Why should I become a consignor? 

 

It is the perfect way to recycle and get a chance to shop early for the treasures you are looking for.  With our sale, there is no need to haggle over prices as you would if you had a garage sale.  There is no need to filter through dozens of emails and risk someone not even showing up to pick up the item(s) you are trying to sell online.  We have advertised in local publications that will reach over 170,000 homes in our area including Kids Directory, Impact News, online venues, and sales fliers to daycares, preschools, and child-oriented businesses. We will display your items organized on clearly labeled racks in preparation for a highly anticipated sale. 

As a consignor, YOU get to set your own price and get 65% of the sale price.  YOU decide whether your items be reduced to 25-50% off, be donated or come right back to you for the next sale.  YOU have the opportunity to work volunteer shifts to get up to 80% of the sales price of your items and get to shop before the public.  This is YOUR sale!

We thank you for your interest in becoming a consignor with us.  What better way to make some money than by selling kids clothing and items that you are done using!  The average consignor check for our events is over $230!  Not only is it a way to add to the bank account, but as a potential shopper, you are also doing your part to help reduce, reuse and recycle.

We invite you to help us support our community.  Fairytale Threads will be donating canned food and dry pantry items to the Round Rock Area Serving Center.
Please bring an item and donate it at the door.
