Making some extra cash #1: Selling/exchanging your clothes

Has anyone heard of Buffalo Exchange? It's a great clothing store that functions like a consignment shop, allowing you to trade in your clothes (that are of good quality) for money or new clothes. I've done this quite a few times and this is how it works:
You take in clothing that is currently in style and currently in season.
The counter person looks over your items and tells you whether or not it will sell at the store and how much it is worth to them.
AFter tallying up the amount at the register, you can either get 50% of the amount that your clothes are worth in store credit or 30% in cash. Quite a few times I've looked around the store to see if I've found anything worth buying and if not, I'll just take the cash. Although a week ago, I got a pair of Michael Kors jeans and 30$ in cash back after I traded in a few vintage handbags my mom had bought me at Goodwill. I plan on going back this week and will recount my experience in the blog.
