    I don't know if these are something peculiar to this region of the country, but there are several local bi-annual consignment sales, mainly selling kids' clothes and toys. At the one where I consign, you earn 65% normally or 70% if you work as a volunteer for three 8 hours shifts. I like it...

    What would you pay for jeans at a consignment store in your area? I need nice ones for work (mine are getting thin & faded). I do consider brands when I buy & will pay more for some (like new condition & good brand). I'm seeing prices $8 to $12. What do you think? I've been searching for jeans...

    I have lots of extra baby stuff that I'd like to sell but my past experiences with consignment stores have been less than satisfactory. One place didn't sell anything--and the stuff was nice! And another place was just downright rude; I felt like a scrap collector trying to beg a few bucks. Are...

    to drop off some of Gripey's suits and suit shirts and a few items that I had bought at the thrift store for resale. The lady said "want me to see if you have any money yet?" and I said "sure". She did and I had $7.50 waiting on me. I guess it's been about 10 days since I took my first load over...

    You all know that Gripey and I have been living a lifestyle change for almost a year now, right? Well to date, he's lost 71 pounds and I've lost 65 (as of this morning---woo hoo!). You can imagine that we've had to start buying all new clothes from the ground up. Gosh this is expensive! I mean...

    My co-worker just told me about this place, I guess they have some excellent clearance sales on clothing. I haven't checked it out personally, although there is one near me I'll probably scope out this weekend. http://www.childrensorchard.com/home.cfm

    My friend has a kids consignment sale every spring and fall. I went this morning, and though I spent $111 I got some great stuff! For Katie: An absolutely gorgeous white lace Rose Cottage dress - it has that kind of shawl shoulder and the pointy princess waist. Can't wait to see how she looks...

    Yesterday I took some clothes to the new consignment shop in town and she said that if/when they sell, I get 50% and she'll cut me a check. The owner is friends with my father-in-law, so I know I'm in good hands. I think that I'm going to re-go through our closets and see if I can't find...
