The consignment of
children’s toys and apparel is a booming cottage
industry with a growing audience of parents young
and old who realize the value of recycling.
From
clothing, shoes, toys and homeschooling materials to baby equipment, furniture,
and sometimes even maternity-wear, the consignment
sale is a resale extravaganza for all things
child-oriented.

With the option to both buy and sell, consignment
sales are a win-win situation for parents. Being
able to purchase gently worn garments (in sizes
newborn through teen) can be a considerable savings
for many. As children grow quickly, and new clothes
can carry a hefty price tag, the prospect of saving
money and cleaning out closets at the same time is
appealing -- especially to families with multiple
children.
A concept that has
picked up considerable speed in recent years, there
are 14+ permanent resale stores and rotating
consignment opportunities available in the (NC)
Triangle area, alone. Beginning as a modest tent
gathering in a local parking lot, the Kids
Exchange now boasts a permanent venue at the NC
State Fairgrounds and draws 1500 consigners and
nearly 10,000 shoppers at its twice yearly sales.
The nomadic Nearly New Clothing Exchange
maintains a loyal following of families who have
been with the sale since its inception, and the
Triangle Mothers Of Twins & Triplets (TMOTT)
Clothing & Equipment Sale has shoppers lining up
hours before their doors open.
