"Is
there a gold mine in your closet?"
If
shopping would be an Olympic Sport, I'd be a gold medalist. If like
me you are a marathon shopper you might be sitting on a untapped
gold mine in your closet. What about all those clothes you bought
and never wear, all those great outfits that you had to have and
still have the tags on them, what about those that don't fit or
no longer fit into your life style.
When
a dear friend of mine retired from her Corporate Job in a Fortune
500 company, she called me to come over because she wanted me to
help her clean out her closet and get rid of three quarters of the
things she knew she wasn't ever going to wear anymore. She had been
a great fan of Ellen Tracy , Dana Buchman, Ralph Lauren and Calvin
Klein. There were at least 50 suits she knew she would never need
again so she wanted to give them to me. Although I love her dearly
and we are the same size, the last thing I needed was more clothes.
I told her that she had a little treasure trove between two walls
and that I was going to show her how she could make some money and
at the same time accomplish what she wanted initally, to get rid
of those things she no longer wanted.

We
carefully examined the articles, made sure they were all in tip
top shape and them we took them to a very wonderful upscale consignment
shop not far from her home. The shop owner was delighted to get
the stuff and was oohing and aahing over the suits, dresses, pants
suits and shoes that we deposited with her. She already told my
friend that there were two or three of her regular customers that
she was going to call that very day to come in as they had those
designers on their wish list.
My
friend was pleased and we both felt that we had accomplished our
mission. About a month later, I received a call from my friend who
excitedly told me that she had just opened her mail and had gotten
a check from the consignment shop for $750 and a note from the owner
telling her she could expect another check next month as most of
her stuff had already sold and asking her to go thru her closets
again to see what else she might want to bring in.
