Yours Truly Consignment Shoppe

Gotten too big for her business!

I had been a return shopper for many years and have watched the store go from pleasant and fair pricing to snooty and overpriced.

I agree with the ladies commenting on the idiotic "no purse rule". I mean who can shop comfortably w/o their purse to hold their cell phone and wallet? If my hands are full then how can i search through your racks for items I might would buy?

This whole no purse thing was more prevalent in the big flea mkt. shopping center's, now every used items store is trying to follow it, I guess??

Whatever, this owner can keep her used items and I'll keep my purse.....WITH ME!

• Pros: nice clothing (used)
• Cons: pricey and rude

Security Problems

by leeszoo at Citysearch

This is a great shop, however, I left after being told I had to put my purse in my car. Been there, done that - since I've had a purse stolen from my car before. The security officer offered to watch the parking lot -seems he needs to do a better job watching inside. I was stopped after shopping for only 5 min (already had 4 tops), so I walked out & they lost over $100 sale. They need to invest in a better security system if they want my business!

• Pros: great clothes
• Cons: Crazy policy of No Purses

Can't wait to go, but think policy is a bit "much".

I love good, clean, & up to date consignment shops....hard to find! I'm so excited to go visit, but will say I'm not too crazy about their no purse policy. Every retail shop deals with theft, but they put other security measures in place to help with shoplifting. What about leaving your purse out in your car, & it being public knowledge that all customers in that particular store, have most likely left their purses in their vehicles? I recently had a girlfriend have her car broken into & purse was stolen, right in front of her 3 yr. olds preschool, at a church! So, the store may feel more protected, but the public doesn't. That's just not good long term sales strategy to me. Those who are going to steal will find a way, trust me.....I used to work with juvenial delinquents & you'd be amazed WHERE they would (& could!) hide things to steal. Having said all this, I am still excited to go! I'm a girl who loves great designer clothing at great prices, but will remember to not take my purse of put it in my trunk. :)

• Pros: Not sure yet :)
• Cons: Sounds like liike
