Most of our merchandise comes from vintage excursions and private sellers who reach out. If you've got exceptional gems and/or a large, well-kept lot you need to move, please check out the guidelines below and send a message via the form at the top of this page or directly to stashHBG@gmail.com. We will ask for photos and basic descriptions of your pieces before making any appointments unless you have a very large lot and would require us to come to you.
+ ) We do not accept walk-ins at the shop to buy from customers/sellers. Appointments will usually be made at my studio in Olde Uptown Harrisburg, but we will come to you if you have a very large collection or estate that cannot reasonably be moved.
+ ) We take stand-out vintage clothing, jewelry, boots, accessories, houseware, decor and small furniture pieces. To be considered vintage items must be 25 years old, but tbh our sweet spot lies between the 1930s to 1970s, and we rarely purchase 1980s-90s unless the pieces are t-shirts or just really exceptional.
+ ) Items must be in great condition and ready to go into our customers hands after we do a hand or machine wash -- That means they have to be free of strong odors like moth balls, pets or cigarettes, free of stains, major sun damage, disintegration, and holes, etc. Many old hangers have foam wrapped edges, and over time foam disintegrates and can damage and stain items. Please check everything carefully before contacting me, especially furs and leather which both will not do well with time if they haven’t been properly kept! Items with damage - obvious sun damage, large and/or dark stains or signs of moth infestation, shedding furs, or pieces with strong odors that I won’t be able to remove in a regular hand-soak, will likely be turned away. In some cases I may offer sellers less than normal for those stellar pieces with “issues” if they are too beautiful or special to pass up but will need to be professionally treated and/or need extra TLC to be able to resell.
+ ) We’re especially drawn to natural fabrics: cotton, silk, rayon, wool, linen, lace, velvet, crochet, fur, suede and leather. We also love wild prints, vivid colors, amazing cuts and designs, loud graphics, color-block and sometimes particularly strange pieces. That said, it’s rare we’d turn down a romper, colorful mod mini or wild printed maxi dress of any kind.
+ ) We'll determine Stash prices for your items and then offer 10-30% for your pieces, depending on the above factors. If you prefer credit, we can usually offer more. Prices will vary depending on the style, condition, and rarity of your pieces unless we are dealing with a massive lot, in which case we will most likely offer one per-piece price for multiple, similarly-styled items.
+ ) Because of our limited storage space, we cannot hold onto items for long. We'll make you an offer within 48 hours if not on-the-spot during the appointment, and ask that you pick your things up within the following 24 hours if they’ve been dropped off.
+ ) Please scroll through the images below as prime examples of the kinds of pieces we would be interested in purchasing if in great condition!
