Update On First Time Consigning....

Well it was a lot of work and not too sure if it was worth it because I only made $180.00 now you may be thinking that is not bad but for all the work you have to do I wasn't too happy... I thought my prices were reasonable and only namebrand items went in the sale.. I put two shirts together cause my son had so much it was easier that way with a price tag of $10 now they were worn may be 1-3 times if that and it was baby gap, childrens place or old navy and their shirts are at least 12.00 a piece or more sometimes and all I wanted was $10 for 2 of them was that so bad? Cause if we break it down it goes like this I put $10.00 on both the sale gets 40% so that is $4.00 for them which leaves me with $6.00 and that averages out to $3.00 for each shirt so I can't go much lower on the price or I would't get anything and some people charge more than that at a yard sale and a yard sale is not half of the work that getting ready for this sale was.. So not sure if I will be doing it again next season or not it was nice getting into the pre sale though maybe my friend will sell next season and I can go with her.. I am going to try ebay again maybe it will work out for me this time (used to sell all of my son's clothes on there but when they changed their fee's it was not worth it to me anymore) will let you know how that goes for me too!! Can't complain too much though cause I bought $108.00 worth of items (check out my previous haul posts to see them) so technically got that stuff for free with $72.00 left over so if you look at it that way it may seem worth it but then I think about the two trips to my friends house (she lives about 30 mins away from me) to tag the items, getting them ready to be tagged (which means sorting,hanging pinning), the trip over to take them to the sale (which was over an hour away from where I live) and then making the trip back over to pick the left over stuff and check up (really shouldn't complain about the trips cause I rode with my friend but just wanted to give the example of the time it takes to do this).. So to sum it up my first time consigning did not go as well as I had hoped..
