Is it a hassle or would it be easier to just donate it? We could use the money but I don't want hassle... I could do with less hassle.

Is it a store or a sale? Here they do 2x yearly consignment sales, and those aren't bad. They won't take out of date, ripped or stained, but you don't have to press them or anything (You do have to hang them and tag them). For the stores here, they want pressed clothing, and if they have too much of one thing they won't take yours-- that to me seems like a lot of work and trouble and wait for your money. The sales that they do here , turnaround time is usually a month or slightly less, and you make 60-75 percent. Stores here usually only do 50 percent.

Well, if you think they will sell then take them to the consignment shop. A few dollars is a few dollars.....

Good luck!
