Resale is the Way to go! Yvon Santos, area business owner of 2nd To Last Resale and neighborhood resident, knew what she was doing when she opened her new store at 1503 West 18th Street just off of T.C.Jester. “This area was just crying for an upscale resale store. Residents no longer need to leave the neighborhood to consign high end items they no longer want or need.” Don’t want to consign, just want some money in hand instead? That can be arranged also. You may shop, consign or sell all at the same location! With over 3500 square feet of floor space you should be able to find something for everyone on your list! Stop by today and see what new selections have come in as the inventory changes daily.
