Do Consignment Sales Work?

Of course, consignment sales work! Family Consignment Sales give familys the opportunity to sell new and gently used clothing, toys, books, baby & sports equipment, furniture and more at a fair price and make some extra cash! We are talking big cash sometimes - some consignors earn checks in excess of $500 in just a weekend! It all depends on how many items a moms brings, the quality of the items, the diversity of the items, and the price the mom wants for the item.

The Consignment Sale Organizer finds the venue, the volunteers and consignors, advertise and market the event to shoppers! If done correctly, the sale will be a HUGE success and everyone wins! Moms sell their items while other moms find amazing bargains that they just can't pass up! A consignment sale is better than a store for the main fact that they get tons of shoppers over a weekend instead of dribbles all month long! There is also a sense of urgency at these consignment sales as there may be only 20 strollers for sale but 1000 shoppers! That is good for business of course!

Consignment sales are run like a store where all items are sorted by size and gender with other like things together. Shoppers can look over all strollers for example and choose the best one for them - best condition, best price etc. Checkout occurs at one time for all items and most sales accept Visa/Mastercard/Discover these days to make buying even easier!

In these days where business are failing, consignment sales are growing! Why give away your like new items when you can get some easy cash for them! Who couldn't use a few extra dollars these days? Plus, you will be helping moms save on things they really need for their kids. You'd even be surprised at how many items you will find at these sales that are NEW with tags!
