Trade Program
1. How It Works
- Customers can bring in their pre-loved vintage items (apparel, accessories, housewares, furniture, etc.) to trade for store credit. We accept well-maintained, high-quality vintage pieces.
- Please make an appointment here to bring in your item(s).
- We’ll assess the condition, quality, and resale potential of the items. Offers will be made on the spot. We'll offer you 50% of the resale value (what we would price in our store) in store credit.
2. What We Accept
- Categories: Apparel, accessories, housewares, furniture, art, and design items.
- Condition: Items must be in good, wearable, or functional condition. We do not accept items with significant damage unless they are highly sought-after pieces.
- Style & Era: We prioritize vintage pieces from the 1950s-1990s, though we’re open to unique items from other periods that match our store’s aesthetic.
3. Guidelines
- Maximum Limit: Each trade appointment is up to 30 mins long and limit to 50 items per appointment. For larger furniture items, please bring detailed photos of the item(s).
- Seasonal Rotation: We encourage customers to check our social media for seasonal item preferences (e.g., summer wear, holiday decor).
4. Community Involvement
- Donations: Items that don’t meet our standards can be left with us to be donated to local charitable organizations with customer approval.
- Sustainable Shopping: This program promotes sustainability by extending the life cycle of vintage items, reducing waste, and encouraging mindful consumption.
This program encourages a circular economy and promotes community engagement, aligning with the sustainable and conscious ethos of Mood Swing. We hope you think of us when you're ready to part with your pre-loved treasures!
