Kids consignment sale

Consignments are simply where you put your items up for sale and the seller keeps a portion of the profits from the sale. The better condition, brand etc your items, the better they sell. Here We Grow Again is having one in Blue Springs April 11th-14th at the Sports City complex. They have several sale locaitons and dates in Kansas, Missouri & Texas, with most of the sales being every 6 months.
If you are looking to purchase kids clothes on a small budget, here are a few tips:
  • Contact the consignment sale organizer to see if you can still get your stuff in the sale. This is a good time to clean out those closets of fall/winter clothing that the kids no longer fit into. Make sure your stuff is clean and serviceable, then hang them on metal hangers and tag them.
  • Consider volunteering to work durring the set up or tear down of the sale. Typically you receive ~$10 credit to spend durring the sale for every 3 hours of volunteering.
  • If you are a consigner and/or volunteer you will be able to get into the sale sooner than the public. This makes it easier to get what you want from the sale.
  • There is typically an time towards the end of the sale that items go 50% off the ticket price. This is a great time to swipe up those items that were marked with a higher than normal selling price at the beginning of the sale.
