Consignment Sale Perfect for New Parents"},"content":{"rendered":"
When I stumbled across a blog advertising the Got Kids? Consignment Sale in Troy, NY I knew it was right up my alley.<\/p>\n
The sale is only held twice a year, in the spring and fall, and is a perfect opportunity for new parents to score some awesome baby bargains. New moms & dads can pre-register online to attend on the opening day of the sale and had my parent’s flight made it to Albany on time, I would have been there when the doors opened. When I did finally make it on Thursday, there was still plenty to browse!<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Held at the Frear Park Arena in Troy, it was probably the most organized & detailed operation<\/strong> I have ever seen. I was SUPER impressed<\/em> with how efficient the whole sale was! All the items up for grabs were neatly packaged, hanging on hangers, clean, neat and orderly making it easy to browse.<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n We found lots of name brand clothing all the way to children’s size 14, including Halloween costumes. The organizers are pretty picky about what they accept, so you won’t find any happy meal toys, junior’s clothing, any<\/em> recalled items or infant car seats. Most things we came across were in great condition!<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n Pricing was pretty consistent, but we did come across a few items that were all over the place. Honestly, I was leery of purchasing any toys for Colt because I wasn’t sure that I could get them clean enough and he’s really at that stage where everything goes in his mouth. Nonetheless, there were some great bargains. I picked up some new-in-package bath toys for just $2, a pair of new baby boots for $1 and some drawer safety latches for $1. Bargains, right?!?<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n Maybe next year we’ll be looking to unload some of our baby gear and if that’s the case, we’re looking at a 70% profit. I’m thinking that sounds like a win\/win! Because at this sale, it looks like there’s something for everyone!<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When I stumbled across a blog advertising the Got Kids?
