Clothing Thrift/Consignment

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

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!

Indeed, I dropped off some stuff this afternoon, and the staff said they'd take my bag to the Cambridge store. (So whatever they pass on, I'll take it over to the Garment District...).

Meredith is very nice; I've been consigning with PLRG since the early days when the store was on Highland Ave, where Magpie is now.

One heads-up with PLRG, though (I don't know whether this applies to BE as well)--they won't look at anything that has been in a home with pets. I understand that this policy is for allergy-related reasons, which makes sense, but it's a good thing to know before you bring clothing in there (also a good reason to call ahead)...
