Hi-
Does anyone have any experience with selling items at consignment sales for baby items. I have seen a few that will be going through March. It looks like a lot of work, but it may be worth it, I am just looking at another option besides garage sales or ebay.
Thank You for any input.

What can I do next?

I do the Just Between Friends sale and I love it!! If you consign you get to go to the pre-sale before it's open to the public and there are some BARGAINS!! I did the one at Will Rogers and there's also one in Arlington, I beleive. It's a little tedious to go through it the first time but once you do and get the hang of it, it's easy. If you have any questions you can ask me or their website is: http://swfortworth.jbfsale.com/

I also did a newer one (I think this was their first time) a couple weekends ago in Keller that turned out alright. The weather was AWFUL that weekend (ice and snow!) but I ended up making alot more than I thought I did (5 times more, to be exact!!). They're having another one in June with the location to be determined. Their website is: www.newtoyouconsign.com

And once you do one, they're all pretty much the same as far as merchandise prep goes, you just have to check with the sale to be sure.

Hi Brandi!

I would suggest going to Once Upon A Child. They have several locations in Arlington,Carrollton,Flower Mound,Fort Worth,Garland,Grapevine,Mesquite and Plano. There website is Onceuponachild.com. They are pretty picky which is great because you know when you buy clothes from this store that you are getting something in like new condition! They pay very good for your items and they even offer you more if you decide to choose store credit instead of cash. There prices are very reasonable on the clothing they sell, better than any other resale shop ive been to! They also have a sister store called Platos closet which sells hip,styles for teens and young women. They also pay cash for the items you bring in. They are also very picky about what they buy. The items they sell have to be name brand with no stains or rips. I know Im going on and on (LOL) but these stores have really been very helpful to me with clothing 3 little girls it has saved me alot of money! Hope this helps!

Hi, you should try www.frimp.net. You can list as many items as you want, and it's free. The site is focused on local exchanges, but you can sell stuff nationally, too. Hope this helps!

Brandie,

My name is J. Morrison. I am the co-owner of the Just Between Friends in Fort Worth. We would love for you to join us - our sale is just a few days away. As has been mentioned before now, our website is www.jbfsale.com/fortworth. This will be our 8th sale and we are the biggest sale in Tarrant County. We are fortunate to be in a great facility like Will Rogers Memorial Center - easy to get to and no charge for parking. We hope you can join us.

As was mentioned, getting your items ready sometimes can seem a little tedious and certainly overwhelming the first time you work on it. I think once you get in the swing of it all, you will see how fast it goes - and you can DEFINITELY make more money at JBF than you can at a garage sale or at places like Kid to Kid where they don't take a lot of your good items and don't pay you enough. Of course, those stores have the high overhead that sales events like JBF don't have, so they just cannot afford to pay you what you can make at a sale.

There are a lot of great sales in the area, and we'd love to have you at ours, but if you cannot make it to our sale, be sure to check out the other sales - I think you'll be glad you did!
