Consigning fur
I am going through my mother’s and my grandmother’s things and have many beautiful fur coats that they wore many decades ago. Are there any consignment shops who will sell fur? Any suggestions for what to do with them? The suggestions on BPN are very old and am looking for more up to date suggestions. Thanks!

Hi,
vintage mercy on piedmont Ave, right by the movie theater sell vintage furs.
I had the same issue recently with some of my mother's old furs. Unfortunately, they're. It in high demand in the Bay Area (especially now that the weather is getting warmer, but mainly because fur just isn't popular anymore) - I called a few consignment stores and couldn't find anyone willing to take them. I ended up donating them to PETA, which uses them for protests or donates them to the homeless/people in Afghanistan & other countries that are cold & impacted by war. Good luck!
It might be worth the cost to ship them to a NY consignment shop. New Yorkers aren't so judgemental about fur, and the seasons there demand warm coats.
Not positive, but I'd try Mercy up on Piedmont Ave.
