Consignment store closes

A high-end consignment store chain is closing its doors and customers who consigned items with them that sold may never see their money. Judy Simon consigned two designer handbags in February at the Upper West Side location of 2nd Time Around, a national designer resale chain with nine New York City locations. By March, both bags had sold, according to the store's online system, netting her about $230. But months later, she has still seen no sign of the money.
