Why choose Mimi-zilla.com?

I guess the reason for choosing us kind of hinges on why we started...

I'm busy. Who isn't?

The economy is tough. We're all feeling it...but you know..this isn't enough..and these reasons don't make for a real story.

We're real people. Seriously, no robots here. You deserve a real story.

My sister has twins (imagine the cost of clothing them). She took some of her outgrown kid's items to a consignment shop and they gave her $2. in store credit for her items.

Better yet, she had a 60 day window for her items to sell--or become property of the store owner (aka donate to charity in this case).

I had been kicking around the idea to open an online consignment store as a creative outlet from my 9-5, and as a way I guess to say...that's just not how I would do things.

As I began telling my friends about my new project and focus..I began hearing stories of them dropping off items (both adult and kids) at locations across the US and never hearing back from the stores, and never getting money for items...and I thought...that wouldn't work for me. Why should that work for anyone?

So a vision came about via several brainstorming sessions about finding a way for people to easily get quality items to us, and from us..and a company that has a mission to exceed expectations and  anything others can offer was born.

How can we do this? We have low overhead and a current philosophy that it's more about the philosophy than the profit.

  • We can do things others can't because of this...like give you a 50% take on sold items. 
  • We can list your items for 9 months or longer if we wish, because we have zero storage limitations.
  • As IT nerds, we've developed a web front end that makes starting the process with us very easy & a web back end that can track items for you so you never have to worry about never knowing where your items are...or how much they sold for. 
  • We've put a significant amount of change into marketing...if you're going to do something..why do it halfway? You will have a national audience for your items.
  • We're open 24/7 because we are online.
  • (In the works we have something super cool with UPS that you'll also love as a busy person..keep your fingers crossed and your eyes back on our web to see if it comes to pass)...
In short, we're striving to be rock stars...so you'll love us.
