HOW WE BUY 

IN STORE (drop-off or appointment): 

This is our primary method of buying. Drop your items off at your convenience any time between 12pm-6pm daily at our buying counter located at 4155 Piedmont Ave (our denim and tee location). We will reach out to you following your drop off within two business days (M-F) at which point you can pick up your items and receive payment for anything we find*. If you would prefer your items be processed on the spot we ask that you email or call to schedule an appointment. We schedule appointments Tuesday-Friday during our open hours. Anyone wishing to sell must be at least 18 years of age and present a valid government ID.

* Please note that items left longer than 7 days after we have contacted you will be donated unless other arrangements are made. Thank you!

REMOTE and IN HOME APPOINTMENTS: 

To show us your items remotely, email shop@mercyvintage.com. Include photos, description and condition for each piece you are interested in selling. We will send you a shipping label for any items we purchase and give preliminary pricing from the pictures, however final pricing will only happen once we have received your items. If you live locally and have a large collection, we can come to you. Please call or email to set up an appointment and be prepared to give a description and/or photos of items.

SELLING & CONSIGNMENT PRICE BREAKDOWN//

Our process is as follows…we carefully review your items deciding which pieces work for Mercy. We will price each item based upon fair market value which reflects rarity, desirability and condition. We will then offer you a choice between:

• 35% for items purchased on the spot. We use check, Venmo or PayPal for purchases.
• 45% store credit that we keep as a running tab. So whatever you make from the sale of your old items can go toward the purchase of “new” items in our shop.
• Consignment: We offer consignment on items valued at $200 or more. Our breakdown for consignment is as follows:
• 50% for items priced $200 - $499
• 60% for items priced $500 - $999
• 70% for items priced $1000+

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

All of our designer clothing, designer accessories and fine jewelry is authenticated before sold. You will be charged $25 if we authenticate your item and you decide not to sell to us.

We do estate liquidation and buy entire collections. Reach out to us to schedule a time.

Please do not edit what you bring to us. It doesn’t have to be ironed or even smell particularly good, we want to see everything. You may think it’s too hideous or outrageous, too out of date or on its last leg. Let us judge. Bring it all!

We are fair and karma driven and we strive to create a non-judgemental environment when buying. We understand the connection to and emotion around clothes and seek to find the best home possible for your items. Don’t see what you have on our list of what we are looking for? Reach out to us, we would love to talk to you directly about your pieces and see if we are a good fit!
