 How is this different from the sales where you rent a table and sell your items? |
|
The Big Red Wagon Kid’s and Maternity Consignment Sale is very different! You register as a Seller, prepare your stuff, price it, tag it, drop it off, and wait for your check. THAT’S ALL THERE IS TO IT!!! You do not have to spend your time sitting at a table selling your items. There will be 1000’s of square feet of organized space with racks of hanging clothes, a toy area, baby area, maternity area, children’s furniture area, etc…much like you would see in a department store. |

There are 2 sales per year at each sale location…one in the spring and one in the fall. |

Can I bring my kids to the sale? |
|
With 6 kids between us, we understand that childcare can be difficult to find. You are welcome to bring your children; however, we do ask that they stay with you at all times and they do not play with the toys or in the clothing racks. Since this is a consignment sale, the items do not belong to us. Thank you in advance for you help and understanding. |
|
Can I bring my wagon or stroller to the sale? |
|
Yes. As you enter, there will be someone at the door tagging your wagon or stroller so it will not be confused with the ones for sale. However, please bring a laundry basket to place your items in while shopping. We want to make every effort to keep all merchandise clean since the items being sold do not belong to us. |
