Dag Larsen, the owner of the new consignment store, Consign Toronto, says it's all about knowing the area. "Business wear sells well," he said, referring to the Yonge and Eglinton area. "Colour and Burberry. I had a few Burberry pieces and they were gone in two days."

So while Consign Toronto caters to a more conservative client, Revival Couture caters for parties. If you want or have great dresses, that would be your store of choice.

You'll have more success selling your items if you find a consignment store that carries clothing similar to what's in your wardrobe.
