Those boogers grow out of EVERYTHING so fast – it’s amazing!
@jesse.anne.o – A totally different world out there :) I miss thrift shopping in NYC though, I still have my killer Italian dress shoes from one!

We have so many thrift stores and free piles and re-sale shops that I can’t think of anyone who would take non-designer non-luxury stuff. (Unfortunately!)

But with a baby in the house (who grows an inch per day, I swear), I’m sure I’ll be jumping on the consigning wagon soon!

@Pauline – I know, I hate that it’s 50% but totally not worth my time :( That and I like window shopping while there and getting out of the house! :)
@Call Me What You Want Even Cheap – Maybe I can pay someone else to do it for me, at like 25%, and then make 75% profit? Haha… that might work ;)
@Lance @ Money Life and More – Yeah, those are totally rented out booths – and are usually more upscale and incredibly boring. At least to me ;) I like stuff constantly moving in and out and not priced as if they’re stuff came off the Titanic!
@Angie Nelson – Yeah! What’s going on over there? ;) Do you want me to give you a homework assignment?
@Mrs. Pop @ Planting Our Pennies – A car??? Now that’s a first! Haha… although I shouldn’t be laughing as my mom once found one at a yard sale – my dad was pretty shocked (“What did you find this morning, honey?”… “Oh, a car.”)
@Heather Stephens – Oh wowwww that’s an excellent idea! Totally booking that to give it a shot later – these kids outgrow EVERYTHING, my word… I can’t believe you asked me if I knew you this weekend too, you turd :) I don’t think I could forget our talks last year even if I tried! Haha… if you know what I’m saying ;)
@MJYU – I’ll email ya :)
@Amanda Talbert – What??? Facebook??? You guys are geniuses!! Can you come here and set them up for us? :) I suck at Facebook! Man… that really is awesome. Good for you guys. And for working at a consignmnent shop too – I’m totally jealous.
@Joe @ Retire By 40 – Yeah man, you too!! VERY cool indeed – you were one of the ones I was really looking forward to meeting :) Next time we’ll have to chat a bit more too, I know things were kinda crazy there this weekend.
@LB – Yeah, I’m not fans of those unless a) you get tons of foot traffic in, and b) you can sell stuff other than things that are 300 years old. I’d never fill a booth in those places!
@Mistress Susan – Oooooooh now that’s a good idea! I hadn’t even thought of (or heard of?) high-end consignment stuff like that before, but you’re right – the higher the $$ the better the return! Esp if it’s not 50% :( I’ll have to see if there’s others in our area as well, but for now it’s a good way to test the waters and see how the whole system works. Been having a blast so far.
@Angella – Nicely played! I once bought a dryer on CL too – a 1 year old one cuz the person sellin was a richie rich and needed a new one for her mansion or something, haha… I got it for like 90% off! :)
@Jenna, Adaptu Community Manager – If only I could negotiate :(
@Jacob @ iheartbudgets – Love it! And super smart too – our kiddo is already up into 6 month’ers and he’s only 2 months old!! “They grow up so fast!” Haha…
@Brent Pittman, J C, and shey – All three of you thought I said “Cosign”?? That’s hilarious! And an entirely different post, haha… I’m glad you guys were wrong ;)

even though 50% is a lot, thats a pretty sweet deal.

We have an 8-month old, and as he grows out of clothes, or if we get clothes we just don’t like, she goes there, gets credit and buys him new (used) ones. We haven’t had to pay much for baby clothes over the last 8 months due to this strategy. We also do this with her clothes anytime she wants something different.

I’ve definitely sold clothes via consignment before. I should call and see how much money I’ve made so far…

Most the ones around here at 40/60, but they usually only take antiques. Years ago (as in my high school days lol) I use to hit up yard sales and thrift stores and resell the goodies on ebay. I made a ton of money!! You know, because before ebay changed everything it started out as, you actually had a shot at making some money. I’m all about some cheapcycle and craigslist these days. I think if you handle selling it yourself, you’d make a lot more money, just comes down to what/where, the time you have and marketing! I sold our washer/dryer set for enough money to buy a brand new set and still have $75 leftover!
