On your mark. Get set.....

Start TAGGING!!!! Yes it is once again that time of year when people all over the area (and even some from far away) drag out all their kids out grown clothes, shoes, and toys to get them ready to sell in local consignment sales. With the economy being what it is this year I'm guessing that it will be a GREAT year for consignment sales as people are looking for ways to stretch their dollar as well as make some extra money.

As I've mentioned before I help my friend Brea at her sale, which I truly believe is the BEST sale, Encores and More North. This year the sale is going to be located next to Old Navy in Rivergate in the old Goody's building...seriously people you are not going to believe how BIG this sale is. The dates for the sale are March 7-14 with drop off being Feb 28-March 4, the worker sale on March 5 and consignor/friend/new mom sale in March 6. Also be sure to check out the *NEW* Tagging program it will make tagging a breeze for you as well as cutting down some of the waiting time at drop off.

So you would really like to get rid of some of that stuff taking up room in the attic but don't really feel like doing all the tagging? GREAT!! Check out the VIP link to see how you can have it all done for you, all you have to do is get your stuff together, make sure everything follows the guildline for what is accepted , and schedule a pick up. Voila! Your check will be mailed to you on March 17!! (you will be responsible for picking up any unsold items on March 15 if you chose that option)

The other links to check out are the worker and bartering links. If you have ever been to one of the sales on consignor night you know that it can be a little overwhelming. By working and/or bartering you can shop a day early as well as avoid the long lines...not to mention a $50 credit if you do 3 shifts!!

I'm telling you I am so excited about this sale AND the location I can hardly contain myself :) I hope to see you there!

*******on a side note I would love to urge you to consider donating any of your unsold items. As stated earlier we all know that economic times are hard for many families and finding clothes at reasonable prices, even consignment at times, can put a strain on budgets. If you go here you can see a list of the charities to which Encores and More North donates items.
