Do your kids grow fast?

Many of our consignors say they feel good knowing that their children’s items will be appreciated by other families. By consigning, you can help make parenting more affordable for others!

What do you do with all of your children’s outgrown clothing, toys, books and baby gear that are still in great condition? As parents, we know how quickly these things can pile up, taking up precious space in your home. A consignment account with Minnows is a great solution.

Most consignors choose to earn store credit and spend their earnings right here at Minnows to keep up with their growing children, grandchildren or other little ones in their lives. Having store credit means that when you see something you really love, either in our store or online, you can quickly snatch it up… and things sure do go quickly at Minnows, so having the store credit can give you a real advantage!  

We’ve heard so many exciting stories about how consignors have used the money they’ve earned back from their Minnows consignment accounts! A few examples are to fund family vacations, save for holiday spending, or help pay bills and make ends meet. Whatever the need or want is for your family, it’s a great way to make extra money and the earnings add up quickly!

As a consignor, you are an integral part of the success of Minnows, a valuable resource in our community. We thank you wholeheartedly for choosing to bring your goods to us and for becoming part of our Minnows family!

When you consign with us, it’s like being a member of a very special, local club!  It’s fun to check in regularly to see how your items are selling and occasionally you will even witness the moment your item finds its new family! 

Did you know that kids can have their own Minnows account? It’s a great way to get them involved in the process! They can earn credit or money back and then decide whether to spend or save. So many great lessons and benefits can be wrapped up into this experience. 

• • When selling on Facebook Marketplace or swap sites, it can be discouraging and time-consuming when you plan to meet someone who doesn’t follow through. Also, when it comes to lower-priced items like basic clothing and toys, you often earn more at Minnows because we sell the items individually as opposed to in a lot.    
  • Resale shops that buy goods outright pay less and here’s why: 
    • With consignment, because we are not paying money upfront, we are able to take on more items from each person on the chance that the items might sell. When buying items outright, a shop must choose much more selectively due to the risk of items not selling. The consignment model allows us to have a robust revolving inventory, while still choosing product mindfully. This means a fresh selection and a wide variety of goods every time you visit.
