The State had an article this past Sunday titled "Resale paradise", about how the lousy economy is good for resale shops. The article focuses mainly on consignment stores, and includes a few tips for resale shoppers.
Apparently, there is a new consignment store next to Revente, the grande dame of consignment in Columbia. Sid and Nancy (warning: that links to a MySpace page with loud music) is owned by the same people, but I’m guessing from the name and web site that it’s geared toward younger, trendier shoppers, whereas Revente is the place to look for suits, office garb, and formalwear.
