Tipsy Tuesday - Why Consign
It's Tipsy Tuesday! Most of the kids are back in school and I hope everyone had an amazing holiday break! Now it's time for many of us to get into the swing of things and register to consign at one of our Spring Sales!
Consignors sell their items for a number of different reasons...here are a few of them and if you were on the fence, maybe one of them will convince you to give it a try if you haven't done it before:
1. Earn some spending money - My guess would be that the number one reason why families consigns is to make $$. We spend a lot on our kids including school, activities, clothing, toys, food, etc. So why not try to get a little of that money back on items that are in great shape? Consignor checks vary from as small as $10 to as high as $1500!!
2. Clean out their basements, closets, etc. - Kids toys and clothing takes up a TON of space...doesn't it always feel so great when you can purge and clean out your house of items you no longer use? Consigning is a great way to get paid for cleaning!! :)
3. Recycling - So many of the kid toys on the market are made of plastic and it would feel so strange to just throw a toy away...what a waste!! Consigning is an excellent way to recycle your unwanted toys, clothing, equipment and more!
Why do you consign? Please share your reasons with other moms!
