Reddz Trading

Don’t have high hopes while consigning.
They would rather take ugly clothes in «perfect condition» than good, expensive and stylish clothes in good condition.

I like this place a lot. They have a good selection and the store is always clean. It can sometimes be kind of tough to find clothing items because the racks are always so full but they really do have a lot of variety. I like that they have a separate jewelry and shoe section too. Sometimes you leave there empty handed and other times feeling like you just won the lottery. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the dressing room area is very clean. I can’t speak to how it is to sell items TO them, but the buying experience is pretty enjoyable.

Updating my review from 2010: I’ve stopped in recently and I think they’ve upped their game a bit. Items seem newer and in better shape. I like the new line of jewelry and accessories, too. Still a good place to consign as they give you cash upfront.

I have shopped consignment for the past two years and just recently found Reddz on IG. Having never be purchased from Instagram before I was a little skeptical. However I was immediately happy with there professionalism.
I encountered a slight issue with a pair of expensive shoes purchased from Reddz. They had received a bulk of the same style that day and one shoe was accidentally sized wrong. When I received the shoe in the mail it was not the size listed on their IG page. I’ve worked retail for years and i know that everyone makes mistakes in retail and not. It’s all about how they handle the situation. The manager Lindsey was extremely helpful in resolving the problem. She offered me an extra discount for the wrong size.
For the shoppers out there who purchase from home, always double check with the SA about the size. It doesn’t hurt to ask questions.
Bottom line– will definitely purchase from them again.

If I lived in DC I would have a hard time keeping myself out of this store!
Although there are a few things in the store priced at $ 100+, I’d say about 60% of the clothes here are $ 30 or less, making it pretty affordable.
However, sometimes the clothes seem a little too worn out. I know that that’s kind of the point of a secondhand store, but it’s also their job to weed out clothes that would be better off at a Salvation Army.
Overall, though, the selection is great, and the store is clean and well organized. Keep it up, Reddz!

I went here to sell and/​or trade several very lightly used pairs of shoes and my experience was just awful. As I was filling out the form to have my items reviewed, a tall blond lady came out and without so much as a «hello» started sorting through the shoes I had brought, poking around disdainfully and mumbling to the others behind the counter. While sorting through my stuff, she picked up a pair of Kate Spades as if it was covered in bubonic plague, not even bothering to hide the fact that she clearly thought they weren´t authentic and as she put them down, proceeded to inform me in the rudest possible way that they would be «passing on all my things today» because they were «too summery». I can understand that they weren´t looking for the type of stuff that I brought, but they could at least be polite about it!
I strongly advice taking your things to a place where people are less stuck up. It´s just not worth the public humiliation!

I’ll preface this review by saying that I am very familiar with consigning and selling clothing to local businesses, and with selling clothing myself online. I do not expect retail prices for my items, but I do expect basic courtesy when I bring items in for review.
A couple weeks ago I was in the area, and had a large bag of clothing in my car, so I figured I’d drop in and see if they could take any of it. I’ve sold to Reddz in the past, both this location and the Georgetown location, and know what they usually purchase, in terms of styles and brands. My items were folded, relatively neatly, in a large bag, and contained some of the commonly sold brands at Reddz such as Nanette Lepore, Trina Turk and Rebecca Taylor, to name a few. I filled out the form and left my bag of clothes at the desk, and then shopped around a bit with my boyfriend while I waited for the tall blonde woman to review my items.
After about 30 minutes (maybe a little less, it seemed like quite a while, but it was fairly busy that day, as it was a weekend), she barked my name, shoved my items towards me and told me they were passing on all of them. I politely asked if anything would be considered for other seasons and was told in a very rude tone that they «didn’t buy those items or brands.»
Sure, lady, whatever you say. Those same brands were on the racks I was just browsing. I’d also like to point out that at a size 2 – 4 and size 6.5−7 shoe, I’m a fairly average size, so it’s not like I’m outside their purchasing size range (some stores only buy sizes 2 – 12, or shoes 6 – 10, and no petites/​talls, no wides/​narrows. I didn’t bring my wide troll shoes in, because I keep those, haha. the normal widths all get resold because they pinch my feet, but I digress.)
I’d have had NO issue with her passing on items because they were out of season, or taking some things and not others, or whatever. It was the attitude, and the passing on everything because she clearly took a dislike to me for some unknown reason. Was it my unruly dark hair? My chewbacca boots? My somewhat short stature? Did she see my Pontiac Aztek parked outside the window and turn me down based on that? I’ll never know. All I know is that I will never shop there again, and I’m telling everyone I know to send their business elsewhere. I’m shocked that a business allows an employee to speak to customers in this manner, to be honest. She was rude and condescending-​and nothing like the other employees I’ve sold to in prior years. What happened to the lovely ladies who used to work there?
Best part is that Mustard Seed, Current Boutique and Buffalo Exchange all took the items that were rejected by her. ALL of them.
TL; DR Tall blonde with pole up her butt disses my clothes because they aren’t brands they carry, never mind that they are the very same brands on the racks and displayed in the windows. Sell same bags of clothes to other, better consignment/​resale stores later in the week without issue.

I love this place! People are super fun and friendly and I always walk out with at least one treasure

I used to love this place but got burned several times. I bought a burberry scarf, a small gucci cosmetic bag, and a few pieces of sterling silver jewelry (all on separate occasions). The burberry scarf ended up being a fake and so was the gucci cosmetics bag. The sales people insisted all of their items were real. Check out the review about the fake Chanel bag– I totally believe there is not enough vetting when items are being checked for authenticity. Someone bringing in multiple Chanel bags to sell them for pennies on the dollar is a huge red flag.
I also saw a beautiful Rebecca Minkoff bag (new with defects) in one of the displays. I asked the sales person how much and she said $ 100. I ended up buying the same exact bag on ebay for $ 30 including shipping.
This is a good place to buy something like a bebe dress or jcrew dress. The mid level items are priced pretty reasonably considering what you are getting. The quality, for the most part, is also pretty good. However some of the items have defects and holes so you really have to look closely before you buy. No refunds.
However, the prices on some of the items are way too high. The Rebecca Minkoff bag was a perfect example. A defective bag shouldn’t be selling for 100 with a no refund policy. Coach is also ridiculously priced. $ 50-​$ 100 when you can get a new one in one of the outlets for that price.
I tried selling here and brought some really nice items (Gucci shoes, dolce gabbana bag brand new with tags) and they offered me $ 12 for the Gucci shoes and $ 20 for the Dolce Gabbana bag. I ended up selling both of these on ebay. The shoes went for $ 150 on ebay and were sold in less than two days and the Dolce Gabbana went for several hundred dollars and sold in less than a week.

Going to Consignment stores can be hit or miss but not here! Its all about the customer service — it can make the difference between leaving empty handed or leaving with a fabulous wardrobe. Keli made that happen for me. She is the beautiful lady with long blonde hair. She literally picked out entire outfits for me and gave me suggestions on essentials that would tie all the pieces together! I walked out with 20 new items. Basically, the entire dating wardrobe that I thought would take weeks to find. I think I saved 3 – 4 trips to the mall and hundreds of dollars. I don’t think I will ever go to a mall again before visiting Kelli at Reddz.

7:04 PM I walked into Redz to see if they would buy some items. They told me that their cash for buying clothing closed at seven so I asked could you just take a look at my clothes to see if it’s something you would like and this tall blonde girl turned around and snapped NO! so my personal experience was very poor customer service in the past I’ve had nothing but a good experience although they don’t pay very much for clothing that they buy.
What happened to the group of girls that used to run the shop they were the best!

So to be honest, I shop here all the time. The staff is lovely, talkative and helpful. I would recommend selling clothes here if you have a lot of anthropology, jcrew or tory burch, and those type of things, but not really anything else. They either wont buy or pay enough for anything else.
What I go for is the fun time I have bargain hunting. I have yet to score a reasonably priced bag here, I prefer Current for that, but I have a lot of great second hand jcrew and tory burch items from these guys.
They carry a lot of preppy, more conservative stuff, but there are some boho or unique items there too. I once bought a light pink rabbit fur jacket and I LOVE it. It was such a silly thing, but I wear it all the time.
I really like shopping here, and I would recommend it!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!
I’ve been coming to this place for years because I love the selection and variety of items they sell. I always find amazing clothes and purses from fabulous designers at the best prices. The quality of their items are impeccable many times with original tags still attached. In the past the customer service was mediocre, but this is no longer the case. As of recently the customer service has been outstanding. During my most recent trip the staff was kind, attentive, pleasant, and beyond helpful. They warmly greeted me the moment I walked in, asked if I was shopping for anything in particular, guided me to where I could find what I was looking for, and brought me several items they thought may suit my needs. They provided valuable insight to help me narrow my selection and were very kind and patient with me as I spent an eternity deciding between two gorgeous dresses. They picked out the perfect shoes and accessories to complement the outfit and overall made my shopping experience a true delight. I am always bringing new friends to this place because it’s so great, you can’t help but tell a friend. I love Reddz Trading and will continue to make it my go to place for all my fabulous finds.

I came here during lunch so I could sell some designer jeans that I no longer wear. They informed me that it’s an hour wait for them to see my clothes. I was kinda of annoyed because that’s my whole lunch break. They seem a little too disorganized.

I’m not too impressed .They may have designer clothes but they Lack customer service. I’ve been there on numerous occasions only Twice has someone acknowledged my presence. BTW I have bought and sold a few items there…
Before I left on vacation, I asked one of the girls if they would sell a mink maybe she didn’t understand me with my Southern accent… lol
Just last week, my mom was in the store. She had the same issue with the aloof staff. She was planning on consigning a full length mink mahogany with sheered beaver! She is a larger woman but loves style. My mom always said «You can have class and style without being pretentious «.

The staff here is horrific. The past few times I’ve gone in to shop I’ve either been ignored or treated like an annoyance when I ask for a dressing room, to check out, etc. Tip to management: train your teenage employees not to roll their eyes at customer requests. I’ve sold here a few times with mixed results, but this past time I was kept waiting for almost an hour on a Tuesday morning with few customers in the store. The woman who checked me in did not tell the woman who was picking through the clothes who/​where I was, so I sat on the couch near the front for a half hour while my stuff lay on the counter and the employees gossiped. Finally, one of the women said, «oh, are you waiting for us to look through this?» Communication. It’s not that hard.

The clothing here is pretty good … I typically always find something I like. I’ve gotten several pairs of Seven for All Mankind jeans (brand new) for about $ 40. They’re pretty predictable as far as what they’ll buy and what they won’t. However, they still have some stuff in the store that I wonder about …
The only reason this is getting 3 stars instead of 4 is because the staff are really aloof. Sometimes they’re friendly, and other times, it’s like they don’t even pay attention to who’s in their store. I go here all the time, and I am frequently confused about who works there and who is a customer. I also think the people sorting through potential purchases aren’t too friendly.

I’m only rating the Reddz trading transaction, or lack thereof. I’ve purchased a few pieces here but prefer Current boutique any day of the week if I had to choose. So I come in with the following items to trade for cash. 1. JCrew velveteen polka dot toothpick new without tags. 2. Bebe LBD new with tags. 3. nine west Boutique maryjane sequins maryjane stillettos never worn. After calculations she says «$ 30.00». FOR EVERYTHING, I said!!!
No thanks, I’ll sell on Ebay. Ladies and gents, don’t let these people take your items AND your money!!!
Sell on either craigslist or Ebay. She obviously thought I was a cracked out feign to take $ 30 for such quality items.

Wider selection than Mustard Seed nearby, but I found the quality of items to be lacking in comparison. The pieces seemed outdated and geared towards an older crowd rather than for the «young/​trendy» generation. There were some really nice designer handbags, though — I saw a decent selection of newer and vintage Louis Vuittons as well as Rebecca Minkoff, Marc Jacobs, Gucci, etc. Also a decent selection of designer shoes.
The prices here are hit or miss — there seemed to be some good steals on the denim and some tops, but I also spotted a necklace here for $ 120 that retailed for $ 50 at J. Crew… With that being said, there is a HUGE variety of jewelry to choose from.
Good for browsing due to the large size of the store, but it was hard for me to find pieces I liked here.

Street parking and a few nearby garages. Top 40s playlist to shop to. If Goodwill drank from Bethesda’s bougie punch, this would be it. Shoes and purses displayed in multiple areas of the well-​lit space, plus a small men’s section in part of the back corner of the store. Jewelry at the counter. Staff members are friendly and fairly attentive. This place is pretty sweet, but more so if you’re built like you’ll blow away in the wind. An hour and a half of browsing three sections my first trip yielded one pair of stilettos, a necklace, a bracelet, and two cocktail dresses.
I saw a lot more cute stuff that didn’t quite fit me and/​or my style– kind of depressing when you’ve lost more weight than a family-​size bag of rice and still measure as a large. The staff tries to keep on top of customers replacing items in the wrong size section, but as with any secondhand shop it’s best to allot plenty of time to peruse inventory. I ended up passing on the heels (too rich for my blood considering the amount of wear already on them Chanel kicks) but I scored the rest of my loot for under $ 75. I’ll definitely be back every season to comb the racks, sales and not. A little more feng shui and their organization by section might almost make sense. Always checking pilling and seam stitching, some stains and tears here and there.
Note: I’ve not had any noticeable problems with customer service, but I feel like the jewelry tends to be close to end of shelf-​life; I’ve had a bracelet and two necklaces from here break on me after only a few uses… re-​beading and repairing is a b! Ditto on purse straps about to tear.
2015: staff increasingly indifferent. Inventory lacks during season transitions.
