I recently discovered the wonder that is children's consignment sales! I started out by shopping at them after I had my daughter 3 years ago and just this year have started selling at them!Shopping at consignment sales is an excellent way to save money by buying gently used clothing/toys/equipment and even maternity clothing. Generally you will find anything and everything baby/kid or mommy at this sale and at a fraction of what the retail price is! The clothing is mostly brand name and sometimes is even new with tags! My favorite part of consignment sales is the last day 50% off sale where most items have been discounted even further!
Selling at a children's consignment sale is a great way to clear out the extra clutter in your home and make a little extra cash to boot! The best part is that you set your own prices on your items and you keep 65% of everything that sells! You can choose to donate what is left after the sale or pick up your pre-sorted items after the sale is over! At the last sale I participated in I got a check in the mail for $155 2 weeks after the sale!

I am a consigner and shopper! With 4 kids: toddler to pre-teen I am so happy to be able to re-sell items while picking up new bargins in the process! I love stocking up on the next size up items for my kids. Easy shopping in one day with so many fablous deals to be had. The JBF sales are fantastic, prices are reasonable and the quailty is great since items are inspected. Bring lots of bags, you'll need them!

I'm a first-time consigner. Just found out the JBF sale from a friend about a couple of months ago. Wish have known about this sale earlier as i would have certainly participated if i had. My kids are pre-teens nows so I'm looking for mostly teen size clothes. The kids are finally letting go of their kids toys so it's a great time for me to sell them!!
