At PLRG the focus is on quirky, eclectic contemporary wears and 25+ year old vintage. Having served thousands of consignors over more than a decade, it's no surprise the boutique has won multiple "Best Of" titles. Don't bring anything over three seasons of age to your appointment-only meeting, unless it's vintage (25+ years). Items are kept for 60 days and once your balance reaches $50, they'll cut a check; otherwise, it's store credit with a 20% discount. There is a 25 piece maximum.

Second Time Around makes the consignment process easy peasy—and with 11 Massachusetts stores you can even be a bit strategic about where to drop off what. Send the Chanel bag to the swanky flagship at 176 Newbury, but bring those trendy L.A.M.B. shoes to this subterranean shop at the lower end of the street. Whatever (and wherever) you're delivering, be sure to make an appointment in advance and fold items neatly into bags. There is a three piece minimum to start an account, and once set up, it is wildly easy to check which items of yours are selling and at what price when you log into their website. Payment by check yields 40% of the selling price, while accepting your earnings in store credit results in 50%. Checks are cut monthly, so the delay between drop-off and receiving cash is minimal. Insider tip: If your item is new with tags, it will be priced at 50% of the price listed on the tag, the highest percentage offered on original retail price.

Before you drop into either the 180 Harvard Avenue storefront in Allston or the 238 Elm Street one in Davis Square, make sure to call and see what kind of gear is in demand.
