Found is a high end counterpart to the also-popular secondhand shop Buffalo Exchange across the street. Act quick when you find a treasure, whether it be a Celine bag or rag & bone sandals. Consignors receive 40% of the selling price and should call to make an appointment (there is a four piece minimum to start an account). Articles should be of a current style or wearable vintage, seasonally appropriate and generally no older than two years.

Harvard Square institution Oona's Experienced Clothing has been dressing Greater Boston in the funkiest vintage gear from the 1930s through the 1980s since 1972. Want to sell here? They buy Monday through Thursday, 11am to 7pm (no appointment necessary). Oona's offers 35% of the resale value in a check on the spot or 50% in store credit; bring no more than 30 items from their favored brands.

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.

The Allston Rock City outpost of national chain Buffalo Exchange carries all the affordable style that hipsters and students crave. When that same crowd needs beer money, last year's clothes can be sold here for immediate cash. Buffalo is buy/sell/trade, meaning you can leave with cash in hand or a higher value in store credit. 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.

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.

Its motto is "gently worn, gently priced," so if you dream of vintage Lanvin and Chanel tweed, this is your new favorite store. A hefty 50/50 split (mailed monthly) on consignment gives love back to sellers too. Assuming any of the seasonal, 1-2 year old items you bring in make the cut, there could be a significant payment in the mail upon selling. Make an appointment for a 15-20 piece haul.

This South Boston spot opened just six months ago, drawing in onlookers with an edited selection of designer accessories (Chanel, Louboutin, and Hermes abound), especially a prominent shoe display. Some contemporary pieces (Elizabeth and James blouses, Fallon dog collars) are mixed in, as well as discounted fragrances and nail polish—even a children's section. It offers a typical 60/40 split (75/25 for ultra high end items) and will launch daily Facebook auctions this month to support rotating causes. First up is the Henderson Inclusion School.

Owner Hanadi Hamzeh opened this "boutique with a heart" last fall bringing an experience championing eco-, animal-, and budget-friendly shopping.

Checks are mailed for amounts over $75 every month. First time consignors are encouraged to make an appointment.
