"Wanted to let you know how satisfied I was as a seller. This was my first sale as a seller and I thought I would try it out and see how it worked. My goal was to make enough money to be able to purchase clothing to get my youngest son through the season. Wow, was I surprised when I made that plus extra!"
"I was so impressed by how organized everything was. I came at a very busy time during drop-offs, and was very pleased when I was in and out within minutes. Again, picking up my check and leftover items took no more than 5 minutes. By the way, we estimated that we had brought 90 items and only picked up 4 yesterday. Yeah!!!"
"I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the Kids Sale. This was my first year participating as a consignor and it was a great experience. You all have done a wonderful thing for our community. I was totally amazed at how organized the sale was. Keep up the great work. We're looking forward to the spring, already!"
“Just wanted to let you guys know how much my family and I appreciate all the hard work you guys to in order to bring the consignment sale here. This was the first year that I both consigned and helped and it was a wonderful experience! Everyone was so nice and helpful. ALL of my items sold!!!!"
"Just looked up my earnings from the sale - $596.95 after fees were taken out!!"
"Only a few items left to pick up! So much more than I could have ever made putting on a yard sale, and all I had to do was get it ready and bring it in, not sit in the heat (or rain) for 2-3 days. ;-) Bonus, I got to shop quality merchandise at a huge discount!"
"Shopping the sale is something I look forward to every fall and spring. I think the sale is extremely efficient and organized. I think you do a great job of communicating with the consignors!! I can't wait for the spring sale. I already have my mental list of things I hope to buy. :)"
"Love the sale. I've participated twice a year for the last 5 1/2 years and have pretty much broken even every time. What a blessing. Thanks for all the good work."
