Welcome! (A little about us)

Welcome to our new and improved website and consignment sale. We were formerly known as Classy Kids Seasonal Consignment, but changed our name in January 2016 to reflect our growth into a full family sale. We still have the same owner and same great service as always. We are so excited that our sale is expanding to include items for the entire family. We'd like to tell you a little bit more about our sale and some exciting things you can look for in the future.

1. What is Family Marketplace?

We are a seasonal consignment event that allows families to sell outgrown & unused items and to find new and like new items at a fraction of retail prices. Each of our consignors have the opportunity to earn up to 80% profit on all of their sales. The best part? Unlike garage sales or flea markets you don't need to sit with your items day in and day out and haggle with buyers. You simply drop off your items, sit back and watch your sales rack up in your online account. Sounds great, right?!

2. What sort of things might you find at one of our sales?

That is a great question! We accept clothing, shoes and accessories for newborns-adult including maternity wear. We also accept toys, games, baby gear, outdoor play sets, small furniture, strollers, car seats, hunting & fishing gear, home decor and more. We have guidelines for our consignors to follow and are selective with our incoming items, so you are sure to find quality items at great prices.

**New to this sale** We are going to offer brand new, discounted Melissa & Doug items. We are so excited about this addition and hope you are too.

3. Do you run special events during your sale?

Yes, we do! The Thursday before our sale opens to the public, we have a special presale. This sale allows our volunteers, consignors and vendors a chance to shop before the public. We also host a special "New Parent" presale event that night with door prizes, goodie bags and special vendors. This event gives new parents (those expecting or that have a child 12 months or younger. New foster and adoptive families also qualify) the same opportunity to shop the best deals the night before the public. This event is fun and registration always fills up quick. Be sure to secure your spot by going to the "events" tab and registering as a new parent.

**New to this sale** we will be hosting a Family Expo and Vendor Fair on the Saturday of our sale. This event will include local community resources, fun activities for the kids, and allow local vendors a venue to sell items and interact with potential customers. Admission is free!!
