    Get Paid

    Enjoy the flexibility of choosing between store credit or cash. Once our experts have reviewed your items, you'll leave with your preferred compensation, making it a simple and rewarding experience.

Get Cash or Store Credit. Your Call.

Real talk on payouts: we price items on our floor at about 1/3 of original retail (which is why our shoppers love us), and we pay you around 20-30% of that. So if your dress retailed for $90, we'd price it around $30 and pay you $7-9 for it. For designer pieces, we pay a premium because designer moves fast and we know what it's worth. You can take cash on the spot, or choose the store credit bonus and walk straight back to our floor to find your next favorite piece. It's your closet, your cash, your way.

Why Women Across the West Chester Area Sell to Us

You have clothes in your closet you don't wear anymore. You know exactly which ones. The dress from a wedding two summers ago. The blazer that doesn't fit your job anymore. The pieces you loved once but have outgrown. They're just hanging there, taking up space and making your closet feel chaotic.

We turn those pieces into cash you can use. Today. Same visit.

Unlike consignment shops where you wait weeks (or months) for a check that may or may not come, we pay you on the spot for the items we accept. Walk in with a bag, walk out with cash. The whole process takes about 20 minutes, and you can shop our floor while we go through your items. Most of our regulars walk out with cash AND something cute they found while waiting.

It's quick. It's fair. And honestly? It feels really good to clear out the clothes you no longer love and turn them into spending money for the things you do.

FAST FAQs

Why sell to Clothes Mentor instead of Poshmark, other online resellers, or Facebook Marketplace?

Selling clothes online (Poshmark, Mercari, Facebook Marketplace, Depop, you name it) sounds easier than it is. Here's the real math: you take photos of every item, write descriptions, set prices, answer questions from buyers, deal with lowball offers, ship orders, handle returns, get ghosted, follow up, repeat. For 30+ pieces in your closet, that's hours of work spread over weeks (or months) for maybe $5-15 per item if it sells at all.

With us, you bring the whole bag, we go through it in about 30 minutes, and you walk out with cash. Same day. No photos. No descriptions. No shipping. No drama. The trade-off is real, but most women find their TIME is worth more than the difference. Plus you don't have a stack of clothes sitting in your living room for three months waiting to ship. And we'll never accidentally forget to meet you in a Wegmans parking lot at 9pm to hand over a $12 dress.

For the everyday closet cleanout, we're way faster, way easier, and you get paid today.

Do I need an appointment?

Nope! We buy seven days a week during all open hours. Just walk in. There may be others ahead of you, but we move as fast as we can. Heads up: sellers who plan to use their store credit to shop with us get priority at the buy counter. If you'd rather drop your items off and pick them up later, that works for us too.

How long does the buy process take?

Usually about 30 minutes for a small tote of items. Each piece we accept gets entered into our system one at a time, but we really want to buy as much as we can, so it takes a little time. You're welcome to shop our floor while you wait, and most people leave with both cash AND something cute they found in the meantime.

How many items can I bring?

There's no limit, but for your first visit we recommend 20-30 items. That gives you a feel for what we accept without overwhelming the process. After that, bring as much as you want!

How should I bring my items?

Bring your items in a bag, box, or basket. We prefer items off of hangers since our review process is manual folding (not a hanging review). Please make sure everything is freshly laundered and free from smoke odors or pet hair. We want to give you the best offer possible, so bring your items in their best condition.

One last thing: we're all in this together, so please keep the size and weight of each container manageable. Your back (and ours) will thank you.

What if you don't take everything?

That's totally normal and we promise to buy as many items as we can! We can only make offers on pieces that match what our customers are looking for and what's seasonally on-trend. Anything we don't take goes home with you, or if you prefer, we're happy to donate it to one of our community organizations like Purple Heart.

What can't I sell?

We look for items in excellent condition and freshly laundered. Please skip items with stains, holes, broken zippers, missing buttons, pet hair, or strong odors.

While we do buy some fabulous out-of-season pieces (think: sweaters in May or sundresses in November), we prefer to wait until closer to the season so we can make our best offer possible.

We don't buy underwear, scrubs, maternity, or formalwear. We do buy PJs and swimsuits if they're new with tags. We also buy cosmetics, fragrances, and lotions if they're not expired (cosmetics must be sealed).

We're exclusively a women's store, so no juniors, kids, men's, or pet attire.

Do I need to bring my ID?

Yes please! We ask every seller for a valid ID. We also ask each seller to certify that they own and are authorized to sell every item they bring in. If any questions come up later, we need to be able to reach out for follow-up.

Do you authenticate designer items?

Yes, we take pride in our authentication process! Our buyers are trained to authenticate designer pieces, and for higher-value designer and luxury items we use third-party authentication. The authentication fee is on us (not passed on to you), but it does take a little extra time for our authenticators to do a thorough review.

Here's how it works: we'll make you a conditional offer, and if you accept, we'll send the item for authentication before paying you. It's a highly regulated area, so we err on the side of careful — for your protection AND ours
— because selling counterfeit items is against state and federal law. We never buy anything we're not 100% confident is real.

How is Clothes Mentor different from consignment?

With consignment, you wait weeks or months hoping someone buys your stuff. With us, you walk out with cash the same day. No waiting. No tracking. No follow-up emails. Just cash on the spot, and a friendly smile from our team because we're genuinely happy you chose us.
