Shop > Frequently Asked Questions

What is a children’s seasonal consignment sale?

Simply put, it’s a mother’s gold mine.  Our events are held several times a year.  The sales last for just a few days and offer thousands of new and gently-used children’s items at a fraction of retail.

What is the difference between a consignment sale and a garage sale or resale shop?

This sale is NOT a garage sale.  It is NOT a thrift sale.  We carefully inspect every item that arrives at our sale to ensure that everything is clean, without stains, meets current styles, and is in working order.  All items are organized so that it is easy to shop and find the sizes and types of items you are looking for.  There will be no digging in boxes and no tables of messy clothing.  Clothing is all hung up and organized by size.  Toys are grouped with like items and furniture will be assembled and paired with their matching items.

How do I carry all my great finds while I am shopping?

We will provide large shopping totes for your convenience.  We do NOT have shopping carts nor will we allow you to create a “pile”.  We WILL place “hold” tags on any larger items.

How can I shop early?

Consignors receive one preview sale pass for the evening before the public sale begins.  If you would like to shop even earlier, volunteer for at least four hours.  Those individuals who volunteer for eight hours will be the first to shop.  All volunteers will be allowed to shop before the public sale and before the consignors.

Sneak Peek Pre-Sale tickets are also available for purchase.
