What is a consignment sale?  

At our sale, the sellers tag and price their items (they determine the price)  and bring them to us to sell for them.   Generally, prices are about 20-40% of what the item cost when it was new.  The seller then receives 70% of the selling price of their items less a $10.00 fee.  Kidsignments retains 30% and a one time per event charge of $10.00 to assist with rent, heat/air, mailings/postage, advertising and the many other addtional costs associated with this very large event.  Most of our sellers sell 80-90% or more of the items that they bring to us!  Anyone can sell with us, but they have to be pre-registered to participate. We even have a few sellers that plan trips to Atlanta from out of state in order to participate in the sale! 

Remember that last garage sale? Did it rain? Was it hot or freezing cold? Did you haggle only to 'give away' your name brands for less than a dollar? Did you sit outside for a day or two? Did you feel uncomfortable with all the people coming to your home? 

Kidsignments saves you the hassle and allows you to sell your items for more than you would normally get at a garage sale.   Items that are consigned that do not sell can be picked up at the designated pick up time or donated to charity.  The local charity we donate to (Lilburn Co-op)  is very appreciative or each item that they receive.  We have recently been told that they have come to depend on this event to help resupply their supply of children items.   Receipts for donated items can be obtained directly from them.
