Etcetera Shoppe — Local services in Meredith

One of the few local second hand stores in town. Conveniently located on route 25 in Meredith after Dunkin Donuts and is the largest with the most varieties and selection with a wide range of prices. However, I believe that the prices are a bit too high for the most part in comparison to most consignment shops and others seem to agree. I still go every once in a while with my thrifty brother in law and husband when we have time to spare just to see what new items are available and/or check to see if any previous finds are still available and been marked down. We've got some great deals and some not so great. Either way, it's a good time with interesting finds and helpful, attentive, personable, staff. My husband has also brought some gently used and or brand new, unused or no longer wanted or needed items in for sale with some successes and failures, mostly positive results, giving us some extra, unexpected, cash for things that help others who like ourselves work on a minimal budget. Just before leaving items for consignment be sure to read CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY, the contract BEFORE YOU SIGN, and don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure...

Kids Halloween Marvel Black Panther costume, little boys size, priced at $17.95!! I saw the exact same one at Walmart at Halloween, brand new for $15. I was shocked that a store selling used items would actually price things for higher than retail, brand new. The store should do a bit more research on pricing before...

This is my favorite consignment shop! I am also a reseller and understand the challenge that some customers do not understand the difference between thrift, resale and consignment. Consignment is very, very laborious and gives individuals an opportunity to sell their items in a physical store. The overhead is expensive. The items at The Ect Shoppe are gorgeous. They represent the best of past season and designer fashion. The staff is so lovely but pulled by so many questions and they manage it beautifully. I have found some seriously amazing prices based on my knowledge of resale value. Opinions vary but my appreciation of what they do hasn’t. The Ect Shoppe is excellent. Shelly Watson-The...
