VACATION is Buying! Here’s how we do it, and what we are looking for.

We ask that you please call the store or message the shop on Instagram to check that a Buyer is available to go through your items.

Please only bring us clean clothes that are in wearable condition.

We pay outright 33% cash of what we will price your pieces at in the shop.

VINTAGE is a sustainable, environmentally sound, affordable and accessible approach to fashion. We are proud to offer you someone else's pre-loved garments, as your new favorites. The Vintage cycle should to be the modern approach to fashion!

We are size inclusive, so all sizes are also welcome for consideration.

We do NOT buy fast fashion, things like work out clothes, 'mall brands' or synthetics. There are always exceptions, but these are great general guidelines to consider when coming to sell to us.

Jewelry

We buy Sterling Silver and Fine Jewelry. We also love plastics that are pre-1950's and costume that is hallmarked.

Can VACATION buyers come to my house?

YES, but on a case by case basis. We ask you to email or message us on Instagram with a few photos of what you are selling. From there we will determine if a house call is the best route. We do storage units and estates frequently, please inquire if you have a surplus!

Why did VACATION pass on my items?

Please, don’t take it personally! We do our best to purchase what we can from all of our customers, but we can only buy what we think can sell.

Important to Note:

We DO NOT hold clothes, you must be present for selling, and take what’s left with you when we are done buying. Dropped off clothes- with appointment only- need to be picked up same day, with arrangements made prior to drop off. Call or message the shop to set up a buying appointment.
