I have consigned with local retailers and with Swap.com. I thought I would give thredUP a try. Sent in a bag of fairly expensive items, all of which had either never been worn (with tags on) or worn once and dry-cleaned. Items included limited edition William Rast jeans, a Lilly Pulitzer dress, a handmade Elizabeth & Jolie seersucker dress, and many Ralph Lauren polo shirts. My payout amounted to $12.

It cost more to dry-clean the Elizabeth & Jolie dress (which cost over 170$ and was worn ONCE at a wedding), than I got paid for all the high-quality, designer items I sent. I made $14 on a (yes, a, as in ONE) Forever21 dress with Swap.com last week!

Consign elsewhere, or better yet, DONATE. I regret this so much. I should have donated this entire bag of nice items to people who really needed it instead of making a measly $12 from a ripoff company.

P.S. Was sent an email to follow-up on my experience and am still waiting on a response.
