>> Jason: PERSONAL CONSIGNMENT
SHOPPING.
SHOPPING. I SIGNED UP FOR STITCH FIX AND
WENT 5 FOR 5 IN MY FIRST BOX.
SO HOW DO YOU KNOW HOW TO SHOP
FOR SOMEBODY?
FOR SOMEBODY? >> I MEET WITH THEM AND GET
BACKGROUND ON THEIR STYLE, WHAT
THEY LIKE AND DISS LIKE.
TYPICALLY, IT’S ONLY FOR SPECIAL
EVENTS, LIKE THEY’RE GOING
SOMEWHERE AND WANT A SPECIFIC
LOOK AND I GO OUT TO VARIOUS
CONSIGNMENT SHOPS OR LOOKS AND
PICK IT OUT.
>> Tati: LET’S TALK ABOUT
CONSIGNMENT SHOPPING.
CONSIGNMENT SHOPPING. DO YOU THINK IT’S GROWN IN
POPULARITY SOME.
POPULARITY SOME. >> FOR SURE, DEFINITELY.
WHEN THERE WAS THAT BIG SONG
ABOUT THRIFT SHOPPING.
>> MACKLEMORE.

[LAUGHTER] >> AND DEFINITELY IT’S GROWN
SINCE THEN.
SINCE THEN. >> Tati: BLAINE, YOU DO A LITTLE
DABBLING.
DABBLING. >> I DO.
>> I DO. WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS.
I DO IT BUT ONLY IN MUSICAL
INSTRUMENTS, SO I HAVE A BAND
AND IN MY BAND I PLAY BASS, BUT
I’M A GUITAR PLAYER.
I HAVE 9 GUITARS AND BASSES OF
WHICH I THINK 8 WERE PURCHASED
USED BECAUSE WHAT I’LL DO IS,
FOR EXAMPLE, MY BAND JUST HAD A
GIG.
GIG. WE PLAYED A GIG, MADE SOME
MONEY.
MONEY. AND I’LL TAKE A PEDAL, A TUBE
SCREENER AND HAD IT FOR THREE OR
FOUR YEARS AND WILL GET A NEW
ONE.
ONE. YOU GET A HECK OF A DISCOUNT,
AND I USE INSTRUMENTS VERSUS NEW
INSTRUMENTS.
INSTRUMENTS. I THINK THEY PLAY BETTER.
>> Jason: WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE MY BUDDIES
OVER ON 8 MILE, THE PAWNSHOP,
WHY WOULD YOU PAY $40 FOR A
BRAND-NEW HAMMER?
BRAND-NEW HAMMER? >> I HAVE A FRIEND WHO LIVES IN
ST. LOUIS WHO COLLECTS BASSES,
AND HE SENT ME TO A PAWNSHOP IN
STERLING HEIGHTS A LEFT-HANDED
BASS, AND I’M GONNA DO THE
PURCHASE FOR HIM.
IT’S A SIDE HUSTLE.
>> Jason: IT’S LEGIT SIDE HUSTLE
ON 8 MILE.
[LAUGHTER]
[LAUGHTER] >> AND THEY HAVE SOME WITH THE
TAG STILL ON IT AND YOU CAN COME
UP ON AMAZING THINGS.
>> SO WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW
LIKE THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE
PIECE, SO I NEVER TOOK THE TAG
OFF.
OFF. IT RETAILS FOR $400.
AND WHAT DOES THIS SAY?
>> $2.99.
>> $2.99. >> Jason: DO YOU REMEMBER MY
PIMP COAT, MY WINTER COAT?
I GOT THAT AT LOST & FOUND
VILLAGE IN ROYAL OAK FOR LIKE 30
BUCKS.
BUCKS. >> ONE OF MY FAVORITES.
>> Tati: LET’S BRING IN MICHELLE
OLIVER BECAUSE WE ASKED
QUESTIONS ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA.
>> Michelle: I’M ALSO WEARING MY
CONSIGNMENT OR RESALE SHOP
DRESS.
DRESS. THEY HAVE GOOD STUFF.
THERE’S A PLACE IN CHICAGO,
REALLY COOL.
REALLY COOL. WE ASKED YOU GUYS, IS
CONSIGNMENT SHOPPING COOL?
AND STEPHANIE SAYS, THAT’S WHERE
I DO MOST IF NOT ALL OF MY
SHOPPING.
SHOPPING. I FOUND NICE ITEMS FOR GREAT
PRICES.
PRICES. BEST WAY TO RECYCLE.
>> Tati: I LIKE THE IDEA OF LESS
WASTE.
WASTE. >> IT’S LIKE MY FRIEND WHO ONLY
BUYS USED CARS.
>> Jason: IT’S GONNA APPRECIATE
25% AS SOON AS YOU DRIVE OFF THE
LOT.
LOT. SO BUY A SLIGHTLY USED CAR AND
SAVE SOME MONEY.
>> OR THE CARS THAT WERE USED AT
THE DEALER, THE DEMOS.
>> AND RENTAL CARS.
>> Michelle: ABSOLUTELY ONE
PERSON’S JUNK IS ANOTHER
PERSON’S TREASURE.
PERSON’S TREASURE. AND IT’S THE THRILL OF THE HUNT
TO FIND THE PERFECT ITEM.
>> I LOVE THE HUNT.
[LAUGHTER]
[LAUGHTER] TO FIND A GEM LIKE THIS, IT WAS
WORTH THE HUNT.
>> Tati: I NEED A BUDDY LIKE YOU
WITH ME.
WITH ME. OTHERWISE, I WOULD BE LIKE, OOH,
THEY DON’T HAVE ANYTHING IN
HERE.
HERE. >> HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BRAG AND
I’M NOT A PAID PLUG.
EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT, I GOT
SUCH A DISCOUNT.
WE LOVE TO BRAG ABOUT THE DEALS
WE GOT.
WE GOT. CONSIGNMENT SHOPPING TAKES IT TO
THE NEXT LEVEL.
IT REALLY DOES.
>> Tati: I SAID THAT TO HIM THE
OTHER DAY.
OTHER DAY. I HAD A DRESS ON, GUESS HOW MUCH
I GOT THIS FOR?
WE’RE PROUD TO SAVE.
>> Michelle: MARY SAYS I NEVER
GOT HAND-ME-DOWNS AND I CAN’T
WEAR SOMETHING SOMETHING ELSE
HAS WORN.
HAS WORN. AND I’M SHORT SO CAN’T FIND
ANYTHING NICE PLUS-SIZE.
>> Jason: OR WHAT ABOUT GIVING A
CONSIGNMENT AS A GIFT?
>> I ACTUALLY ASK FOR A GIFT
CARD FROM SALVATION ARMY.
>> I PROBABLY WOULDN’T DO IT,
WHICH IS WEIRD.
>> Jason: BACK IN THE LATE ’90s,
I WOULD GO AROUND TO ALL THE ST.
VINCENT DEPAUL’S AND BUY UP
ATARI AND TELEVISIONS AND GIVE
THEM TO VINTAGE GIFTS, REMEMBER
WHEN YOU HAD THIS?
THEY WERE ALWAYS SO EXCITED TO
GET IT.
GET IT. >> Michelle: IF YOU GO VINTAGE,
IT’S MORE OKAY.
>> Jason: EVEN THOUGH IT’S USED.
>> Jason: BUT IT’S A MATTER OF
YEARS.
YEARS. >> Tati: DO YOU TRUST
CONSIGNMENT SHOPPING ONLINE?
YES, I DO.
OR DO YOU NEED TO SEE IT IN
PERSON ONLINE.
PERSON ONLINE. >> I’VE NEVER BOUGHT ANYTHING
USED ONLINE, SO I CAN’T ANSWER
THAT.
THAT. I THINK I WOULD.
I’VE CONSIDERED IT A COUPLE OF
DIFFERENT TIMES WITH GUITARS.
>> I USED TO SELL CLOTHES
ONLINE, SO THE EXPERIENCE I HAD
WAS THE FIT, TO SEE HOW IT FITS
BECAUSE THE SIZES RUN DIFFERENT.
>> Michelle: THAT’S MY BIGGEST
THING WITH IT.
YOU WANT TO TRY IT ON OR SEE THE
WHOLE THING.
WHOLE THING. A LOT OF TIMES THERE ARE STAINS
THAT COME OUT.
SO I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE
THAT.
THAT. >> Tati: SO YOU KNEE WHAT YOU’RE
GETTING YOURSELF IN TO.
>> Jason: I BUY VINTAGE COCKTAIL
STUFF, LIKE ’50s, ’60s MAD MAN.
IF YOU HAVE THE STARBURST, I’LL
TAKE IT OFF YOUR HAND.
