Central Avenue Consignment

This place is in need of more people bringing their stuff to consign, it was some slim pickings. I walked through as I was killing time for a coffee meeting at Lola. So I thought I walk on over and see what was going on at Central Ave. Consignment. As I walked in, I realized I was the only one in the place and wondered if anyone was even working, until I saw the guy behind the register who barely muddered hello to me. I walked around and felt uncomfortable, like I wanted to get out as fast as I could but I didn’t want to be rude and not give this place chance. So I walked slowly, looked at a minimal items and then the guy behind the desk said «bye! have a nice day!» — so now I feel guilty for saying he muttered and barely noticed me– he has to be so tired with nothing going on in that environment.
This was at least 2 months back, so maybe more stuff come in? Maybe it picked up in there? I will try it out again though– I like consignment shops, that whole saying «your trash (I like to replace the word trash with: „items that don’t work for you anymore“) is someone else’s treasure» is so cheesy but so true.

Central Avenue Consignment is a great new shop in the up and coming plaza that houses Hula’s, Haus, and Lola Coffee. The store carries everything from shoes and purses to dresses and suits. The clothing selection is all very high quality and most of it looks barely worn. The same can be said for their shoe and purse collection. It’s nice to be able to browse through racks of consigned clothing and not gag from the typical musty clothing smell. You certainly won’t find that smell here, in fact it actually smells wonderful inside! I didn’t find anything that struck my fancy in the clothing area, but I did find a wicked awesome pair of black furry Stuart Weitzman boots in my size. These probably retailed for around 300 or so but I got them at 35 bucks. I’m not sure if these were ever worn, because there was no sign of wear on the tread at all! I will most definitely be back in again at a later time when some new things crop up. Be sure to also check out the jewelry selection, there are some great pieces made by a local artist. If you are searching for high quality clothing at a discount price, give Central Avenue Consignment a shot.
