Myths about Kids Consignment Sales?

It seems some moms still have questions about consignment sales! And some wouldn't dare be caught shopping there! Yes, it's hard to believe! Of course, once you shop a kids consignment sale, you will never want to shop retail again!

 
Here are the top 3 myths I hear over and over:

 
1. Consignment sales are just for babies and infants. Not all sales have all sizes for boys and girls but the Hanging Rack Upscale Family Consignment Sale offers sizes for both boys and girls, men and women through PLUS sizes. You will also find Junior sizes for girls and young men! You may be lucky enough to find many items that still have the tags on them!

2. Consignment sales are just glorified yard sales. A consignment sale is NOT a yard sale, garage sale or flea market for several reasons. There is NO negotiating at a consignment sale. The consignor sets the price and decides if they want to participate in 50% off day. You can see ALL the choices before making a purchase and pay for all purchases at one time like in a store. Items are usually inspected at drop-off for stains, rips, tears etc. Although some stained items do make it into the sale, the goal is to not have any on the floor. The Hanging Rack sale has a zero tolerance for stains of any size! Should it get through the initial inspection, we ask that any shopper who finds a stained items give it to a volunteer so it can be removed from the floor immediately.

3. Consignment Sales only have used items. Well, if you've had kids, you know that they grow so fast! Many consignors have items still with the tags on! We also have some super shoppers & Ebay sellers who offer brand new clothing and toys at 50-70%% off the retail price at the sales! You'd be surprised at how many Christmas presents, shower gifts, birthday presents you can buy at a Hanging Rack Upscale Consignment Sale!

 
I just know how amazed moms are once they've experienced a family consignment sale! And, new consignors are always welcome!
