Crossroads Trading Co.

I live in A-​ville, so walked in one afternoon to inquire about bringing clothes in; the woman explained the rather simple process and I told her I’d probably return later that day with my items. Which I did; a box of clean, nicely folded garments, close to their closing time of 7PM. So we fill out the form, and then she informs me I need to show an ID, no exceptions. I told her I didn’t have it on me and so as they were about to close + I’d be away at work the entire next day, would be happy to stop in with my driver’s license next day after 5PM, and in the interim she could go through the items and see what they had interest in/​finalize the transaction. No. Way. So I asked to speak to the manager, who, by the way, was standing right there when I stopped in earlier to ask what the protocols were for bringing in clothes. Neither one of these women offered that rather imperative detail, then absolutely refused to save me the problem of walking the box several blocks back home, etc. Beyond frustrating.
A week or so later I returned with the items, driver’s license in hand. Based on what’s available for sale there, I was again annoyingly surprised when every single item I brought in – including 2 coats straight from the drycleaners (1 JonesNY, 1 adorable Rena Rowan), some vintage tops, basic women’s pants one might wear for business — many items similar to what they have on Crossroads’ racks, all in perfect condition = DENIED, REJECTED, NEWP, GET LOST…
I’ll stick with Brown Elephant.

I stop by here every week, and they always seem to be getting new clothes on the racks. Wish there were more 8 — 12 size jeans, seems like they tend to have more of the smaller sizes, which is frustrating. But, that said, I found a great pair of jeans earlier today.
Linda, who always seems to be working when I stop in, is great!

Cute clothes! Such a bargain! Who knew? Obviously not me, since I’m twice the age of their average customer. But even I found things to buy.
I’ve been watching this storefront (two storefronts, actually) come together for the past month or so, and was hoping it would open for Christmas, since it looked like a place that would carry clothes for the young women in my life. Well it finally opened today, and what a surprise. Yes, they carry women’s clothes (many of which seem to be purchased by cross-​dressers, but that’s another review), but also a good selection of men’s clothes. The staff is extremely friendly — it was the first day, after all — and more than one of them directed me to the men’s section.
Cute cute cute. I bought two sweaters for $ 15 each, which might seem like a lot for resale, but this ain’t Salvation Army. BTW, this is a consignment shop, which I didn’t know going in, because generation gap and all that. They’ll buy your old clothes, but they’d better be glad rags rather than sad rags, cause the style tends toward trendy, with a side of kicky. As business picks up, expect selection to turn over rapidly. Definitely worth a look!
