T.S.
Do you have consignment shops in your area? If you don't want to sell it online, or in the newspaper (do people still do that?) I can't think of any other options.
Hello Mamas, I want to sell my wedding gown. I would like to be able to walk into a place and sell it and be done with it. I don't want to list it in Craigslist or ebay. Don't want or need the hassle of all that. Any places I can physically drive to that would buy it? Thanks for any and all assistance or suggestions. Have a Great and Blessed Day!!
I wanted to thank all of the mama's who took out the time to read and respond to my question. I donated the dress to ARC so that someone else can enjoy it. Thanks again mama's, you are the best!!!

I donated mine to some charity which collect them, re-sells them, and uses the proceeds for breast cancer reseach/ support. The tax write off on the donation was worth as much if not more than a likely resale profit.
There are several such organizations which might work well for you.
Good luck to you and yours,

sometimes wedding dress shops will buy them to resell. May have to call around and ask before just driving down there.
I think calling around to some consignment stores that are nicer and sell wedding gowns would be your best bet. My hubby's Aunt lives in Flower Mound and she goes to very nice consignment stores in that part of Texas and she buys ball gowns, formal designer dresses, upscale clothes, etc....for pennies on the dollar. She is always finding wonderful items. I would try to find some nice stores and ask them if they buy outright.
There are some really upscale consignment shops in Dallas that will buy it outright from you, or you can sell it on consignment.
Look for a consignment shop in your area. While it won't sell the minute you walk in the door. You take it in and they sell it and you get a % back.
