founded her consignment shop in Columbus Ohio, in 1975.
Now, through Too Good to be Threw's Products for the
Professional Resaler, Kate offers a wide
variety of educational material.
One More Time, Kate's
shop, was an immediate and consistent success. Having grown up in the
consignment business, Kate used her experience to start her shop with
less than $1000. One More Time was profitable within six weeks of
opening. From its first day's sales of $31.90, the shop grew from 750
square feet to 3200, adding 1,000 consignors each and every year. OMT
now continues its growth with a Too
Good to be Threw-trained owner.

Good to be Threw: The Complete Operations Manual for Consignment Shops
was an immediate success as a workbook and how-to guide to operating a
resale shop. Continually revised and updated, Kate is proud to continue
to offer the
most complete resource in Too
Good to be Threw, The Complete Operations Manual for Resale &
Consignment Shops. TGtbT is
the only operations manual written by a real-life resale
shopkeeper!
