Melbourne's Best Consignment Shops of 2025

A curated rundown of the consignment stores shaping Melbourne’s resale scene: what each shop takes, where to find them and who they suit best.

Melbourne’s fashion-obsessed crowd has long embraced the circular economy. From designer gems to streetwear steals, consigning and buying pre-loved pieces has become a lifestyle choice that reduces waste and keeps wardrobes fresh. Consignment shops curate and sell your items on your behalf, taking a commission only when they sell; some now offer a buy-upfront model for immediate payment. Below is our guide to the city’s best consignment stores, highlighting what each offers for sellers and shoppers alike.

Goodbyes

With three Melbourne locations, Goodbyes operates on a traditional consignment basis. Sellers receive 50% of the sale price minus GST and a 50-cent handling fee, and items stay in store for seven weeks: four at full price, two at 30% off and a final week at 50% off. Goodbyes is known for high-end labels and quality fabrics, making it popular with twenty-somethings after designer pieces without designer prices.
