Ways To Turn Your Closet Into Cash

by | Aug 22, 2019 | Selling Your Stuff

Is your closet bursting at the seams? Do you struggle each morning, trying to put an outfit together for work or school? Do you just have too much stuff?

Once ‘n Again has the solution for you!

The answer to all your closet woes is to do a major purge then head to your local consignment resale thrift shop to consign, sell, or donate your items. We all tend to hold on to items long after we use them. But a packed closet is a deceptive one. We assume the more we have the better our wardrobe will be, when instead it’s just a mess to dig through. And when you can fatten your wallet by slimming your closet, purging the clutter becomes that much easier!

Some great questions to ask while cleaning your closet:

  • Did I wear this recently (we mean a few months—no more than a year)?
  • Will I wear this again?
  • Would I buy this if I went shopping today?
  • Will it be in style next year?

If you said no to one or more of those questions, fold it up, put it in a bag, and then come visit us at Once ‘n Again! Check out our tips to clean your closet in 5 Simple Steps!

Most people don’t know the difference between thrift, resale, and consignment stores and tend to lump them into the same category. But did you know your local resale and consignment shop can help line your wallet with cash? While most thrift stores take all items on donation, resale and consignment shops pay you for what you bring. Here is how it works:

Resale shops pay cash for the gently used items customers bring into the store. They look through the items right then, so you have instant gratification for your closet clean out! Great option if you have small quantities. Once ‘n Again no longer offers cash now, we do offer the convenient full-service drop & run consignment.

Consignment shops work a bit differently. These are stores that sell preowned items on consignment for you. Once the item has sold you get a guaranteed split of the proceeds, and while it isn’t as instantaneous as the cash now perk of resale, with a little time it can be much more profitable for you! For large quantities, multiple seasons, no limits, Once ‘n Again does the very convenient drop & run consignment by appointment.

Now that you know you can make money for your gently used preowned clothes, here are the reasons you should choose Once ‘n Again in Fairbury, IL!
