Now it’s time to find all those items that need to get OUTTA your house, and get them prepped and ready to price and tag!
Each Consignor must bring a minimum of 10 items ($2 minimum per item) in order to take part in our Consignor perks. We know it won’t be hard to go through your kids closets and other areas of the house. If it is kid-related, and it is either new or gently used or in good shape, then you can sell it!
Here’s just a few places you can visit to find items to sell:
Playroom
Garage
Closets
Couch cushions/under the couch
your car :)
Outside (for those play house plastics!)
Toy bins
Sports bags
Bookcase/living room
Kitchen cupboards
