Too Good to be Thru Update

A couple weeks ago, Pamela Corkran shared her story about growing up in Charles Village and years later opening a consignment shop there. Hopefully, her story made you want to pay Too Good to be Thru a visit. Maybe you even have some old clothes you'd like to sell. Today, she provides an update on her grand opening and consignment process:

Too Good to Be Thru BoutiqueInterested in selling your unwanted clothing on consignment?  Too Good to Be Thru is open for business and we have a call out for new consignors!  We are preparing for our grand opening on September 23 from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. and you’re invited!  Please call or email us (contact information below) if you’re interested in attending.

Several people who have told me:  “I just donated my items,” or “I just gave my things away,” or “I sell my things at a flea market or yard sale.”  I am here to tell you there is another option that puts that hard-earned money back in your pocket and doesn’t take all the effort or time of a flea market or yard sale.  Just pack your items neatly in a bag or box and drop them off at:

Too Good to Be Thru Consignment Boutique
2123 N. Charles Street Baltimore, MD 21218

Please click to read more about our consignment process.


  1. Items you bring in should be name brand and designer items in excellent condition (no wear/tears, holes, stains, smells), unwrinkled and no more than two years old. We will look them over and accept the best of the best for consignment because we want them to sell.
  2. We conduct online research to determine the salable price for items.
  3. Once the item is put into our inventory and tagged, it is placed on the floor for approximately 90 days.
  4. When an item sells, you will be credited 50% of the sale price.
  5. Checks are issued on the 15th of each month for the previous month of sales.  Checks are issued only when balances reach $25.00. You may use your credit in the Boutique at any time. You must advise us prior to ringing up your purchase.
  6. Any items that do not sell must be picked up after 90 days.
  7. Items can be marked for us to return to you or be donated if they do not sell.
  8. All consignors must sign a contract. 
We maintain our inventory with consignment software that allows us to send our consignors a list of all products they leave on consignment. Once we get it set up, our consignors will be able to sign up online to monitor items and check balances. Customers can also create a wish list and receive email notifications when desired items come in. I am still learning this new software, so please bear with me!

You can call us at 410-400-3223 or email us at pam@2good2bethru.info for an appointment.  We are currently also accepting walk-in consignments.

Our hours are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 11 a.m. – 6 p.m., Thursday 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.  In some cases, we may be able to accommodate individuals if you are unable to come to the Boutique during our open hours.  Call or email us so we can make arrangements.

See you soon!
