Thrift Stores and Consignment Shops in Wichita, KS

Secondhand shopping is one of the best ways to stretch the style budget for yourself and your family.

Consignment stores focus on high-quality items with low wear and tear. You’ll be astounded at what you can find for half price even though it looks new out of the box. Their high standards mean you won’t have to check as closely for rips, stains, or damage the way you do at garage sales.

A number of upscale consignment boutiques for women’s fashions have cropped up throughout Wichita in the past few years. These resale shops are extremely selective about the quality and brands of items they’ll accept, which is great news for shoppers. You stand a real chance of scoring like-new designer brands for a song.

Your Guide to Thrift Stores and Consignment Stores in Wichita, KS

The number of children’s resale shops also seems to keep growing. As fast as babies and small children outgrow their clothes, they barely look worn. So it’s easy to find secondhand clothing in great shape, along with gently used toys, diaper bags, swings, bedding, and even maternity wear. Just be aware that most resale shops will no longer accept or sell car seats and cribs because federal safety rules require them to meet a great deal of criteria. It’s also a good idea to check whether an item has been recalled through the Consumer Product Safety Commission before you buy.

Consignment furniture shops have a constantly evolving inventory, in all tastes and styles, which makes them really fun to visit again and again. In Wichita many also carry lighting, rugs, artwork, and home accents.

A note to consignors: If you’re looking to sell your own items, contact the shop before you bring in anything. Most will accept items for sale only during set hours. Be sure to ask which season of clothing they’re buying. Find out whether they pay cash or offer store credit in exchange for your merchandise. Some will pay cash on the spot; others pay after the item sells. Often the shop will set a window of time for your item to sell. If it doesn’t, it may be marked down, offered back to you, or donated. Learn about all of the shop’s policies in advance to avoid surprises.

Remember the good old thrift shops, too, for bargains that can’t be beat, last-minute Halloween costuming, kids’ dress up, and maybe, just maybe, that last little collectible to make your set complete.

A number of online consignment shops are springing up these days too, so don’t forget to take advantage of resale bargains there too. And children’s consignment sales usually happen in the spring and fall in Wichita.
