Benefits of Consigning vs Listing Online

When you are looking to sell your bridal gown, there are many options you can choose…ebay, listing websites, consignment, etc.  Consigning your gown may not bring you quite as much money, but you are much more likely to sell your gown.

Here’s why:

 

  • Brides want to try on gowns and see them in person before they buy- buying your wedding gown is a huge investment.  Brides looking at pre-owned gowns are looking for a deal, but they still want a gown in excellent condition.  It is scary to buy from a private seller, since you never know what you may receive in the mail!
  • Brides are more likely to trust a brick-and-mortar store- buyers have more protections when buying from a company vs. a private seller.  There is comfort in knowing exactly who you are buying from.
  • We handle the whole transaction- if you are a busy newlywed, you may not have time to quickly communicate with prospective buyers…it is also sometimes difficult and expensive to coordinate shipping.  We handle everything, so you just ship or drop off your dress and wait for your check!
  • We have the expertise to effectively sell your gown- With years of experience with couture bridal gowns, we are able to match your gown to the right bride!  We know construction, fit, and fabric information that prospective buyers want to know.

These are just a few reasons to consign your gown.  It will be worth it in the end when you have your check in hand!
