Have you
ever been to a consignment shop? Ever felt the excitement of finding a
really unique article of clothing at the fraction of the original cost?
At The Eve of Reduction, we are huge supporters of consignment shops. The top three reasons being:
1. Cost savings for you
2. Supporting local businesses - not only the store owner, but the original owner of the merchandise gets a cut. Typically a 60%/40% arrangement.
3. Environmental savings - reduce your carbon footprint by buying used.
