Buying + Selling

We Thieves occasionally purchases vintage clothing, jewelry and accessories from members of the community. We DO NOT CONSIGN - but buy outright. 

We prefer to buy in lots of 10 or more items but if items are special and unique we will make exceptions. 

We take on all the risk and responsibility for what we take and set our buying price on this. We offer -  25% to 30% of our retail selling price and what we know our business can sell it at. We do not look at online retailers such as The REAL REAL or First Dibs as real indicator of an item selling price.
