Kid's consignment sales are an excellent way to save tons of money on everything you need for your kids.  You'll find everything is 50-70% off retail.  Started 4 years ago in Kristin Nelson's driveway with 30 friends, the LA Kids Consignment sale has now grown to 375 consignors in a 10,000 sq. foot warehouse!!  You'll find everything for infants to pre-teens including clothing, toys, shoes, strollers, indoor-outdoor play equipment, Halloween costumes, books, videos, puzzles, infant equipment, maternity and sooo much more!!  To get an idea how big this is, you have to check out the pictures! Plus, if you're closets, garage and attics are overflowing, you can become a consignor and earn money!   If you have items to sell, all you have to do is register on the website,  tag your items, drop them off to me, and I do the rest! You keep 65-70% of the sales price on items that sell. Take your unsold items back or I can donate them to kids' charities. You get top dollar for your items and sell them quickly with little hassle! Kristin opened a second sale in Valencia last spring so now there are two opportunities this fall to find bargains!
