Review from sallie w.

I've had a couple great experiences at b. so far. First of all selling clothes there has been super easy (I've done it twice now), they took pretty much everything and I walked out w/ a nice chunk of change + 2 dresses, a couple of shirts and a sweet pair yellow heels from Anthropologie - looked like they had never been worn - $16!!! There were some great boots but I decided to wait on those.
The styles range, pretty broad. The store is organized by silhouette and then by color family. I found 2 vintage dresses there that I fell in love with. I even picked up some 'vintage' (wink wink) GAP & Merona I mean yeah those are mid to low tier brands but it was really cute stuff and priced to sell, great deals. I also spied some LAMB and BCBG so there are better brands too, just gotta dig a bit.
The store is clean, cheery and good vibes. There are 2 fitting rooms that are spacious, clean, private - no weird curtain or mirror outside, the mirror is inside the room. Mostly stuff for the ladies but there is a decent sized guys section. My boyfriend found a couple great western style button downs. This place is definitely worth checking out, easy to get to, etc. -

Clean and well organized resale shop. They have lots and lots of great shoes and the prices are average/ reasonable. There is a jumble of styles from J.Crew blazers and nice business casual to Vintage dresses, to cast off Old Navy items. I didn't find anything that tripped my trigger this time but all items were well maintained and clean.
The store will take a look at any items brought in for sale and its the usual 35% in cash or 50% in store credit if you sell any items here. I brought in a small bundle and they bought nearly everything and offered me a very fair price for all items.
The store does seem to want to purchase and offer higher brand names, and there were a few but not a whole lot yet, the store has been open for a month or two and I look forward as to what it will become. -

Just an fyi to anyone thinking about selling their clothing, shoes,or accessories to b. They don't give you jack for your stuff. I ( stupid me ) took a beautiful designer dress to B's to sell and all they wanted to pay me was 8.00. Keep in mind this dress is new with the tags on and in very current style. The woman who was standing next to me was amazed at how little they were willing to give me. In all fairness, this store has some good deals but I think I'll just shop not sell!
