What is a consignment Sale?
A family consignment sale is a smart way for you to clean out your closets and cash in!  Everyone has items that your family has outgrown or long longer needs or uses but most people don’t have time to plan and sit at a yard sale.  Consigning at a consignment event has many advantages over yard sales, and traditional consignment stores.  You do not sit with your items at a consignment sale.  You price and tag your items and bring them to us.  We sell items on your behalf and handle everything from the venue, advertising, merchandising, setting up displays and clean up.  Unlike a consignment store, you set your own prices and we sell your items in 1 day instead of a full season. 

As a shopper it’s a great opportunity to buy excellent quality children’s clothing, toys, house wares, décor, tools, lawn and garden, jewelry, sports, furniture, electronics, and much more at amazing prices. We offer high quality items because we inspect every single item for quality before it is put out on the sales floor.  Everything is neatly organized for easy shopping. 

Why is the Whatcha Got Sale different from other consignment sales?
For consignors our biggest difference is we’re the only ones to expand into all aspects of the family just not kids.  Also we help our consignors every step of the way.  We are a phone call away with your questions, at check in we help carry your items in, help the inspection process go quickly, then help put your items out on the floor into the right department.  We know you are busy and every minute we can help you save we will.  We have your inventory list so you know what you brought, sold, and took home with you so there’s no question about missing items. We accept from our shopper’s cash and credit cards for their purchases. 

For shoppers our biggest advantage is organization.  Everything is separated by gender, size, age group, and room in the house and checked for cleanliness and working order.  We have large bags to help you hold your items leaving your hands free. We then have a holding area to place your items so you don’t have to lug them around the sale.  We accept both cash and credit card.  We help take your items to the car.  We have various home shopping vendors for those items that you can’t find anywhere else.  Another big advantage is we allow umbrella strollers!!           

What method of payment will you accept?
We will accept cash, Visa and MasterCard.
