Shop Kids Event is always looking for new consignors! If you are interested in consigning with us, please take a look at the detailed How This Works Consignor page.
You will earn 65% on all of your sold items (less an $9.00 administrative fee), more if you Volunteer to help.
3. Do I rent a booth or do I have to stay at the event with my items?
No. You bring your items to drop off during our drop off times and you do not have to come back unless you want to work as a volunteer, shop at the event or unless you would like to pick up your items after the event. Please see our drop off and pick up page for information on times.
4. Why should I consign my items with Shop Kids Event rather than a garage sale?
A common misconception people have is that they can make just as much money selling their kid's items at a garage sale rather than consigning them. Shop Kids Event offers two major advantages over garage sales. First, we offer hundreds of items in all different categories all under one roof. A person would have to shop garage sales all year to find what they will find at one of our events. The second advantage is quality. We inspect all items prior to putting them on the sales floor. People know they will find quality, name-brand items at our event. People are willing to pay a little more for quality, name-brand items they will know they will find in excellent condition all in one location.
Also, unlike a garage sale, you do not have to stay at the sale. You just prepare your items for the sale, drop them off during drop off time and we do the rest for you in a climate controlled environment. There is no negotiating on the prices; the price you mark on the item is the price you will receive. On the last day you have the option to mark your items 1/2 price if you choose. The price is set by you and is marked ahead of time when you prepare your items.
5. Is there a limit to the number of items I may consign?
No. There is no limit to the number of items you may consign. However, in order to qualify to be a consignor you will need to bring a minimum of 20 items. (Shoes are limited to 20 pairs per consignor and maternity iS limited to 20 pieces per consignor)
6. What items will you NOT accept from consignors?
We will not accept items that are not in very good to excellent condition. Clothing must be free from stains, tears, pulls and excessive wear. We will not be able to accept undergarments or stuffed animals with the exception of battery operated stuffed animals(i.e. Tickle Me Elmo). NO Car Seats over 3 years old. Any item that does not meet our strict criteria will be sent home from check-in. Stuffed animals must do something to be accepted.
7. May I consign maternity clothing?
Yes, It must be current styles and only 20 pieces per consignor.
8. How can I get a consignor number?
Shop Kids Event will assign you a unique consignor number. This is the number that should be used on all of your items. You need to register as a consignor and if you plan to consign at multiple sales please contact us so we can give you the same number for all sales.
Only if you want them back. Otherwise your items will be donated to a local charity. We will donate our unsold items and the items which are not picked up by the designated times after the sale. We do offer tax deduction receipts if requested.
11. When will I receive payment for my sold items?
Checks will be mailed within two weeks of the Shop Kids Event end to the address you provided at registration.
12. Will you provide me with a list of items that sold?
With your check you will receive a list of items sold. However, if you use handwritten tags or tags from another consignment sale you will only receive a print out of your total items sold and what that total came to.
13. What if I find that an item is missing?
We will do our best to keep tabs on every item that comes through our doors. However we cannot be held responsible for items lost or stolen before, during or after the event.
