Many people have the belief that they will be looked down on if others find out that they resale shop. That feeling needs to be thrown out the window.

With many children going to school, daycare programs or even just needing play wear, there is no need to pay retail for those items.

12 Here at Crayons Children s Resale we are no garage sale! Most of our merchandise looks brand new because children grow out of their clothes so fast. We also see baby gear come in, such as cribs and strollers as they are also used for such a short time. Many people have the belief that they will be looked down on if others find out that they resale shop. That feeling needs to be thrown out the window. As we see the economy changing daily, we urge families to shop resale rather than retail so they can see their money go farther. With many children going to school, daycare programs or even just needing play wear, there is no need to pay retail for those items. We carry a wide selection of school uniforms, clothes, maternity, hair bows, shoes, back packs, cribs, strollers, car seats, high chairs, toys and more. We have shoppers who drive over 1 hour to come shop/consign with us. We see moms, dads, grandparents, child care centers, school teachers and even churches needing to make their dollar go farther. We are very picky on our consignments as we know what the customers are looking for. We believe in looking retail, not garage sale!
