Lots of goodies but get there early! Good stuff sells fast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-been-to-a-local-kids-consignment-sale-worth-going#post-1145806 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 14:42:56 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 1145806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uhm, yes! They are seriously awesome! When I was pregnant with DD I got $600+ worth of stuff for just under $200. This last time I spent $75 and got a ton of clothes, toys and a new, really nice highchair for $35. Honestly, I avoid buying some things until after I go to one just because of how cheap I can get stuff that is like new. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-been-to-a-local-kids-consignment-sale-worth-going#post-1145801 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 14:38:58 +0000 mrsbookworm 1145801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to one yesterday and got a new Ergo for $50. I also bought some toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-been-to-a-local-kids-consignment-sale-worth-going#post-1145785 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 14:30:40 +0000 rattles 1145785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with getting there early. We got a $100 hook and ladder ride on toy for $5 and a brand new Maya wrap with the packaging also for $5, but I wasn't all that impressed with the clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-been-to-a-local-kids-consignment-sale-worth-going#post-1145764 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 14:19:12 +0000 MamaBehr 1145764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you are looking for specific gear, and you know how much it costs if you buy it new, then yes. You can find good deals. But, I have always been underwhelmed with clothes. I find that if I wait for Carter's or The Gap to have a great sale I can get clothing for the same prices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-been-to-a-local-kids-consignment-sale-worth-going#post-1145717 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 14:04:19 +0000 Springtime 1145717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to one and was not impressed, but I went a few days after it started. I think you have to get there early and be one of the first ones in to get the good stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-been-to-a-local-kids-consignment-sale-worth-going#post-1145714 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 14:02:31 +0000 ShootingStar 1145714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been to a couple and had good luck. If you want gear, you definitely need to go early though. Like, waiting on line for them to open early. And have a price point in mind, because sometimes it's so crazy in there and people are grabbing things and you see something you want, just kind of get it. I did that with a jumperoo and probably paid a little bit more for it than I needed to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-been-to-a-local-kids-consignment-sale-worth-going#post-1145541 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 13:02:38 +0000 purrpletulips 1145541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to one and wasn't thrilled but then I was looking for clothes and not gear. I found that the clothes were priced higher than I really wanted to pay for "used" clothing and that many of them had spots/stains. I would rather go to the local resale shops because their prices were better and they screen cloths for stains and/or problems (like loose stitching). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-been-to-a-local-kids-consignment-sale-worth-going#post-1145534 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 12:59:58 +0000 Smurfette 1145534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!! You can get great deals on clothes. I missed a huge local one in August. But will be going in February to stock up on spring/summer clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-been-to-a-local-kids-consignment-sale-worth-going#post-1145517 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 12:55:25 +0000 kjpugs 1145517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I've had major success! Especially with clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-been-to-a-local-kids-consignment-sale-worth-going#post-1145510 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 12:52:03 +0000 pinkb 1145510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I have gone to one a couple times and just recently participated in one to get rid of some stuff. I like them! The earlier you can go the better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-been-to-a-local-kids-consignment-sale-worth-going#post-1145492 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 12:45:07 +0000 blackbird 1145492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES. i went to one a couple weekends ago and spent $300 and got a RIDICULOUS amount of awesome stuff. It was huge!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-been-to-a-local-kids-consignment-sale-worth-going#post-1145483 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 12:42:50 +0000 MCD919 1145483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone ever been to one of these and did you find anything good? I found 2 sales this weekend in my area (clothes, toys, gear, furniture, maternity)... wondering if I should check it out or not. I saw one advertised on craigslist, then I found this website where you can search sales: <a href="http://consignmentmommies.com/" rel="nofollow">http://consignmentmommies.com/</a> </p>
