Do you have clothing, accessories or furniture that you need to buy, sell or exchange for other items? If so, you may want to seek out a vintage or consigment shop & stores in New York.

A consignment shop is a store that offers the buying and selling of used goods through consignment sale. The benefit is a consumer is able to acquire goods at these shops at a much lower cost since at times it may be irregular (in size or a blemish) or second-hand (sold by the previous owner or their living relatives) instead of new. Although the cost wil be lesser, it may increase once the sales tax is added.

Also, a consumer can be a consignee (a seller) and sell what they own. It is a great way to your make back some money from clothing, accessories or furniture that you will no longer use and left to collect dust.

With the high cost of wedding and prom dresses, it is an option that is catching on with females and now some males in New York. Below are a few stores we have discovered in New York State. Along with the shops below, be sure to check out the Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show for other providers that will be in New York temporarily with clothing and accessories that you may want to get your hands on.

Father has a business strictly second hand
Everything from toothpicks to a baby-grand
Stuff in our apartment came from fathers store
Even things Im wearing someone wore before
Its no wonder that I feel abused
I never get a thing that aint been used

Im wearing second hand hats
Second hand clothes
Thats why they call me
Second hand rose

Even our piano in the parlor
Father bought for ten cents on the dollar
Second hand pearls
Im sick of second hand curls
I never get a single think thats new
Even jake, the plumber, hes a man I adore
Had the nerve to tell me hes been married before!

Everyone knows that Im just
Second hand rose
From second avenue!
From second avenue! nu!

One more time!
Everyone knows that Im just
Second hand rose
(from second avenue!)
From what?
Lets see if you know the fills!
Once while strooling
Through the ritz a girl got my goat…
(she nudged her friend
And said oh look there goes
My old fur coat)
You dont need me!

Everyone knows that Im just
Second hand rose
From second avenue!
(ya cant beat the egg-creams!)
Good! second avenue!
(there is more between me
And fifth avenue, I tell ya)
Right! second avenue!
