The holiday season is here, and you know what that means, shopping! But shopping also means more money.
So what's hot this season, cost effective, and places cash in your hand?
Recycled retail stores!
This is the place where students may find that extra cash to spend on gifts? Let's just say: Start cleaning out your closet!
That's right; you heard me; start cleaning out your closet to collect extra cash from a local recylced retail store. These stores buy back your clothes! This is no new trend in Austin where Buffalo Exchange's secondhand fashion is popular place with its motto "The look for less". Unlike consignment stores, recycled retail stores give you money cash on the spot. This quick exchange is a big help for college students needing cash. Seriously, how wonderful can that get! Getting paid to sell clothes that you don't wear anymore or that take up too much closet space sounds like a deal to me.
Recycled retail stores also sell new merchandise like shoes and/or accessories to go with their inventory of recycled items. Recycled retail stores are specifically designed for all those going green or the vintage buyer. Plato's Closet buys back and sells clothes, especially from name brands like the Gap, Abercrombie & Fitch, Express, Hollister, American Eagle, etc. Buy backs are not for the original price, but anything toward earning cash is better than throwing away your clothes. Tracy Blue Trading Co. is another recycled retail store but targets more trendy and vintage pieces for their inventory, so don't feel like if you don't have brand name items you can't sell it.
Recylced retail stores are totally hot this season, especially for your wallet! Visit one near you today.
