Tar Heel Kids Consignment

 So You're Thinking About Consigning . . .

Goodness Mama, of course you are!! Yes! It's easy! A super simple way to turn your kids' clutter into cash! You'll make a few hundred buck$,  and sell it ALL in just one week!  And, you'll  help save the planet by passing along all that stuff to others who will use it and not toss it! Yay you! Clear some clutter. Spread some joy! You're in the right place! Grab some friends and JOIN US! Click HERE when registration opens.

Still not sure? Hesitant because . . .maybe, you've already tried other ways to clear out all the kids clothing, toys, and gear in your house --  Fess up! YOU have, haven't  you?!?! You want to share that stuff with people who will really use it . . right?  But how? Consignment stores, FACEBOOK meet up groups and other buy-sell-trade groups have the potential to be crazy time consuming, a bit frustrating, (maybe not even open?),  and definitely not nearly as much fun as joining forces with a bunch of other like-minded Mamas and helping people at the same time! 

What are you waiting for? Because you know what?  . . .we can help you clear that clutter with a lot less frustration and make you some serious  $$$ besides! Seriously, you should join us and here’s why: 

• Last year our sell-through rate was more than 75%! That's way higher than at a typical consignment store and you're keeping a lot more of your $$!

• We're absolutely committed to finding ways to help you sell your stuff and save the planet! We jumped into online selling in these crazy times and sold more than $100,000 worth of your friend's  stuff in just 9 days!!! We’re keeping this great stuff out of landfills by passing it on and by donating what doesn’t sell to local charities who help local families-not to corporate owned donations centers!

• You can give up the yard sale haggling (and the yard sale hosting! --no more strangers in your yard at 6:30 am!)

• Think of all the gas and time you'll save (and how much safer you'll feel) when you give up driving around to meet-ups for that Buy-Sell-Trade group on Facebook Marketplace-- Goodness Mama how many messages did you have to answer before you sold that ONE item? What about the people who still didn't show up?!

• You owe it to yourself to give it a try. You said you would clean out that closet/playroom/garage! Here's your chance!

• You can also help a lot of people by donating your items that don't sell! We work with great charities that distribute our donations to local folks who can really use them. (mentioned that already, right? It is SO important!)

• And then there's the CA$H! Our average consignor sells more than $400+ EVERY season! Our largest check last season was for over $3500!

• And also, it has to be said . . .Girl . . .It's so much fun!

​Still got some questions about how it all works?

Umm . . . yes , how DOES it work . . . seriously?!?! First,  you decide that you want our help selling your kids stuff! Then you register. That non-refundable fee is $15. Now, price your items and print your tags from your phone or laptop or tablet in our Online Tagging System. Next, drop your tagged stuff off at one of our sale locations. And finally,  wait by your email for the notification that your $$ has been deposited! Yep! It's that easy! NOTE: there are two even easier ways to sell with us: Valet Consigning and Swap & Shop We’ll price & tag for you and you can still shop early! These services are generally not available for our holiay events.

What is the consignor split?  Our base split for consignors who can not work on our team for at least 12 hours is 60/40. You'll keep 60% of your sales as a consignor, and pay us a 40% commission. You're pricing and dropping off the stuff and keeping 60% of your sales.  All the expenses of running the event come from our 40%!  We take care of  renting  the space, bringing in the shoppers, processing the payments, accepting the credit cards, transporting the racks & tables, all the marketing, and generally setting the whole thing up. (We’ve also got Valet and Swap & Shop options if you want to do less of the work yourself and pay us a little more) If you'd really like to do more, and help us create the event for others, (and we hope you will!) then we'll pay you and you can keep even more!  Our paid crew members get cool employee perks on all sorts of things! You can earn some serious shopping cash. Keep a higher % of your sales (as much as 75%!) and pay us  less because you're doing more- not just for yourself but to help put on the event for others!  All of  our paid crew members are invited to “first dibs” shopping at our staff party/shopping fest! (You’ ‘re basically sharing an extra 5% of your sales with the workers who are sharing their time to put on the event for others!)  

Wait, do I have to crew?  Of course not!   It's completely up to you.  There are several ways you can assist in creating the sale though! You decide what  % of your sales you want to keep, how much time you have to contribute,  and when you want to shop. Maybe you’re all over Social!? All about Insta, Tik-Tok and Facebook?  Influencer? Got friends everywhere and willing to spend some time inviting them to shop and sell with us? You can help by spreading all the love about Tar Heel Kids and we'll reward you for that!  But . . .if you’re looking for serious cash then joining the team is an easy way to get your shopping paid for! Apply to join our paid staff and work just a few shifts (20-30 hours over a 2 week period) You’ll pocket $30/4 hr shift. Our paid peeps get serious early shopping perks too!  . . . Fill out the new-hire paperwork and sign up  for a minimum of 12 hours that work for you!  We typically look for around 40 crew members each season and give preference to those who have worked with us before and those who can assist for 20 hours or more.  Most of our consignors want to pitch in for a few shifts to help get their stuff sold and to be a part of creating the sale for the community!   But it's definitely not a requirement. The moms (and dads) who help  are all about the earliest shopping perks and serious shopping cash! You might help with set up & merchandising, put out signs, hand out flyers, assist shoppers, tidy the sales floor, pack up donations, or even work as a cashier. There are hundreds of shifts available -- including a few that you can do from home outside of sale hours. Bottom line: you pay us to get your stuff sold in one fast convenient place.  And then . . .We'll pay you to help us sell all the stuff and assist the community with this awesome event! 

What kinds of items can I consign?  In person, it's all things KIDS! Clothes, shoes, toys, books, equipment, furniture, decor’ . . .  plus items for your home in the Decor’ & More area (Mommy’s Mart) . Online, it's nearly everything needed for the whole family for that particular season!

How long do I have to get this done?   Plenty of Time!! Registration opens Sept 11 and drop off is Thurday November 14th.

How & when will I receive my payout? We will pay you via PayPal direct deposit and you will have your money within 10 business days of the sale close OR  if you absolutely, positively can not make PayPal work for you, you can request a check, and your payment will be processed by Bank of America's bill pay system or via Deluxe E-check. Checks take longer as they are not written until at least 30 days after the PayPal payments  but you should still have your $ within 6 weeks of sale close. (Either way is fine with us but  Pay Pal is more secure and much easier and faster for us (and for you!) so we strongly encourage you to go that route!)

Now, go ahead and register!
