• What exactly is a kids consignment sale? Just4Kids is not a year ’round storefront. A few times a year we rent out a large space and host a sale of gently used and new kids items that are consigned through us by parents like you. Our sales are typically in March, August, and November.

• How does the sale work? Parents register to consign through the website. Once registered you will receive a consignor number which will allow you to log onto your consignor homepage. Through your homepage you enter all of the items you will be selling into our easy to use system. This will generate bar coded tags which you place on all of your items. On set-up day you bring all of your items to the sale to be placed around the sales floor. That’s it. Each night of the sale your homepage will be updated so you can check on how your items are selling. You do not need to be present during the sale.

• Can I consign in both the March AND April sales? We ask that you please choose one weekend only, so everyone will have an opportunity to consign. Once we are closer to the March sale, if there is space, we will open registration to people who would like to do both sales.

• When is the latest I can register for the sale? Registration for our sales is set to close the Sunday before the sale, unless we reach our capacity before that time (which we have our past few sales). If you are planning on participating, we suggest you register as soon as registration opens, as we have been filling earlier and earlier each sale. Make sure you are on our mailing list so you will get notification as soon as registration opens.
  

• When do all of my items need to be into the tagging system by?  The tagging system will lock at 9pm, on the Sunday before drop-off. This is the time that all of your inventory must be entered into the system. You will not be able to make any additions or edits to your inventory after that time. You can still print any tags in the system after this shut down time.
  

• How much can I bring to the sale? There is a limit of 100 hanging pieces of kids clothing, which includes only 25 hangers of Newborn through 12 months, 10 pieces of maternity clothes (please make sure they are current styles), and 10 pairs of shoes per consignor. There is no limit to other items you can bring to the sale.

• Does all clothing have to be hanging? Hanging clothes sell better. People want to be able to fully inspect the items they are buying. There will be basket space for onsies in bags and sleepers in bags in sizes from newborn through 12 months only, but if you haven’t reached your 100 hanging item limit you should try to put as much as possible on hangers.

• What can I sell at the sale? Anything kid related that is in good working condition, isn’t stained or ripped, and isn’t subject to a recall.

• How much will I earn at the sale? Consignors earn 60% of the prices that they set for their items, with the opportunity to earn up to 80% if they register to volunteer. Checks are generally mailed about a week  following the sale.

• What items sell best? Toys, books, and baby gear are in high demand, as well as clothing sizes 12 months through 6.  We do sell plenty of clothes in other sizes, these are just our best selling sizes.

• What can I do to be a more successful consignor? Like anything, the more you put into it, the more you get out of it.  It may take more time to make sure your clothing is stain free and wrinkle free, or that your toys are all clean and working, but well presented items are much more likely to sell.  The key to success is starting early. When you go through the closets at the end of a season start a box of things for the next sale. Whenever you come across something you can’t use anymore that is still in good shape, add it to the box. Once registration opens you’ll be able to start entering your inventory early, instead of rushing at the last minute and then forgetting things.

• Do I need to provide my own hangers? Yes, you do. I suggest using the cheap plastic ones you get when you buy kids clothes. Start asking other moms you know if they have any (if you haven’t already convinced them to consign). I know some people have had success getting hangers from retail clothing stores, it just seems to be a matter of who you ask and how generous they’re feeling at the time.  Hangers can also be found at the dollar store, Target, and WalMart.

• Will I get my hangers back? We do remove as many hangers as possible during the sale so we can offer them back to our consignors after the sale.  Hangers will be available at pick-up on a first come first served basis.

• What happens to my unsold items? While entering your items into inventory you have the option of marking them for donation or not. Items not marked for donation will be sorted by consignor number at the end of the sale and can be picked up during the designated pick-up times.  Items marked for donation become the property of Just4Kids, to be distributed to charitable organizations at our discretion.  In the past our sale has made donations to Goodwill, Fox Chase Cancer Center, Camden County Center for Family Services, and Durand Academy and Services.

• Do I have to mark my items as discounted on 1/2 price Sunday? Absolutely not. The pricing of your items is completely up to you. We sell many, many items on full price days that are marked to be discounted on Sunday. Just because you mark things to be discounted doesn’t mean they won’t sell at full price. The key to selling at full price instead of 1/2 price is setting a good full price. If you are planning to mark your items for donation, you should also mark them to go 1/2 price. Getting 1/2 price is better than getting nothing, right?
  

• How should I price my items? The most important thing to remember is to not price with your emotions.  If something has a lot of sentiment to you, consider holding onto it.  We suggest pricing items 1/4 – 1/3 of their retail price.  If they are new, boutique, or in excellent condition they may sell for more.  Hot tip: If you have an item you plan to discount, consider lowering the full price just a bit to make it a great deal at full price.  Instead of pricing it at $10 and being willing to accept $5 on 1/2 price day, mark it for $8 if you think that’s a great bargain price, therefore giving yourself a much better chance of selling it at full price.

• How can I shop the sale early? Only consignors and volunteers shop the sale before it opens to the public. We do offer limited opportunities for the general public to donate snacks for our volunteers in exchange for a pre-sale pass, so please make sure you are on our mailing list so you can get an email when this opportunity is offered. These spots do fill quickly.
  

• Can I volunteer without consigning? No, only consignors can volunteer.

• What forms of payment do you accept? We accept CASH, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and Visa/MC based Debit cards. We do not accept personal checks.
