Getting ready.
Visiting our store.
When you arrive at CALICO, our employees will show you to our buying counter. We provide on-the-spot evaluations and pricing for clothing, so you can get paid as fast as possible. While we handle the purchasing process, we invite you to browse around the store. When we are finished, you can see what we can and cannot accept. If you have any questions about our buying process, just ask!
CALICO is not a consignment store, so you can look forward to getting paid as soon as we finish sorting. You will have the choice between cash and store credit. We pay you based on what we think your items will sell for in our store. If you choose cash, you will receive 25% of what we will sell your items for. If you choose store credit, you will receive 35% of what we will sell your items for. What are you waiting for? Stop in today!
Getting paid!
What should I bring?
Your items to sell. No appointments are necessary, so go ahead and bring your items with you any day you feel like shopping. We accept men’s and women’s clothes, shoes, and accessories.
A sturdy container. We ask that you bring your items in a sturdy bag or basket, not in a trash bag. We also ask that items are taken off hangers. This is important to our sorting process, so we will have to turn you away if you do not follow this rule.
A valid ID. We can only sell to customers that are 18 or older. If you are not 18, please someone who is to your appointment.
Brands and styles we like. If you want us to buy your items, make sure they are pieces we will be interested in. One way to figure out what we like is to shop around our store. This way you will have a good idea of what we have already bought from customers. We pay attention to trends, seasons, and our own inventory when we buy.
