I found the best sale this past weekend in Hawaii called Mommy Swap Meet. I'm from the mainland and LOVE these type of sale. The army moved us out here and I was so sad that there were no consignment events. 1 1/2 years later and FINALLY Hawai'i gets their 1st children's consignment event!! I feel normal again. Needless to say I was one of the first in line (because I volunteered as a Street Team Member). I not only found so many items in great condition but I found brand named items with tags STILL ON THEM!! I bought a NWT dress from Baby Gap for $5!! I know alot of consignment events do not accept used breastpumps but, thank goodness this one did. I'm about to have another baby and found a Madela pump there in perfect condition with all the accessories (unopened) for $100. Sweet!! Another thing I loved was the Mommy community that came out for the Mommy Swap Meet. I met a mom who ended up being from my neck of the woods with a son the same age as my daughter. We have a play date now. :0) I'm so excited for the next sale. I guess since there are no real seasons in Hawaii I couldn't call Mommy Swap Meet a seasonal sale. But, they are planning on having their events 3-4 times per year. The next sale is in October and I cannot wait!! Maybe me and my new mommy friend will go together. Oooo, I know I have stuff to sell. I just got to get organzied and find them. I'd love the extra cash to shop with!! That would be so fun. Thanks Mommy Swap Meet for bringing consignment events to Hawaii it's so long overdue.

I would recommend googling "seasonal consignment sales, (your state)" and see what you find. Good luck and much success to you.

You get to set your price! I do sell at my favorite local consignment sale that happens twice a year. Saving hangers all year is a must and I use cable ties to attach tags which are cheap at Wal-Mart. I found that using a very large and strong tote bag (Lands End, LLBean, etc) works better than a basket since the space is limited. I could move faster without having something like a stroller, wagon or basket to drag. Consignment stores are much different from the large consignment sales. You get to set your price!

They have a spring and fall sale by us. The last two sales I have made over $100 on my kids clothes -- but spent most on getting new stuff for my kids.

Craigslist is what I use to sell them. You are lucky to get more than $20 where I live for a huge pile of NEW clothes at a consignment shop let alone if they are ‘used’.
