Consignment
These items are either sold to the store by an individual or given to the store by an individual for the store to sell for the individual.
​
Consignment stores resell the items you sold or traded with them at a price that they set. These furniture pieces, accessories and clothing normally fit current fashion trends.

(examples: The Cycle of Style and Ragorama)

Thrift
Items (from furniture to clothing) are donated to the store and then sold to the public. Prices are normally reasonable.

Thrift stores are normally affiliated with a nonprofit organization.

Vintage
These resale stores carry items that come from distant time periods
(25 years and older). Vintage pieces are typically harder to find and can be pricey.

You can find vintage pieces in thrift stores, but it can be difficult. It takes a vintage connoisseur's eye to spot them and know their worth.
