Child's Play + Resale = Earnings


Uniquely yours...for less!

No, the title of this blog is not about crazy mathematics, but more an introduction of how you can earn cash from your "outgrown" or "never worn" children's closet by entering into the ever-growing world of resale. And while making reference to ever-growing, we all know how fast children grow. So fast in fact, that some items of their clothing either never get worn, or are worn a handful of times, where they practically show no signs of wear.

If you know what we mean, you're one of those parents who has a bundle of children's clothes that are just too good to "give away". Where your friends/family have reached the "done and done" stage on having anymore babies. Where your little one's closet contain brands like Janie & Jack, Ralph Lauren, Vineyard Vines, Baby Gap, Juicy Couture to name but a few. What should you do with these wonderful items? Well, you could, of course, vacuum pack them up, put them in the attic so they never see the light of day again, or you could give others the chance of making great use of these clothes by recycling them through resale and at the same time make a buck or few for yourself by doing so. To us, at consignista.com that makes perfect sense. You earn, while others save.

So what are your resale options? Your local consignment store (if you have one that takes children's clothes), or there is the online route. And whilst consignista.com is totally online, and for those of you who don't already know how great we are, let's talk about the benefits of that (because we know what we are talking about) or so rumor has it!

The benefits to using consignista.com:

You're not restricted as to when you can consign your items for resale, because being online means you never know who is looking for what, in any particular season.

You get to choose the price you want to list your items at (although it is always recommended to discount items new with tags by 50%) as a starting point.

Once you list your items, they can stay on consignista.com until they sell, or if you request for us to remove them.

We will not reduce your items (unless you tell us to), or if we ever do decide to do a "flash sale" the discounted price will come out of our pocket, not yours. That means no nasty surprises when you get your money.

You earn 70% when you upload your items from the comfort of your own home to our site using our super-easy upload form.

Other benefits include a local concierge service, where take care of the whole consignment process for you, you can earn reward points when you shop with us to put towards future purchases, we have a VIP program and by consigning your items with us enables us to "give back" to great causes. Just take a look at the give back section of our site to see what we are up to now.
