  Before you come to drop off  
  Call first at
 905 683 3833   
  To make sure we are not on a drop-off PAUSE

     FIRST TIME DROP OFF ?       

We will go through your items with you the first time you drop off

to give you a rough idea how we decide what to sell for you and what not to bring for next time.

Your items will still go through the pricing process  approx one week later, if at that time we find and damage or stains, smell or if it is not a current style or season we may still donate it at that time. 

Being our 36th year in business we are recieving more and more each year which is why with our limited space we do need to be very particular on what we will accept and what will go to donation

Please scroll down to read more on expensive and or designer items 

as it has more you need to know such as letting us know right away when you drop it off with proof of its value and to discuss the price we set it at and how long we will try to sell for 

Please scroll down to info on items over $250

 Please 1 bag limit   per drop - off  with   acception of     gowns on side on   hangers

  NOTE update 2026  For our   existing consigners 

 

Due to our excessive monthly drop-offs

2 important notes

Please inform the staff if you   are bringing expensive or   designer items ! 

 We will go through those with   you

2nd note

​  We will no longer be examining your casual items 

 upon arrival. 

  Instead, our pricing manager   will go through your items     during the pricing process   which saves us both a lot of   time. 

 So then during pricing process 

 

 Any items that do not meet   the Play it Again Val   requirements will be donated   to the Bethesda House. They   sell our donations in their   local  store, and 100% 

 of the proceeds go to  supporting abused women in their shelter

 

  We donate items that are damaged 

 

              stained, too worn             

     

         over quantity, out of style
