SELLING FAQ
What is a children’s consignment sale?
A children’s consignment sale is a GREAT way for you to rid your home of the things your children have outgrown and earn some money. We are not a garage sale and you do not have be present during the sale to sell your items. You are consigning with us for two days (versus a season in a traditional store). We sell items on your behalf and handle everything from the venue & advertising to merchandising and shopper payments.
How can I register to become a consignor?

How much will I earn on my items?
You will earn 60% on all of your sold items, unless you volunteer for 1 shift and you will earn 65%, or work 2 shifts & earn 70%, on all of your sold items. We also offer a Shopper Refferal Incentive which can earn you up to 80%! Plus other incentives you can see details on our SHARE page.
Why should I consign rather than sell at a garage sale?
BECAUSE KIDS GROW offers many advantages over garage sales. First, we offer thousands of items in all different categories under one roof. A person would have to shop garage sales all year to find what they will at one of our events. Another advantage is quality. We inspect items prior to putting them on the sales floor. People know they will find quality, name-brand items at our sale. People are willing to pay a little more for quality, name-brand items they know they will find in excellent condition.
What can I consign?
You may sell just about anything baby or child related. Items include, but are not limited to, clothing, shoes, outerwear, dress up, toys, dance outfits, uniforms, books, videos/dvds, infant gear, outdoor play, bikes, infant furniture, maternity clothing/accessories and more. Refer to our ACCEPTABLE ITEMS page for specifics.
May I consign maternity clothing?
Yes. But we do have a limit to the number of items we will accept, no more than 10 peices per consignor. So pick your best and most "in style" items and price them to sell.
Is there a limit to the number of items I may consign?
No, but there is a 10 item limit to the number of maternity items consigned and a 10 item limit per size, per gender, of infant 0-24m. There is no limit to the number of other items you may consign. We reserve the right to limit the number of identical items if space becomes limited.
Are there items that you will NOT accept from consignors?
Yes. We will not accept items that we deem are not in very good to excellent condition. For specifics refer to our ACCEPTABLE ITEMS page.
How do I know what to price my items?
You must price each item for at least $2 and prices must increase in 50cent increments. We offer you some pricing suggestions on the website but as a general rule, you should price things 1/4 - 1/3 their original retail price. Popular or name brand items can be priced higher. You are the best judge, price an item for no more than you would be willing to pay for that same item.
Where can I find hangers?
Hangers can be found at most local children's clothing stores including the Dollar Store and WalMart. We have had a number of consignors that have also been successful with asking clothing stores for hangers. Another great source is FREECYCLE.NET or ask your friends who send out their husband's shirts out to cleaners.
Do I have to pick up my items after the sale?
No. You can choose to donate all or select items. However, we CANNOT store your items after the sale. If you would like your unsold items returned, you MUST pick them up at the designated pick up time. Any items that have not been picked up after the designated time become the property of BECAUSE KIDS GROW and may be donated and may incur a $10 penalty. Sorry, there are NO EXCEPTIONS to this as we must be out of the facility and cannot store your items.
When will I receive payment for my sold items?
Payments will be ready for pick-up or transfer within 2 weeks of the sale.
Can I get my tags back?
No. Our online tagging service will allow you to print reports of what you sold, for how much, what you donated etc.
What if I find that an item is missing?
We do our best to keep tabs on every item that comes through our doors. However we cannot be held responsible for items lost before, during or after the sale. The best defense against theft and loss is volunteers. The more help we have on the floor, the less opportunity for theft.
