Clothing Thrift/Consignment

I know there are many places in Davis where one can bring old clothes to consign, sell, or donate. Which places are best for which type of clothing? (For example, is one better for designer and another for vintage-style? Hipster?) Any one(s) you'd recommend over the others in general? What are their processes like? [Who gives cash? Credit? Consigns? Need an appointment? How far ahead? That sort of thing.]

The collective wisdom of this community is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Also, is there any good place to bring good quality, barely used, women's shoes?

I bring everything that's in good shape to the shelter in the basement of the Methodist Church on College Ave., right outside of Davis. (If you go up the side street and ring the doorbell on the side of the church, the shelter people will let you in.) I don't just bring them clothes but also anything that might be useful to people: good condition pots and pans, housewares, etc.

The trick with donating to a shelter is you want to make sure everything is in decent condition. No stains, rips, etc.

But the shelter makes sure everything gets to a good home.

Poor Little Rich Girl and Buffalo Exchange both sell lightly used shoes.
