The way the items are priced at Nana's Closet. The reason some things are priced differently than others.
Some people think and some just assume that the items in Nanas Closet are donated or given to me for free. Let me clear this up for everyone. THEY ARE NOT! We accept donations of children things from the things you use when you are with child until they reach high school. Clothes, toys, furniture, maturnity clothes, cups, anything for a child. Why people don't I don't know. There is a very few people who donate things to me. 95% of the items in the store are bought by me. I go and look for the things you tell me you want or need and I buy it, clean it and get it ready for you to find when you come in.
It is according to how much I pay for an item as to the amount I charge for an item. I do not try to get rich off items. I try to price it as fair as I can. I keep the prices as low as I can so everyone who wants an item can afford that item. I don't buy broken things because I don't want to sell broken things. I want satisfied customers, the kind that come back when they need other things. I buy the cleaner that is used to clean the items, and washing powders that is used to wash every piece of clothes that we sale. I want you to be able to put it on your child in the store if you need to. ( that is cleaner than any department store because they don't wash them for you and you don't know who had it on before you buy it.) that is money out of my pocket because I enjoy my job. I am here all the time it seems. I like meeting and talking to people. I like hunting for items I know someone wants and can't find. Now with that out in the open, I can not just give the items away, because IT WAS NOT GIVEN TO ME. I do keep the price as low as I can. Some things I loose money on an item because I know someone really wants something and can't even pay my price for it.
Think about it, you go to a department store and pay an outrageous price for something you use only a few months, usually not more than 6. Then you need something else. You shop with me and pay half or less and then you can get more of what you want and not only what you need.
I do want to thank the people who do donate items it really does help me and the local people.
I am not part of the missions or any other store in town as some think. I am just a woman trying to help support my family. Thanks for your time. Janey
