Fabulous Finds Upscale Consignment

Snooty sales staff, over and over again. I can’t understand it. If they know you, they seem to be syrupy-​sweet, all others seem to get looked at with the over the glasses and down the nose look. The one time I brought a friend in, the saleswoman acted so demeaning toward her that we left and I had to aplogize to her. That was my last trip ever to this store.

Not very friendly staff. Hard to believe that a store that profits from items «YOU» bring in to consign, making them money, isn’t friendlier. What is happening now is that there are so many items in the store that if you consign something with them it has little chance of selling. Plus, they randomly reduce the price of items giving you an even smaller margin of profit. I agree also on the comment that if you don’t pick up your items they donate them, and receive credit for the donation.
I am definitely not going to consign here anymore, but will go to the other consignment shop in Longmont which is much more friendly!

We did not have the easiest time here but I do not think this is a terrible shop — they just have their rules and you have to figure out how they work.
Firstly, lots of clothing choices — whether you like them or not is up to you (read some of the un-​recommended reviews — about ¹⁄₃ of them appear valid and some people Love the clothing here). Most of it was not my style but I can appreciate that it would make some else happy.
Secondly, the consignment part is tricky — I bought two pieces (skirt + blazer) took them home and realized that the blacks did not match (should have taken them out in the sunlight at the store). Came back to the store and my only option was to reconsign them — at a much reduced value for me — one item sold quickly and the other item was lost (sounds like they sold it and did not keep track of the sale). It took a couple of phone calls and visits to the store but finally I was paid. My memory is they will not cut a check to you for an amount less than $ 20 — so you have to back to the store. Also, the store credit is higher for your items than the cash-​back value.
Finally, yes, I did find some of the ladies there condescending — but then again there was one sweet older lady and a friendly, helpful young adult — so it probably depends on which sale clerk you are lucky (or unlucky) enough to encounter!

I have to agree with the other reviews specific to the uppity personalities as well as the undisclosed consignment procedures. While they do hand a list of «consgnment info» to you, there is more that is not told:
1) If your items don’t sell, you have the option to donate them (they get the donation credit) or pick them up. Picking them up means finding and pulling them off the racks. And they aren’t particularly excited by the fact you opt for option two. They give you a list of the items and the location in the store where you theoretically find them (imagine finding your pair of jeans amongst a rack of hundreds). This is not an easy task.
2) If your items do sell, and you try to collect the cash, they «discourage» reimbursing you for amounts less than $ 15, so you have to wait till enough of your items sell to make it worth their while to send you a check. In addition to the standard consignment fee, your reimbursement is reduced by $ 1 for a «check writing fee». Seriously?
I use Unilocal constantly and rarely review stores or restaurants. This experience has motivated me to be a more frequent reviewer. This store is outrageous — I do not recommend consigning there.

I’ve tried very hard to like this store, but after several attempts, I’m done trying. I had the same experience as others, with salespeople not taking a second look at me, or if they do, it is down their noses. My only positive experience is that I sold some lamps there and now have a store credit.
My latest experience was taking in a load of clothes and shoes, and trying to find something to use my store credit on. First, they took none of my clothing and shoes. It was all seasonally appropriate, some never worn, and high end brands (Ahnu, Eddie Bauer, Nike, etc). I was looking to purchase a new sweater for fall/​winter. All I found were either something I’d wear to an ‘ugly sweater party,’ or in poor shape for what they were charging. I have plenty of sweaters with pilled sleeves, and don’t need to spend $ 25 or more on a new used sweater with the same.
The store is very crowded with clothing racks. They need to donate about ²⁄₃ of the inventory, set aside the ‘ugly sweaters’ and older lady styles in one section of the store, and buy some clothing in good condition that women under 60 would appreciate.

Fabulous Finds is nice if you want to spend a lot of money… if you’re looking for thrifty finds, even more «upscale» thrifty finds– this is not the place for you!
I did buy a formal prom-​type dress here for $ 19, but it was on 75% off clearance. This find was the exception, not the rule. Their throw pillows are typically in the $ 20-​$ 70 range, so you can imagine the clothes prices.
Also, the ladies in here are very «uppity» and not at all friendly if you don’t know them. Some women came in that the staff seemed to know and they were treated well. I was barely glanced at, and the staff lady who rang me up kept talking to another customer the whole time. Literally the only words she said to me were my total, and «bye».
Not a big fan.

I’ve gone to FF a couple of times. There are a lot of clothes in the store, jewelry and accessories. They’ve put a lot of effort into their displays. I think some of the merchandise is priced a little high. In the housewares/​home section, to me, most of it looks «new»… no older, vintage, unique or antique items that I could see. I can go to a discount home store and see similar things. I found the staff to be kind of «stuffy» and not overly helpful, although while I was there several other women came in that seemed to know them and they received friendly treatment. Not sure what’s going on with the customer service… the other review certainly was alarming enough to keep me from consigning there — at least for now.
