Why Should I Consign?

Children’s consignment sales are growing in popularity across the United States. In uncertain economic times, it is increasingly important for moms to earn back some of what they have spent while clothing their families. Unlike consignment stores, Posh Baby allows you to:

Set your own prices! Consignment stores pay pennies on the dollar and you have no control over what your items sell for. Posh Baby moms know what their items are worth and set their prices! We recommend 30% of full retail price as a starting point. Click here for pricing suggestions.
Earn 60-70% of all your sales (see volunteering page for complete details)
Decide whether or not you want your items to go half-price on Sunday
Donate items to charity that don’t sell (and use as tax-deduction write-off) or...
Pick up unsold items and try to resell the next time around.
Shop before the general public to snag the hottest deals!

Scanning = Efficiency and Accuracy

Scanning = Efficiency & Accuracy Posh Baby utilizes a scanning system that efficiently allows consignors to have a complete inventory of the items they are selling. Talk about sweet! During the sale, consignors can get online to monitor how well their items are selling. Talk about efficient! Scanning also eliminates 99% of human error in the checkout process, and means a much faster checkout for customers. Our sincere desire is to host an organized and efficient event that our consignors and shoppers are proud to be a part of.

Statistically, consignors can anticipate selling 65-70% of their items when they are priced fairly. If your pricing base is too high (or too low), your overall percentage of items sold will reflect this. Again, we have found that 30% of full retail price is the ideal starting point for pricing.

How Does It Work?

Sign-up: It's all online! New Consignor Registration or Returning Consignor Registration Deadline for signing up to consign or entering new items to sell is WEDNESDAY , SEPTEMBER 29, 2010 at NOON.
Prepare Your Items: Get your items ready. We've given you step by step instructions to make it as easy as possible on our Prepare Your Items page. Itemize your items by going to My Account then Work with Consigned Inventory. Be sure to print your tags on light colored or white cardstock at BEST PRINT QUALITY WITH A GOOD PRINTER; blurred barcodes run together and cannot be read by the delicate scanner interface!
Attach Your Tags: Tag your items as explained on our Prepare Your Items page.
Check-In: Bring in your items during your scheduled drop off time. If you plan to pick-up items that do not sell rather than donate them, bring a large, sturdy, plastic tote or laundry basket with your name and consignor number on it. No sacks please. Please write your name & number on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper and attach it with packaging tape. That's it! We organize, advertise, and run the event for you. As a cool bonus, you can watch your inventoried items selling online!
Check-Out: Pick up your items that do not sell or let us donate them to charity for you! Pick up is Sunday, October 10 at 6:30 pm SHARP. You will be given your tote with any unsold items. Go through your tote item by item, making sure nothing belonging to another consignor was accidentally placed in your tote. This will be your ONLY opportunity to let us know if you think something is missing from your inventory. PLEASE NOTE: NON-INVENTORIED ITEMS ARE NOT GUARANTEED! CHECK-OUT IS YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO DISPUTE MISSING ITEMS. ALL ITEMS NOT PICKED UP WILL BE DONATED!
Cash-In: Receive your check in the mail within two weeks of the sale. (Your sales x YOUR%) - $10 consignor fee(paid online at registration) = your profit!

Make a mental note of what did not sell. Was it priced too high? Not presented well? You can fix it the next time around!

What Do I Bring to My SCHEDULED Check-in?

If you plan to pick up your unsold items following the sale, bring a large tote with your last name and consignor number on the front of it. You can write your information on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper and tape it to the tote if you do not wish to write on the tote.
You do not need to print out a copy of our Consignor Waiver, but may want to read it online so you can have a faster check-in. Please set aside 30 minutes to 1 hour for check-in.
Bring all clothing organized by size and gender. Please rubber band your grouped hanger-tops together for a faster check-in.

When is Pick-Up?

I f you decide not to donate your unsold items, you will pick them up following the event.
Pick-up for this event will be in two shifts. If your number consignor number is below 1100 pick up is at 6:30 pm sharp. If your consignor number is 1100 or higher, your pick up is at 7:30 pm sharp.
If you do not personally pick up your items at check-out, you forgo the reimbursement guarantee on missing items. Friends are welcome to pick up for each other, but only the owner of the inventory may review it and make a claim.
