"Why the buy-sell clothing economy is taking off"

NOVEMBER 2016 CBC NEWS

"Marketing experts and resale shop owners say Canada's buy-sell-trade clothing economy is taking off, thanks to millennial consumers' increasing interest in sustainable shopping, more online websites and apps to facilitate demand, the de-cluttering craze and a shrinking stigma around wearing second-hand clothes.

Joy Mauro, owner of Turnabout luxury resale stores in Vancouver, said demand for quality second-hand clothing has "exploded" in the last five to ten years."

"U.S. Thrift Store Giant Targets Metro Vancouver"

AUGUST 2012 BUSINESS IN VANCOUVER

“Turnabout Prestige Consignment owner Joy Mauro told Business in Vancouver that her sector of customers increasingly wants to sell items outright rather than leave them on consignment. Mauro gives them 40% of the resale price for items up to $500 and slightly higher percentages for items priced above $500. When she pays cash for items, she pays a much smaller percentage.
"I used to tell customers, 'Sell it on consignment and wait a while, you'll make more money. And they would,'" she said. "Today it's different. Especially for less expensive merchandise, they don't want to worry about consignment."
