Are there any consignment stores in Raleigh or surrounding areas that have baby gear, clothing and toys you can purchase.
My favorite in this area is:
Once Upon a Child

Cary and Apex have consignment shops called Kid to Kid. I've only been to the one in Cary once or twice, but I visit the one in Apex quite frequently, and they have a great variety of items, and the store is very clean. You can sign up for their emails to be notified of sales. The website is www.kidtokid.com.
Children's Orchard at Falls of the Neuse closed. There is another Children's Orchard in Cary. They have a good selection of really nice stuff.
www.childrensorchard.com for directions.
The one I like is called Children's Orchard - it's on Falls of Neuse between Spring Forest and Millbrook. You can sign up for sale alerts www.childrensorchard.com.
Also Kids Everywear consigment is a twice a year HUGE event at the airport mall - next event is March - INCREDIBLE deals - www.kidseverywear.com to register.
I don't know of anywhere in Raleigh, but there is a store called Once Upon A Child in Cary. I haven't been to this particular location (I just moved to Garner from Chicago, IL) but I have shopped (and sold) at several locations in Illinois and will be checking this one out soon. My son is seven and I've bought things for him from Once Upon A Child since he was a couple of months old.

A lot of consignment boutiques as well as other boutiques and handmade products will be on display at the Modern Baby Expo.

Upscale Resale in Cary is one. I have never been there before, but I have heard that people really like it. They are having some kind of 1/2 price sale in a few weeks that you might want to ask about.

For brand new unique clothing and high quality (safe) toys and accessories (for mom and baby/child) you can come on in to little tomo children's shoppe in downtown Apex.

I hope this helps!
I can honestly say, the consignment sales are amazing! I get the best gear, clothes and even toys that are barely touched for nothing!
Good luck. Oh, check www.craigslist.com too!
