Selling us Your Second Hand & Vintage
**ATTENTION** WE ARE CURRENTLY ON A BUYING PAUSE AND WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING ANY ITEMS UNTIL 12/1/2024
Thank you for considering Plus BKLYN as a new home for your old clothes! We are a highly curated resale boutique selling clothing for all genders and we only take the best of the best of secondhand plus clothing (womenswear 12+ or menswear L and above). We expect and accept like-new stylish contemporary brands, designer, and vintage in excellent condition. We appreciate you reading through the entirety of our selling process to ensure you bring us ready-to-buy finds!
How It Works
We are currently buying for WINTER only. A valid license, state ID, or US passport is required to sell. We offer selling and intake in two forms
DROP OFF: You can drop off items during store hours. We review items within 1-3 business days of drop off. Items we do not accept we will donated on your behalf and we work with a handful of local organizations with which we donate. By dropping your items at Plus BKLYN you agree that any items we do not accept will be donated. We cannot accommodate any exceptions.
LIVE BUYING: We offer live in-the-moment buying on a first-come first-served basis Tues/Thurs/Sat/Sun from 1 - 6:30pm where you have the option to pick-up items we don't elect to purchase. On slow days, the wait can be as little as 20-45 minutes. On busy days, the wait can range from 1-3 hours. Please note that all items we do not accept must be picked up by end-of-day, otherwise they will be donated. Additionally if you don't return to retrieve your items and your purchase offer we will default to a store credit payment.
We price items at approximately 30-70% of their original or current sales value, taking in to consideration their condition, style, and potential for resale.
Item Limits
We receive a lot of clothing via drop off so please limit your items to 2 ikea sized bags for live buying, and no more than 4 medium sized bags for drop-offs (no boxes, bins or suitcases accepted).
For drop offs be sure to include a note with your full name and contact info on or within each bag(s) of items. We are not able to accommodate storing loose clothing or returning of bags, so please bring your items in bags you are willing to part with.
What To Bring
We accept gently used or new-with-tag clothing, new-in-box and unworn shoes and select designer handbags that are in season. The seasonal buying schedule runs:
Expectation of Condition
Items should be in excellent resell condition. We have high standards for what we’ll take, so be sure to pre-screen your items and ensure they are in ready-to-sell condition. We're not Goodwill. :)
We ask that all items must be:
- Freshly laundered or dry cleaned
- Free of holes, stains, pilling, broken zippers, missing buttons, odors, pet hair or excessive wrinkles.
- Neatly folded in bags (no hangers), buttoned-up, zipped and never ever inside-out
No exceptions!
How We Pay
We offer both a cash option (25% of the resale value of your goods) and store credit option (40% of the resale value of your goods) when purchasing items. We only offer electronic cash payment in the form of Venmo or PayPal. Note that store credit is honored for use for one year following the sale of items. Please have your preferred payment method on-hand when you drop off items to us.
What We Take
Our customers love stylish contemporary brands (i.e. Anthro, ASOS, Eloquii, J.Crew, Wray, Fashion Brand Company, Big Bud Press, Modcloth) and luxury and independent designer gems (i.e. Tamara Malas, Mara Hoffman, 11 Honore) in excellent condition. We also love gently worn vintage and/or custom clothing with a modern vibe.
What We Don't Take
We are less likely to buy fast fashion brands, but do consider all items that are on-trend in great condition. We also do not take secondhand jewelry. Instead, we showcase vintage jewelry we source alongside locally made & curated accessories in the shop.
We never ever accept:
- traditional professional suiting or officewear (though we do take modern fashion and high-end blazers and casual suiting)
- swimsuits, unless new-with-tags
- wedding gowns
- intimates
While we’d love to take each and every item, items will be carefully selected based on style, condition, and potential for resale.
