What is a Seasonal Children's Consignment Sale?
- Twice per year, local families gather quality used children's items (clothes, toys, accessories, etc) to sell. Each individual preps their own items for the sale through the use of an online consignment program, allowing each consignor to make a high profit (70% of the sale price). There are days set aside right before the sale to drop off items. Then the sale takes place over multiple days, with times set aside for presale, public sale and 1/2 off sale. To be part of the presale, anyone can register to be a volunteer to help set up, staff, or clean up the sale. Consignment sales are known for having a large variety and selection of quality used items at great prices. Shoppers get great deals, Consignors make money and Volunteers get to shop early. It's a win win win!
- The sales are held every year in October and March. Fall/Winter clothes are usually part of the October Sale, and Spring/Summer clothing is at the sale in March.

- In the future we plan to offer a full-service consignment option, for consignors who don't have time to prep items themselves and are happy to accept a lower profit per item.
- You can choose whatever price you want. A general guideline is one-third of what you paid at retail. Your items are more likely to sell if you set them at lower prices and if you mark the items to be sold at half price. If you set the price too high, your items may not sell. Here are general pricing guidelines to get you started.
