Try It On Again keeps things simple and fair:
Pick-up Fee (Houston clients): $10 for homes within the 610 Loop, $15 for those outside.
Consignment Split: We operate on a straightforward 50/50 split.
-
We accept a wide range of clothing and accessories for women, men, and children—including shoes, hats, jewelry, and bags. To keep our process simple and sustainable, all items must have an initial resale value of $35 or more. Pieces that do not meet this threshold, or that prove unlikely to sell over time, will be donated at our discretion to one of our local charity partners.
While we love highlighting standout pieces and elevated brands, our model is intentionally inclusive and designed to make thoughtful resale accessible to all. Items in excellent condition with strong resale appeal may be featured on our Instagram and offered directly to our community, while others are thoughtfully matched with third‑party platforms where they’re most likely to shine.
If you’re sorting through your closet and unsure what qualifies, we’re happy to guide you. Just keep in mind that once items are in our possession, we make all listing and donation decisions, and we do not check in on a per‑item basis. If you prefer to keep certain pieces out of donation consideration, please hold those back during collection. We’re here to make the process simple, supportive, and generous.
-
Items are listed in the condition we receive them, and their condition directly affects their resale price. To give your pieces the best chance to shine, we recommend laundering, ironing, or dry cleaning before collection. We do accept items with small flaws—such as missing buttons, minor tears, or light stains—but please note that these will impact the listing price. All items must have an initial resale value of $35 or more; pieces that do not meet this threshold will be donated at our discretion.
Preparing your items thoughtfully helps us price them accurately and ensures they’re presented in their best light.
-
After an initial phone consultation, we will schedule a time to collect your items. During this time, you have to option to meet with our team in person for a more personalized experience, or you can choose the convenience of a porch-pick up, allowing us to collect your items without needing you to be present. We aim to make the collection process as flexible and accommodating as possible for you.
-
Once we’ve picked up your items, we begin a thoughtful intake process where each piece is reviewed for condition and resale potential. Items expected to sell for $35 or more move forward into our listing process; anything below that threshold is donated to a trusted local charity. If you have questions about specific pieces, just let us know before your pickup so we can talk through them together.
Our intake and listing process typically takes 2–3 weeks:
• Inventory review: ~1 week
• Photography + listing: 1–2 additional weeks, depending on client load
We’ll keep you updated at each stage — after your consultation, once inventory is complete, and again when your listings go live. From there, we handle everything: photography, pricing, and posting across multiple resale platforms to help your items reach the right buyers. We continue marketing your pieces with care throughout your one‑year consignment term.
-
Resale timing can be unpredictable and depends on factors like demand, seasonality, trends, and overall buyer activity. We aim to give each piece the best chance to sell at its top expected resale value, especially when it’s in season. Over time, we make thoughtful adjustments based on how long the item has been listed, shopper interest, and what similar pieces are selling for.
All items are part of a one‑year consignment term, during which we may:
• Make periodic price adjustments to stay competitive while still aiming for strong returns
• Cross‑list items across multiple platforms to increase visibility
• Market your pieces to reach the widest and most relevant audience
If an item’s price drops too low or it reaches the end of the one‑year term, it may be donated or recycled at our discretion. At the end of the term, you’re welcome to request the return of any unsold items; items not requested within 30 days will be donated or recycled.
Early Item Withdrawal Once an item enters our intake process—inventory, photography, listing, and storage—it is committed to the one‑year term. Requests to withdraw items early are not guaranteed. If approved, a 25% processing and retrieval fee (based on the item’s current listed price) applies.
