Teenagers (and these days pre-teens, too) can be even more expensive to outfit than babies and young kids. Not only are they still growing, and therefore regularly changing sizes, but now you also have to deal with the pressure of your kids wanting the same hip clothing brands and items that their BFF is wearing. Plato’s Closet focuses specifically on “trendy” resale clothing for older kids and teenagers, and has multiple locations in Pittsburgh. Xhilaration, Billabong, Bebe, Forever 21 and Jessica Simpson are just a few of the name brands being sold at Plato’s Closet. Bring your mini-adults here to shop and you might just gain “cool mom” status… even if just for a day.

Just Between Friends of Pittsburgh North hosts children’s and maternity consignment events in the spring & fall in clean and organized rotating venues. Only high quality and safe items are sold, and a unique online tagging system is used by consignors to provide an accurate and efficient system. This process allows consignors to be paid in a timely manner at the end of the events, and also lets them earn 65% profit from their sold items, which is more than the standard 40-50% that consignment shops often offer. Consignors also have the option of volunteering at the events to earn 70% on their sales and get first dibs at shopping during the presales. Consignors, first-time parents, teachers and military families have access to the presale events as well! The last day offers shoppers 50% off on much of the remaining merchandise.
