The Here We Grow Again consignment sale in North Kansas City is growing and\u00a0quickly becoming one of the best organized\u00a0sales in the area. This is the second year of the sale under the current management. They have around 100 consignors this year. Inside of their temporary store, they have many new and gently used items for sale. What is a consignment sale? A consignment sale is not a garage sale or a thrift store. Consignors price and tag items they wish to sell. The items have to be in good working condition and approved by the sale managers before they are put into the sale. They bring the items to the sale sight where they are categorized, organized, and displayed. They have everything from clothes and toys to highchairs and room d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n
Overall we love Here We Grow Again \u2013 Northland because<\/strong><\/p>\n Hours<\/strong><\/p>\n The sale runs from April 19 thru April 22 \u2013<\/p>\n Pricing<\/strong><\/p>\n Items are priced by each individual consignor, so prices vary. The usual \u201crule of thumb\u201d is that items are priced 25% to 35% of retail, but will fluctuate depending on the condition and demand for the item.<\/p>\n They take credit, debit, and cash. They do NOT take checks or American Express.<\/p>\n Sizing<\/strong><\/p>\n The majority of items are for ages newborn to juniors. However, each season\u2019s sale will differ depending on what consignors bring in. The majority of items are for kids ages newborn to 12 years. This sale does have juniors up to size 16, some maternity clothing and a small selection of adult sizes.<\/p>\n Sale Items<\/strong><\/p>\n Here We Grow Again \u2013 Northland has various items for sale. They include: clothes, toys, strollers, car seats, safety equipment, baby carriers, pack-n-plays, etc. At this sale, they have a larger amount of girl\u2019s clothes than boy\u2019s clothes \u2013 which can be typical for a consignment sale. Some boy’s sizes have a larger selection than others. The sale is well organized and well-marked.<\/p>\n This year, the sale is color-coded to help shoppers locate gender-specific items. The pink, blue, and green floor coverings beneath the racks and tables will help you figure out where gender-specific\u00a0items are located and save you precious time when searching through the great deals! It also adds to the organization and color of the sale. This sale is newer to the area and growing quickly. It is not as large as some of the more established sales around town, but you will still find many great items!<\/p>\n Here We Grow Again inspects all items that are brought in to be sold. The items must be clean and in good condition before they are put on the shelf. Many of the items have only been used a few times before a child grew out of it. Some items still include the original packaging and instructions. Here We Grow Again \u2013 Northland is very selective about the condition of the items – \u00a0many items look like they have never been used!<\/p>\n We suggest expectant moms shop at, at least, one consignment sale before they buy new items. We know there are certain things you want to be new. However, check out the sales for toys and other newborn items. You will be amazed at the quality and condition of the products.<\/p>\n Need to Know Before You Go:<\/strong><\/p>\n We suggest you go on one of the first-sale days if you need a specific item or have a list of \u201cmust haves\u201d. It is first-come-first-serve. There are, usually, multiples of toys and books, but the hot items move fast. Seasoned consignment shoppers arrive early because they know they will find quality items at great prices. The lines will be long \u2013 especially on opening and closing days. Be prepared to wait in line. Bring a book or something to entertain yourself while you wait.<\/p>\n Before you leave the house, take stock of what you need. It is very easy to become overwhelmed. Check shoe sizes and make a list of clothing items you will need for this season and the next. Also, think about the toys your child needs and will be growing into. They have toys for all ages. Stock up on toys your child will be using in a few months or years.<\/p>\n At the sale, be sure to check items larger than the sizes you need. Since some of the clothes that are gently used have been washed and may run small.<\/p>\n Insider Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
