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:

• 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

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 You may think it’s too hideous or outrageous, too out of date or on its last leg.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?
