Okay Ladies is anyone tired of paying high commission to the resale stores for our childrens clothes? I am, they want to pay you $2-5 for really nice outfits and they price them as they like. I have an idea. I know there are several nice consignment sales throughout the year. But it is time consuming and they still make 30% of what you sell. I was thinking about getting a group of us together that have really nice stuff that we want to sell and have our own consignment sale. We could choose a place, if someone has a large enough home or garage or something we could use, we could all bring things on a certain date, make sure they are washed and ironed and each have a table or bring a clothes holder, and sell our stuff to each other. That way, we make all the money on it and we can shop for ourselves at reasonable prices. If your like me, I tend to buy some of the higher end brands and they wear very well. Sometimes we only wear them once or a few times. I'd like to sell them and be able to buy my daughter a new Fall/Winter wardrobe without it costing an arm and a leg. Is anyone interested? Please let me know, I thought maybe sometime in October would be great. Please respond and let me know, I'll try and coordinate it and if anyone has a large space we can use, please let me know. Thanks so much, Look forwarding to hearing from you all!
Sincerely,
S. B.
Have you had the sale yet? I am interested. My daughter has some clothes I could stand to sell. And I wouldn't mind seeing if there is some I could get for her. Let me know. ____@____.com
I just got a box of clothes ready and was not looking forward to taking pics and such for Craigs list, this could work. Please let me know if you go through with it.
I might like to participate if you do this again in the future, I have a new little baby girl and she is already outgrowing some things! But for now I would be interested in shopping! :) Keep me posted....
Hi S., I think that is a great idea! As a matter of fact, my friend and I just got done with divine consign last week (as consigners) and made the same comment ourselves. What about a park in a central location that has some kind of covered space? I think they are free to rent or at least very cheap. I would be willing to help with the planning, brain storming or setting up. Let me know

Hi S.,
Currently I buy and sell most of my children's boutique and high end clothes on ebay. If you haven't tried it you should. sometimes I can make what I paid back. Please let me know if you do get a sale together! I'm so there! Celebration park sounds great!
Regards, J.

great idea - count me in! ____@____.com
great idea--except that I have sold my fall/winter stuff the consignment stores and given the rest away already. if you have it, let me know if you will have sizes 18m & 4T girls...thanks.
I'm definitely interested. I have my stuff in the Divine Consign Grapevine sale this week, but would love to do something else. I have twin girls - so have tons of 3T and 4T clothes. Let me know and I'm willing to help any way I can - don't have a big yard though - so no idea on the location. Thanks!

OMG, I had the same thoughts after doing Divine Consing last year. I would be interested and I have some ideas on planning. Most of the reponses have been about girl stuff... My problem is I have boy things and crave other boys items. I have some winter stuff b/c I didn't do consigment this year. I live in Frisco. Maybe we could do a small event (test) in October and plan for the first real event for spring? contact me. I work from home and can help plan, send emails, etc.

Sounds like a great idea! I would be interested in coming to shop. I am not ready to part with my baby girls things, until we have one more! Keep me posted on the date and location though!!
I'd be interested in participating. Email me at ____@____.com with details. Thanks! - G.
I might be interested as well. I have some baby stuff that I have been saving for a garages sale. It just depends on the date and details for me. My email address is ____@____.com
That sounds like a great idea. Count me in for next year, because I already had my garage sale. B. Cox
I'm in! ____@____.com
That is a wonderful idea! I would love to come shop as well. I unfortunately just sold/donated all of my little girl's winter wardrobe to Divine Consign. I am very interested in participating next year or next time you have it! Please keep us updated.
Thanks!

FANTASTIC idea! I have a huge tub of fall/winter clothes from ages 3-9 months, and the thought of getting $20 at a consignment store kills me! I like the idea of a park with a covered area - if it's a public park, I doubt there would be a fee. Would Celebration Park in Allen be convenient for anyone? I live in Murphy, so I suppose I'm biased by picking a park nearby. But, the park has a lot of fun stuff for the kids - it sould be a huge play date for the kids/swap date for the moms.

Let me know if I can help in anyway.
I'm not too sure about the space and time but I have some of my 12 yr olds barely worn Abercrombie ($48) jeans that I wm not willing to sell at a garage sell or consignment shop for $2. A couple of shirts still have tags on them because she bought out of season. Also have good shoes, coats and roller blades.
Let me know where you go, I will bring my stuff.

Great idea! I too tend to purchase higher quality clothes and my daughter only wears them once and some even still have the tags on them! Shame on me. I just bought new big girl furniture for her and now have a lifetime crib (crib/daybed/full bed) and dresser that is in excellent condition that I need to sell. If you pull something together and it includes furniture, please let me know.

I don't have the space but I would happily participate. If you are able to put it together please let me know. Thanks!

S.,
Count me in too. I don't have any suggestions as to where such an event could be held but I would love to be a part of it. I would love to help out with any of the planning as well. You can contact me at ____@____.com
Thanks,
M.
this is a great idea! Sometimes you can rent a space at a recreation park for a couple of hours for like $50...you could put a $5.00 per person fee to come and join in on the selling and buying to help pay for the spot.
I live in Garland and I know the recreation centers here do this...I'm not sure where you live but if you'd like I can check into the ones here.
You can email me at ____@____.com if you'd like some help on this
