Cash offers are 30% of our sales price. For example if we charge $20 for the item you would get $6 in cash for it. Cash is cash! For first come first serve buys (Thursdays and Fridays) we will hand the cash off to the buyer at the end of the buy. For drop off buys (Wednesdays and Sundays) we will send the cash via Paypal.

INTERESTED IN STORE CREDIT?

Store credit offers are 50% of our sales price. For example if we charge $20 for the item, you would get $10 in store credit for it. Store credit can be used in-store, for purchases on social media (including Facebook Live sales), and does not expire. Store credit cannot be used to pay for shipping or for items or services purchased on our website.

HOW FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BUYING WORKS @ CAKE

First Come First Serve buying happens on Thursdays & Fridays from 12pm-6pm

We have a ONE large bag (ikea tote/kitchen garbage bag) -or- TWO to THREE small bags (grocery size bags) per person limit

2) Enter the shop and check in with a shop associate or buyer

3) Depending on how busy the day is there may be a line/wait. The buyer can give you a time estimate for how long it will take to look through your items. It typically takes 10-15 minutes per buy

4) Once the buyer has looked through your items they will check in with you with what they are able to offer in cash* or store credit.

5) Cash will be given. *Please keep in mind we have a daily cash cap, we cannot guarantee a cash offer when come in to sell your items. Feel free to call us before you arrive and we can let you know if we have cash available to offer.

Now buying items for SPRING & SUMMER!

ITEMS INCLUDING LIGHTWEIGHT DRESSES, SKIRTS, TANKS, TOPs, SWIMWEAR And MORe!

Items must be size XL or larger, in good condition, free of strong scents and/or animal hair, and in season.

Please be extra thoughtful about the condition of your items. (This is the most common reason we have to pass on clothing.) Please give your items a second look paying close attention to removing items with any stains, holes, missing buttons, pilling of any kind, or places where the fabric is worn. Examine the armpits and crotches of garments as that is where these issues often are apparent. We don't buy clothing that is unclean or smells (including items that smell of smoke). More info on what we love and what we don’t buy below!

The style of our shop is fresh and trendy. 
If you haven’t shopped with us or sold to us before, please check out our website and social media so you can get a better sense of the style of the shop.

Interested in donating your items to Cake (vs selling them to us)? AWESOME! Cake is so excited to be able to accept donations now! We ask that donations still honor our buying guidelines; seasonally appropriate, gently used, size 14/XL and above. Please review our buying guidelines, even for donations! We are able to accept donations during our hours of operation. (Wed-Sat 11am-7pm) Please *do not* leave donations at our door/outside/when we are not open. The city will charge us a fee for “leaving garbage outside of property”, they’re really finicky about this! Any questions? Feel free to reach out to Mawrgyn at contact@cakeplussize.com
