consignment shops tend to be more expensive and of better quality (fur coats, ugly shoes and semi-precious jewelry) and are run differently than other shops, kind of like ebay. when an item is sold, the bulk of the money goes to the previous owner while a smaller portion, like a commission or sellers fee, goes to ebay, or in this case, the consignment shop. a consigment shop doesnt actually own the items it is selling, instead it keeps track of whose items it sells (there is usually an identification number on the price tag), sells the item, and either contacts the original owner or keeps a tab for them.
while consignment shops are in the same category as second-hand and and used clothing, they are very different becuase they target old people and are usually 'nicer' however, even they aren't nice they are still more expensive becuase two parties are trying to make a living instead of just one.
it freaking does, i'm pretty sure i see everything that becky and nina were saying in what you just said, but i think i needed to see it in print before it could sink in
Calling him Xander makes me feel uncomfortable for some reason. I like him a lot more when his name is Alex. Brendan, we should totally put on our suits from Halloween one day. I miss wearing them. By the way, I called you at 1:45, approximately seven minutes after this LJ entry...you should have gone out with us! Don't worry, you didn't miss much, except some diving into bushes and being locked out of my house. But seriously, suits, let's plan it.
