ever not the season to look amazing? With holiday parties, celebrations and gift exchanging around the corner consigning/consignment has never looked so good. While it may seem a bit taboo to buy that special someone a consigned present you may want to reconsider when thinking about the actual bang for the buck. What's more just because something has been pre-owned doesn't mean it has even been worn. consignista.com carries many 'new with tags' items just like the Manolo Blahnik "Sedaraby" shoes - currently selling in Saks, Neiman Marcus or Bergdorf Goodman for $755.00 that consignista.com are selling for $377.50 or a Jones New York Sequin Swirl Dress purchased at $179.00; consignista.com's price? $75.00. And if that wasn't enough of a saving we ship for free! The bottom line is that you are getting exactly what you want at a minimum 50% discount simply because someone else purchased it before you. Most importantly, you almost always can never even tell an item has been pre-owned when you buy it through consignista.com. 

But it gets better. When browsing consignista.com's virtual shelves for your hearts deepest desires, not only can you purchase whatever it is that catches your twinkling eye, but you can also consign your own items using our unique do-it-yourself upload form and earn 70% on every item you sell. So, why wait for Spring to clear out some closet space for some new goodies? In addition to consigning online, we offer two methods of concierge service (standard and premium). Whatever your choice of consigning with us is, the most important part is you get to price your own items.  To read the different levels of consignment options you have, or just to see how easy it is to consign with us, just read our 'how to' Guide.

Are you too busy to check in for the items you are looking for? Not a problem. We now offer a personal shopping service. By simply filling out a form listing your top brands, sizes and whatever other details you want, you can submit your request and as soon as those items, brands, sizes, etc hit the consignista.com virtual shelves, you will receive a helpful little email reminder letting you know that your goodies are in. Talk about convenient!
