Make sure your items are clean
Washing, ironing, and folding, or hanging the items on hangers will make the consignment store happy and will increase the chances that someone will buy your items. Make sure you prepare the items the way the consignment store has asked you to. Merchandise that is stained or damaged won’t be sold at a consignment store. You can set those aside to donate to a thrift store.
Help out a charity you like
Most of the time, the consignment store won’t take everything you take in. They may already have too many things like what you have, or they may not have enough room for larger items you want to sell. If so, you have a couple of options. You can investigate other consign- ment stores and divide your merchandise up between them, or you can simply donate those items to a charity in your area that you would like to support. Some organizations will even pick your donations up at your home.
