FALL IS AROUND THE CORNER, and so is WINTER. (It’s not our fault.) That means that the 14th Half-Pint Resale at the Madison Curling Club is coming, too!
Have you been to Half-Pint Resale? It’s the area’s largest children’s consignment sale, with items for kids ages 0-12, pregnant mommas, and new parents. With tens of thousands of items sold in just three days (see the pictures!), local families can put their gently used goods back into the community and some money back in their pockets, and shoppers get great deals, knowing that their dollars are heading right back into the community. Because of our commitment to the community, we’re a member of Dane Buy Local and hope to introduce you to other great local, independent and community-centered businesses through their wide network.
Let’s get the sale on your calendar – a several hour volunteer presale (allowing for folks to vary when they arrive, and how long they stay), a bit later consignor presale (making it easier to come after you or your partner’s work day), and a FULL DAY OF SATURDAY PUBLIC SALE SHOPPING that starts early in the morning for your thrifty early-birds, and extends late enough into the evening that allows you to spend the daytime with your fam, and your early evening catching bargains. Finally, you can find even more good deals running into Sunday during the Half-Price sale. For those of you shop our presales, we highly recommend taking a second look at the sale post the presales because there are things you’ll never see until they are unearthed!
REGISTRATION IS OPEN!
For those of you who are new to consigning, check out the Consigning area of our website for loads of info that will explain how it all works, and learn about all of the fabulous perks of consigning including 70% of your sales (the highest of any other consignment sale in the area and always 70% whether or not you volunteer), and a special pre-sale all for you!.
Make sure you look through the Tagging Guidelines and our What to Sell documents on this same page. Need an extra nudge? Find out why consigning impacts your community here AND communities half-way across the world and read what other folks are saying about Half-Pint.
Barcodes you say? Once you are registered through our online system, you be able to print out barcodes that correspond with your specific Consignor Number and the Price. Barcodes are then copied easily onto labels. Labels are affixed to a tag, giving you the flexibility to tag with a glass of wine in front of the TV or with a gaggle of friends (you can see where our priorities continue to lie, hey?). Don’t worry, we spell it all out for you on our consignor page and in the pdf “How to Half-Pint”.
And guess what? Choose to donate any goods not sold post sale to the non-profits that Half-Pint supports and you will be automatically be eligible to win a $100 Food Fight Gift Certifcate (yum!).
