Earn Money Consigning Children’s Items

Earn Money Consigning Children’s Items
by: David C. DuPont


Children clothing, toys, children furniture, etc. is expensive and often
under used. A great way to earn extra money is to consign your children’s
new & gently used furniture, clothing, toys, books, sporting equipment,
DVD’s etc. Consignment shops and consignment events will sell your
child’s items for you and you will almost always make more money than you
would selling your child’s equipment, child’s clothing & toys in a yard
sale.

Consigning is easy. All you have to do is clean house!!

You will be amazed at the quantity of unused and outgrown toys, children
clothes, children shoes, etc. you will find in your closet! Once you have
gathered your child’s gently used clothes, toys, etc together, inspect
them for wear, tear, stains, etc. Resale shops & resale event only take
items that are in great shape. All electronics will need to work and must
include operational batteries. Remember: Only sell items that you would
purchase.

Children’s consignment shops will inspect, price and sell children’s
furniture, shoes, toys, equipment, sporting goods, accessories, etc. They
will usually keep your money on your account and will mail a check only
when requested. Typical children’s consignment shops will keep 50% to 80%
of the sale and if your items do not sell within 90 days they become
property of the consignment shop.

Children’s consignment events operate like a consignment shop but
consignment events only last 2 to 14 days and often have a whole lot more
consignors and items. You prepare your child’s items, tag them & you name
your own price. You make 60% to 80% of your sales and a check is either
presented the last day of the sale or your check is mailed within 2 weeks
of the end of the sale. Unclaimed items are usually donated to a charity.

Due to our economic climate, more and more parents are discovering
consignment. Consignment shops are expanding and consignment events are
popping up all over the country. Consigning your child’s unused or gently
used clothing, toys, shoes, etc is a great way to earn lots of money! To
find a child’s consignment shop or children’s resale event near you do an
internet search….you’ll be surprised at how many consignment shops are in
your area! You’ll also be surprised at how easy it is to make money
consigning. All you need to do is to prepare your items (clean them and
visually inspect for wear, tears, stains, etc) and consign. Happy
consigning!!

About The Author
I’m Buffy the Bargain Queen and I have always had the “bargain
bug”.During a recent visit to my sister,Stephanie, I learned about resale
events.When I came home I looked for a children’s resale event in Houston
but did not find one.I decided to create my own event!I think that this
will be the best sale in Texas because between my husband (David the
Safety Step Stool Guy) and I, we bring years of marketing & business
experience.
