Buyer/Shopper Sale FAQ's

What is OC Kids Consignment Sale?

We are a seasonal consignment sale that hosts large kids sales every 3 months. We have a Winter Sale, Fall Sale, Summer Sale, and Spring Sale. We are not a retail store or a consignment shop open daily to the public. We have Huge 3-day consignment sales with over 30,000 baby/kids items and 200+ Orange County Families just like you that participate and bring in their outgrown kids items  to sell. We offer quality gently used children's items at bargain prices less than half off most retail and department stores! OC Kids Consignment organizes each sellers (also known as consignors) items and display them just like a retail store in our building location. We advertise to the public and organize the whole consignment sale event every 3 months for our consignors and buyers.

Why should I shop at consignment sales?

We all know children are expensive but their stuff does not have to be! Buying "New" baby and kids items does not make sense anymore when you can get the same items in gently used condition for less than half the price.  Though times are tough these days we give OC Families a reason to not have to cut back on our children. You know that kids outgrow and change clothing and shoe sizes very quickly, and new toys and baby equipment  are used for only just a few months before they are no longer age appropriate. Our sales offer baby/kids name brand clothing, toys, equipment, and shoes at 60-90% less so you will never have to pay full retail prices again!

Where is the Spring Sale going to be?

We are growing larger and larger every sale and have now moved to a huge 20,000 + sq. foot building on Beach Blvd in Huntington Beach off Beach and Atlanta. Conveniently located near PCH.

Will your Summer Sale be held at the same location?

We are hoping to be able to use this large building for the next few sales so there is a good chance that we will be at this same location in the Fall. If not we can keep you updated will all our sale dates and locations if you Sign Up on our Email List.

Can I bring my baby or children with me to the sale?

We do allow children to come to our public and pre-sale events. Please take in mind that we do get very busy at times and we sometimes have long waits and long lines at checkout. We do also allow strollers inside but all diaper bags, strollers, and large items brought into the sale are subject to inspection upon entering and leaving our sale.  

Is there a fee to get into the sale and shop?

Our sales are FREE to shop on our Public Sale dates. There is never a charge to get in and shop, and we never charge for parking.

No, we are a kids consignment sale and we accept anything pertaining to babies or kids ranging from NB to size 16. We also accept items for mommies like maternity clothing and diaper bags etc...

Is there a minimum or maximum number of items I can sell?

All participating consignors must bring a MINIMUM of 30 quality items to sell at our sale. We do this to insure that your time and effort is all worthwhile. There is no MAXIMUM number of items you may sell and bring as many items as you would like.

Do I have to be at the sale to consign my items?

Consignors do not have to work or be at the sale in order to sell their items with us. That's what makes consignment sales much better than garage sales. All you do is prepare, tag, and drop off your items with us and we do the rest for you. If you are wanting to donate your unsold items after the sale is over (make sure you mark Donate on your tags) and you will not be required to come and pick up after the sale. Otherwise all consignors must come and pick their unsold items up on Monday June 27th.  

Will I get my hangers back?

Unlike most retail stores we do not remove the hangers on our clothing items when they are sold at our sales. Many of the items are pinned and secured to the hangers by the sellers so it would be too time consuming to remove all the tags, pins, and ties in order to return the hangers back to the consignors. We recommend checking with stores like Target, Old Navy, Dry cleaners, and Wal-mart as they have often just given consignors bunches of them for free. If not you can purchase 10 for $1.00 in many places like 99 cent stores, Dollar Tree, Wal-mart, and Kmart.

How can I see what items I've sold at the sale?

We use an easy Sale Manager program that allows you to keep track of your daily sales and estimated totals. At the end of each sale day (about 2-3 hours after we close) we will be uploading all the sales for the day into our system so you can login and check how much you have sold. It is very easy and can be done straight from home!

Where do my donated items go after the sale?

In the past we have donated all our items to Wings of Faith and Teen MOPS.  We are always looking give back and donate to women's and children's charities. If you know of any other in the OC area please let us know and we would be happy to arrange something with them as well.

What do I do if I registered to consign but cannot participate and sell anymore?

If you are signed up to sell at our sale and can no longer participate please log in to your account and unregister yourself from the sale. We have had problems in the past with people registering to sell and consign at our sale and they never end up participating so we cannot get a updated consignor count before the sale begins. Because of this any consignors who Sign Up and Register for our sale and DO NOT Unregister (if they find they can’t or no longer want to participate for any reason) will be blocked and removed from registering for our Summer 2011 sale.  This rule also applies to registered consignors who DO NOT show up for their scheduled Drop-off Appointment  without having make prior arrangements. There will be no penalty for registering and then unregistering before June 20th 2011.
