You cannot hardly listen to one newscast or read headlines without seeing poor economy projections. With rising gas costs, increased food cost, and winter heat bills around the corner many people are feeling a squeeze. Many Americans are having to adjust their spending. And yes, items like designer purses can be the first things to be be cut out of the budget.
But there is hope if you are on a tight budget but really need a handbag change. You can try a high-end consignment store. People who are really stretched financially are selling off their high end items to get the cash they need for daily life expenses. Purses sold at high end consignment stores can be just like new but at discount designer purse prices.
Two examples of this happening are
At a purse blog I participate in online, a lady was selling a very high end purse in order to raise rent money. She was very sad but keeping in things in perspective.
The second example, I found talked about in the influx of quality items at consignment store. Here is part of a news article about finding great deals at consignment stores. The article states…
"I've seen things come in where they say they don't want to part with them, but they have to," said Carrie Almadani, owner of the Second Avenue consignment shop on Rantoul Street in Beverly.
People have been bringing in designer clothing and accessories, jewelry, and other high-end, expensive items, presumably so they'll get more of a return when it sells. Like many consignment shops, Second Avenue splits the proceeds from a sale evenly between the store and the person who brought it in. The Coach purse was on the shelf for $75.
