KC Kids Sale F.A.Q. Page

Q: Why should I sell with KC Kids Sale?
A: We're personable, professional and organized. We will offer you guidance through the process of preparing your merchandise for sale while we advertise the sale to attract well over 1000 shoppers. Best of all, you do not have to be present to sell your items or haggle over sales prices. You simply prepare, tag and bring your items for set up, and they will be sold for the price marked. Plus, you will earn more than what local consignment stores will offer. You will also enjoy access to the private pre-sale the night before the general public is allowed to shop at the sale.

Q. Are your sales always free admission?
A. Yes, we never charge an admission fee to any of our sales.

Q. What if I don't have time to tag my items?
A. We have what is called VIP tagging where we do all the work for you and you earn 50% profit on all your sold items. We have a trailer and offer free pick up of your items just send an email with your information and we will be happy to pick up and tag your items for you.

Q. Can I really earn up to 80% on my sold items
A. Yes, the baseline is 70% for everyone and then if you help at the sale you have the potential to earn up to 80% with your registration fee waived.

Q: How much work is it to prepare items for sale?
A: Proper preparation of items does take time, but it will assure the best results in sales and, therefore, money in your pocket! Our barcoding system makes entering and printing price tags a SNAP! We encourage sellers to begin preparing early, doing a little each day. We also offer merchandise preparation guidelines, under the "Seller Info" tab on this website, to assist you in this task and are always available to answer questions about item preparation, pricing, etc. It is not unheard of to make over $1000 at sales like these, so your hard work can really PAY off!

Q: Wouldn't I make more money if I held my own garage sale or sold my items on Craigslist?
A: The benefit of selling at KC Kids Sale is that we will bring in well over 1000 shoppers who are specifically looking for baby, children's and maternity items. You don't have to advertise, haggle over price, have strangers at your home or go to a stranger's home, and you are able to remain anonymous.

Q: Why does KC Kids Sale require wire hangers for all clothing?
A: Wire hangers make the clothes look nicer and take less space on the racks. In other words, shoppers can easily slide clothes back and forth on the racks while browsing without breaking hangers (resulting in clothes on floor and possible damage to other clothes from the sharp edges). The tighter and more difficult the clothes are to shop, the less likely buyers are to purchase your items.

Shopper Questions:

Q: Why should I shop at KC Kids Sale?
A: You will find a huge selection of quality, gently used baby/children's items under one roof for reasonable prices. Rather than driving from garage sale to garage sale, where quality and selection is not guaranteed, this sale is dedicated to exactly what you need-baby, children's, and maternity consignment. You will find everything categorized and nicely displayed in a comfortable indoor environment for easy shopping.

Q: What type of payment methods are accepted at the sale?
A: Cash, of course, if the preferred method. We also take Visa & Mastercard.

Q: Are items I purchase returnable?
A: Sorry all sales are final there are no refunds or exchanges.

Helper/Volunteer Questions:

Q: Do I have to work a shift if I am a seller?
A: No. Sellers are not required to work a volunteer shift, but doing so will result in higher profits since sellers who volunteer have the potential to make up to 80% and have their consignor registration fee waived.

Q: What happens if a seller signs up for a volunteer shift and then does not show up?
A: Per the contract, if seller signs up for a volunteer shift and is a "no show" or if seller shows up for shift with children (and is therefore unable to work their shift), the commission will be reduced to 65% of the total dollar amount of their items sold minus a $10 fee.

Q. What types of jobs do volunteers do?
A: There are all sorts of jobs available, there is something for everyone. You can even recruit the men in your life to help with set up and break down of the event (this would count as one of your shifts towards the higher percentage)
