I have been a consignor at JBU for many many years (since the early '80's). While I have always gotten a reasonable share of the sale price I have found at least one half of the ownership to be quite terse and not the most up front when it comes to telling you what items she will accept and which she will accept later (b/c it is out of season) or not accept at all. You get the feeling you are wasting her time (or taking her away from something else she would prefer to be doing). I have never purchased items but I can appreciate the fact that they don't take ANYTHING outdated, stained, pilled, or otherwise damaged. It is not easy for me to get in there to take things for consignment so making the appointment to take stuff is a hassle. I liked it better when you could just walk in with your items. Overall, I have had good experiences.
Pros: prices are set to sell
Cons: one owner seems less than happy to see you walk throught the door
