    Neighborhood League Shops - My boxes of items for consigning. Books aren't accepted

    During a girls ' lunch in Wayne, I recently stumbled upon Neighborhood League Shops and discovered…read morethe treasures they sell and the opportunity to consign items you would like to sell. You've heard the saying, "One person's trash is another person's treasure." After refreshing and restyling my living and dining rooms, I found some less-loved items that someone else might enjoy. Knowing I planned another visit to the King of Prussia area, I brought my no longer loved items to the Neighborhood League Shops, a nonprofit in Wayne since 1912. This is my first time consigning. I learned that each drop-off is limited to 15 items, and no books are accepted. The ladies in the shop were very friendly. They explained the consignment process and accepted my two boxes containing less than 15 items. When shopping for preloved items, the quality and value of these older, well-made products are second to none. The Neighborhood League Shops offers an excellent selection of reasonably priced cut glass, crystal, sterling silver, etc.

She especially wanted to check out the Alley Door, which she described as more "eclectic " than the furniture and clothing stores. We first went into the housewares and furniture store. The main floor has lots of cut glass and fine china pieces, jewelry and some art. A few lamps. Not a large space. Laid out well and clean. I headed to their basement, which had more everyday "home decor" items, some linens, small electrics, etc. I saw many lovely things, though nothing interesting enough to purchase. We then headed over to the Alley Door, which is around the corner. Despite it being almost noon in weekday, and a sign stating they open at 10, the store was dark and locked. Huh? We walk back to where we were and ask about this. They know nothing, they said, just that the cash box had not been collected. That's it. I imagine these stores are run by volunteers, and it's a good cause. I'm not sure I would make a special trip to shop there. When I'm in the area, I'd go again.

I was told up front, that he charges $500. There was no talk of additional charges. All was going well as I was able to call and get status updates with full transparency on the need to price adjust. The watch recently sold and he notified me of the amount I would receive. When I arrived, I asked him how much the watch actually ended up selling for sans his commission. Well, when I did the math, he took a commission of $600. When I asked about the difference in price he said it was due to credit card charges (I was selling and not buying), cleaning up the watch (which was to be included in the original $500) and if the new owner said it was running fast, he would have to take it back and fix it. None of this was told to me as part of an upfront charge. It feels a bit like a bait and switch. I do believe he understood my concern around the dollar difference, but he did not offer to make it right. Suddenly the very thing I appreciated about him, me feeling safe as a female, may have served to my detriment. I just feel you should honor your word. I may be out of $100, but I can warn others.

The one saleswoman said to another customer "we know YOU here", which is not even code for "get out" which was meant for me. With their arms folded, they watched me like a hawk, as if I were going to steal a piece of some overpriced Juliska or Sferra right under their noses. There was one woman who used to work here who was friendly, helpful and funny. She is (understandably) gone now. These women are like trained hounds who can sniff out an adverse zip code in two seconds flat. Don't waste your time or money, or ruin an iota of self-esteem you may have had before you walked in.

This store is full of breathtakingly beautiful items, displayed to show their best attributes. Everything is top of the line. The staff are impeccable, genial and warm. While I was looking at sets of 4 coasters for $155 (not a typo- one hundred fifty five dollars), I thought - wow, I want to remember these when they get donated to Goodwill some day. Birthday Twin expressed her thoughts better than I. When they asked how they could help she said "Oh, it's a beautiful store and I am not your customer." Yep, me too. I don't fault them, please understand dear reader. Their offerings are not overpriced, they are top quality. They should cost what they're asking. I appreciate that. Lovely place. I am not their customer.
