A Semi-Annual Consignment Sale and Mom Extravaganza

Top Seller Tips

1. Toys and baby equipment sell like hot cakes!

2. Clothing with the label or the tag with the size ripped out will not be accepted.

3. Consignors that use the "1/2" mark on their tags do better.

4. Brand name clothing sells faster and for a better price.

5. Mart brands will only sell if they are priced very low (Ex: Cherokee, Faded Glory, Basic Edition, etc.)

6. Presentation is everything.  Keep it clean and if possible group sets together.

7. Don't price based on your emotions and memories of your child wearing an outfit.

8. Zip lock bags are great for keeping grouped items or pieces together.

We asked some of our top sellers at our event why they thought they did so well and                   here is what they had to say...

Wow!!! I am amazed that I was the Top Seller!!! That is awesome!! First, most importantly, thank you for letting me be part of such a fun, and great experience. It was very organized and I liked that the most. I think the best way to sell your items, is #1 make sure the appearance of the outfit is in top condition. Also, just put the "1/2" mark on everything, because I'd rather receive something than nothing at all, wouldn't you?? Why bring the stuff back home?  And last, sell your big items, they are taking up too much room in your house anyways! I am already getting ready for the Spring/Summer Sale!!  I look forward to making us lots more money next time!!!!

"I would say that making full outfits was beneficial for me. Put the set together and drop the price a little bit. I would rather sell a top and bottom together for a buck less and take the chance of selling only the top or bottom at it's full price. Make sense? Including shoes in the outfit worked for me. I mean, what are you going to do with a pair of sandals laying around. Throw them in, add 2 bucks and you will have a full outfit. Another thing is have someone else price with you. You're not objective when you're pricing. You remember how cute your kid was in it, you have memories. You're going to think it's worth more than someone else. Someone pricing with you can be objective and tell you honestly what they would pay for it. Oh...and make it smell good. Febreeze the thing if you have to!"  -Kelly (Spring '07 sale)
