HOW MUCH CAN YOU EARN?

All consignors earn 65% of their kids items that sell.

By volunteering for one 3 hour volunteer shift, consignors earn 70% of their sales and get to shop earlier at the pre-sale.  You can read more about volunteering on the Volunteering page.

WHAT HAPPENS TO MY UNSOLD ITEMS?

Any items that do not sell, consignors may take back.  If you do not want to take back your items, LA Kids Consignment will donate all or some of your unsold items to charity. 

HOW DO I BECOME A CONSIGNOR?

In order to consign, you need to register.  You can do that on the Consignor Registration page of this website.

Once you have paid your $12 registration fee, you will receive instructions on how to get your Consignor number and all the information you need to begin tagging your items.

WHY IS THERE A $12 REGISTRATION FEE?

Your registration fee helps cover the cost of the location rental, advertising, insurance, display racks, supplies, etc. 

HOW DO I TAG MY ITEMS?

Once you have received your Consignor #, you can begin tagging your items. You will receive detailed information upon registration telling you how to tag, hang, tape, etc. your items before bringing them to the sale.  Here are the top highlights:

  • All clothing must be washed and hung on wire hangers and sorted by size and gender before coming to the sale.
  • All toys requiring batteries must have batteries (we will check them at your drop-off appointment.
  • Any items that plug in will be checked at drop-off.
  • Each item must have a product information tag attached to it.  You will enter your items into the computer and print out bar-coded tags on 67lb paper at home.

LA Kids Consignment wants to ensure that all the products at the sale are clean and in working order.  Therefore, we have detailed instructions on how to prepare your items.  Before you decide to consign, we highly recommend you read more about tagging so you are familiar with the process.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILED TAGGING INSTRUCTIONS.

WHO SETS THE PRICES?

Each consignor chooses how they want to price their items.  We recommend pricing your items 30-50% of original retail.  That being said, the lower you price your items, the better they will sell.   You should think about what you would pay for the items if you were buying them.  I have developed a guideline for prices.  Please take it for what it is - a guideline.  You are welcome to set your own prices.  Click here to see Pricing Suggestions.

At the sale, there is no negotiating the prices - the price on your tag is what it will be sold for.  However, the last day of the sale is the 50% off sale day. It is up to you as the consignor to decide if you would like your items to be discounted on that day.  When making your product tags online, you may choose which, if any, items you would like to be discounted.

WHEN DO I BRING MY ITEMS TO THE SALE?

Upon registering, you will also be sent instructions on how to sign up for a drop-off appointment to bring your items to the sale.  Drop-off is typically the 2-3 days before the sale starts.  Drop-off should only take you about 15-30 minutes.  We will inspect all the items you bring to make sure there aren't any stains, rips, tears, and that all items are working.

WHAT OTHER CONSIGNOR BENEFITS ARE THERE?

As a consignor, you get to shop the private pre-sale!!!!  The pre-sale is the day before the public sale - so you get first pick of the merchandise!

All consignors get to come to the pre-sale, however, if you Volunteer, you get into the presale even earlier!  (This is in addition to getting an extra 5% of your sales!)  And, the more you volunteer, the earlier you get into the pre-sale!

WHAT HAPPENS TO UNSOLD ITEMS?

You must pick up any unsold items on Sunday evening after the sale is over.   If you do not want to or are not able to pick up your items on this evening, your items will be donated for you.  You must decide to donate or not to donate each item when making your product tags online.  LA Kids Consignment donates thousands of items to multiple charities at the end of the sale.

WHEN DO I GET PAID??

Through the awesome online tagging program, you will be able to see which of your items sold each night after the sale is over.  Consignor checks are mailed to you within 2 weeks after the sale. 

Sell your gently used kids items at LA Kids Consignment easily, quickly and get the most money!

Where can I get a tagging gun?
Consignors-  We require that you tag your clothing items with a tagging gun.  These can be found at Michaels, Joanne's and some Walmarts typically for $25+.  I've set up a special relationship with a vendor so that you can get a tagging gun with one needle and 1000 1.5" barbs for only $7.99 (including shipping!!!).  Information on how to purchase these tagging guns will be in your consignor information email sent to you after registration or just go to www.bargainprice4u.com.  Refill barbs and needles may be purchased too.

Kids are expensive!  Their stuff doesn't have to be!
