Consigning with Fringe

Fringe is the place to go for consignment in the Auburn/Opelika area, and we love to see new consignors coming in the door! When sorting through clothes you are considering bringing to us, here are just a few things to keep in mind.
  • There are 2 ways to make money at Fringe. Our downtown store offers consignment as well as "cash for clothes". Fringe offers cash for items purchased within the last year in excellent condition. Some brands that we can take for cash include Ann Taylor, Loft, Chico's, Coldwater Creek, BCBG, Free People, and designer jeans. Our Midtown store only offers "cash for clothes" (no consignment) for teen and young adult branded clothing.
  • Freshly-cleaned and groomed items are more appealing to customers, which means they will be more likely to be accepted.
  • Presentation is key. Clothes still on hangers or neatly folded in shopping bags look more appealing to a buyer.
  • Are all the buttons secure? Fasteners in working order? Seams stiff sturdy?
  • Use a good light to look for stains, discoloration, or fading.
  • Only items in season are accepted on consignment, so focus your selection on the current and upcoming seasons.
  • At Fringe, we don't buy or consign any of the following: vintage clothing, lingerie, bathing suits, costumes, or estate clothing. We also do not accept items purchased from Wal-Mart or K-mart and other discount stores.
  • Pricing is based on original cost of item, current condition, age, style, & demand.
  • Thanks for considering Fringe as your consignment home! We can't wait to see what great items you have for us!
