STA Consignments, doing business as Second Time Around, runs its shop at 3690 Washington Road in Martinez, just outside Augusta, as a full-service consignment store built around clothing, furniture, and fine home decor. The shop operates on a straightforward 50/50 split with consignors, a model that has kept it a steady option for CSRA-area shoppers who want quality secondhand goods and for sellers who would rather earn something back on gently used items than let them sit in a closet or garage. Store hours run Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the shop closed on Sundays, giving both weekday regulars and Saturday browsers a reliable schedule to plan around.
Consignment drop-off follows its own separate schedule, open Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., with new consignors specifically asked to arrive between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. so staff can walk them through the process. The shop caps daily intake at twenty items per person to keep evaluations manageable, along with a five-piece daily limit on jewelry. Clothing has to arrive on hangers and be current and stylish rather than dated, a standard that keeps the racks feeling fresh rather than like a catch-all donation bin. Furniture consignment works differently: pieces need pre-approval before they are dropped off, and drop-off itself happens only by appointment, which helps the shop manage floor space for larger items.
One detail that sets Second Time Around apart from a typical clothing-and-furniture consignment shop is its role as the CSRA’s local Elite Dixie Belle Retailer, carrying the full line of Dixie Belle Paint products. That puts the shop at the intersection of two hobbies that often overlap, secondhand furniture shopping and furniture upcycling or painting, giving DIY-minded customers a single stop to both find a piece and pick up the paint to refinish it. For a region without many dedicated furniture-paint retailers, that combination is a genuine differentiator rather than a minor add-on.
The shop also builds a rhythm around recurring promotions, most notably a long-running one dollar sale held on the first Tuesday of every month, alongside other discounted items scattered throughout the year. Inventory shifts with the seasons as well: fall and winter clothing gives way to spring and summer pieces, and holiday decor for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas moves through the store on its own calendar, with any unsold holiday items required to be picked up by the consignor within four days after the holiday passes. The shop pauses new consignment intake during the first week of January, a seasonal breather after the holiday rush that lets staff reset the floor before the new year’s inventory begins arriving.
For Augusta and Martinez-area shoppers, that steady combination of clothing, furniture, and home decor, refreshed constantly through consignment and punctuated by the monthly dollar sale, has made Second Time Around a dependable stop for secondhand finds. Reaching the store directly at 706-863-1094 or by email at staconsignmentsaugusta@gmail.com is the best way to confirm current inventory or ask about consigning larger furniture pieces. In short, Second Time Around, operating as STA Consignments in Martinez, Georgia, pairs everyday consignment shopping for clothing, furniture, and decor with a monthly dollar sale and a specialty line of furniture paint that few other consignment shops in the CSRA can match.
