    It would be so great if they had a consignment sale like that for grown up clothes...or wishing I fit in kid sizes ;) Thanks for the tips!

    Just went to one yesterday, it was over whelming but fun at the same time. I agree in focusing on purchasing name brand clothing and purchasing cloths for the next 6 months. Be patient and remember to look thru the racks for the hidden gems. Great video!

    So cute when your son was talking at the end of the video about waiting for halloween! You have a beautiful family!. I never thought of buying clothes for my sons at a consignment store but after watching this video I will have to go and check it out!!! Especially, because after a year or less the clothes does not fit them anymore.

      As a seller, I feel like that's how tags get lost or come off and items go missing. When shoppers grab arm loads of items and then decide they don't want them and then fail to put them back in the correct place.. I have had so many items disappear because of this over the 12 years I have consigned.. I know it's also extremely frustrating for the sale owners and organizers to keep up with this.. I say as long as you're putting the items back where they belong it's fine, but not a good habit to get into otherwise..

  • @MsDippindonuts
    @MsDippindonuts 9 лет назад

    Good idea to take a tape measure along-I always measure items because sometimes they do shrink- don't want to end up with something you can't use. I do more rummages and church rummages are ALWAYS good deals!!! ♥

    • @DoItOnaDime
      @DoItOnaDime  9 лет назад

    I don't think we have those over here in the UK! We have regular shop sales, but I'm guessing consignment items are second hand? We have a lot of charity shops which sell second hand clothes and sometimes they will have a sale. This year I'm planning on shopping in charity shops for Christmas and buying good glass items etc to make into presents - like little glass bowls and fill them with home made truffles and such.

  • @yvetteyasui
    @yvetteyasui 9 лет назад

    Such great tips! I remember the first consignment sale I went to, I had no clue, no strategy and saw moms who brought laundry baskets and empty strollers and moms who strategized by going to the shoes and toys first, clothes were last because there is just so much more clothes. Now that we moved to NYC, we don't have these big consignment sales (that I know of, if any of you know of any, please let me know!!!)
    Thanks Katherine!

    I need to find them where we live in Minnesota. We're new to the area and I've never been to a big consignment sale before, but with 4 boys saving where we can is important to us. Especially with needing to get winter clothes for our first real winter 😁 Thank you for the tips I feel much more prepared and a lot less anxiety about going 👍🏼

  • @elainemarie9470
    @elainemarie9470 9 лет назад

    What fantastic tips, Kathryn!
    Especially the big bags and a sheet for the floor.
    Do you find the consignment shops better than thrift stores?
    I do not shop at any used item stores.
    I am a highly sensitive person, and when wearing something someone else has worn, it feels like the person is in the clothes, along with me. No matter how many times I wash it, the person's vibe is still present.
    It's a bummer, because I love bargains, and reuse/recycle practices.
    I am very affected by whom has touched even the new stock at the store, such that I will select the back one to purchase. Seriously.
    Even objects will often be haunted. Once in San Francisco, where space is at a premium, we went into a nonprofit's antique store. My sister wanted to go there, because it was right next to the restaurant we lunched at. In the tiny space, the cacaphony of entities trying to talk to me, all at once, was unbearable.
    I had to stand outside, until my sis was done shopping.
    Locally, I attended a lecture at a large used bookstore. They also have other items for sale, from musical instruments to decor items. Immediately, my eyes were drawn to a Mexican souvenir, for a couple of dollars. It was very old, but in pristine condition. It was an exquisitely done brass statue of a Mayan God, about 4" high, not molded. It was an assembled artisan's work, even with dangling pieces joined together, creating movement. The artwork was mounted on a magnificent good sized marble square, quality you never see any more, in the marketplace. It was black marble, with golden veins running through it, coordinating with the brass, and highly polished, with rounded sides. I picked it up, and saw the bottom underneath had an explanation card, written in an old fashioned typewriter font & spacing.
    I was smitten. I even felt like a little electrical charge, went through me, as I held it. As I pondered it/him, knowing what a valuable piece it was, feeling powerfully enchanted with it, I also began feeling uneasy.
    As this feeling arose in me, I realized something negative was attached to it. Yet, I really wanted to talk myself out of my intuitive impressions, using my rationale & intellect.
    I had loved studying the ancient cultures of the Americas, including the Mayan, Aztec, and Incan civilizations, as a child.
    I decided to conduct a test, with my former scientist self welling up in me. I went to a young man who worked at the store. I know that many of the younger generations after me, are very open-minded. I intuitively felt he would be game for my test.
    I told Justin that I was interested in a certain item, but something felt strange to me. I asked him if he wouldn't mind looking at a whole long counter of small decorative items, and see if he could pick out the one that seemed odd.
    Right away, Justin went over to the Mayan piece & picked it up, and said, "it's this one, isn't it?"
    Crestfallen, I said yes. He went on to say they hadn't had it for long. Seeing my sad face, he offered to put it on hold for me. I declined, knowing that as much as I loved the piece, it was not good for me to bring something like that, into my home.
    It simply wasn't worth taking the chance.
    I recalled a paranormal reality show on TV, called "The Collector" that I saw many years ago. It was a team of investigators that were called out to a home or business, to clear out bad mojo.
    They were always places that had some antiques.
    The team would be able to single out what was causing the trouble. So I know it's a real phenomena.
    I left the store, regretfully without the object. I couldn't stop thinking about it.
    That night, I had an unusual & scary dream. The object was now alive, full size, and he kept encouraging me to go back to the store, to buy him. Oh my.
    I called out to JC (I'm sorry, I don't mean to offend anyone with the mention of a religious icon), the Archangels, and asked for protection.
    This was quite trippy to experience.

      +Elaine Marie I definitely find Consignment to be a much better concentration of kids' stuff than thrifting. Especially because a lot of donated items are the rejects from consignment sales.

    @my2jedi 9 лет назад

    Great tips - where were you (and the RUclips) when my boys were that size? Lol! One tip you might use as Carson gets into superhero and other character dress-up: little girls' leggings make perfect bottoms for Batman, Superman, Spiderman, and all kinds of other costumes, and can always be found for a dollar at GW. My son dressed up as a Pirate several times a week for years (even to the grocery store), and leggings were the way to go. Also, girls' basic black boots go with so many costume themes. Hope that helps!

    • @DoItOnaDime
      @DoItOnaDime  9 лет назад

      +Hinahon Hey! Consignment sales are sales where average sellers who have extra stuff (kid items, teen clothes, name brand designers for adults, etc) bring them to a venue on particular dates (usually weekends) and sell them. They typically happen at churches or gyms. The venue takes a cut and the seller gets the rest. And the buyers get awesome things at a really good price!

    I WISH consignment shops caught on over in the UK. We have charity shops and they're run by volunteers but they're nothing like what you've shown today, they're usually all really tatty clothing and you're lucky if you can find anything half decent (at least where I live)

    • @mckenna8663
      @mckenna8663 8 лет назад +1

      +Average Jane Honestly? Why not start one? If you learn how (and being so far away, I think people might be helpful with hints of how to run one) - I'll BET it would be very popular (being the first anywhere around).
      These owners of sales are making GOOD money!

  • @mckenna8663
    @mckenna8663 8 лет назад

    Those are good prices - but if I marked my things that low - I wouldn't make it worth my time. You only make 50-70% on items. Washing (ironing sometimes), hanging, pricing, transporting, picking up if need be... for $1.00 or 50 cents an item? I would just as likely donate it to Goodwill. I DO sell consignment - but I charge a bit more.

    I looked to see if Miami fl had anything. Booo! Nothing. 😔 Miami is usually too conceited to have those type of stores!!! 😔

      +Lizwsw Awesome! It's so hard to find skeleton costumes for the little guys that aren't too scary!
