What is Consignment?

Moo La La Boutique is a Seasonal Children’s Consignment Event that specializes in high-quality, new and pre-loved children’s items. Consignors profit by selling their gently used merchandise and shoppers find quality products at a fraction of retail prices. This benefits everyone and allows you to be “green” by recycling!

The event will offer a wide variety of merchandise from infant to teen clothing, baby gear, toys, children’s furniture, nursing and maternity items. Basically, anything pertaining to kids will be there! Items accepted will be in excellent, clean and working condition. Everything is neatly organized and easy to find!

Our Event will be held in the spring and fall, providing a venue for families to sell their children’s outgrown gear. Consignors set their own prices, tag the items with our easy to use My Sale Manager System, then drop it off at their scheduled time. Consignors are not required to be at the event to sell their items.

What Are the Benefits of Consigning?

– The $11 consignor fee helps to provide the amazing location, racks, sale equipment, advertising and the work involved in organizing and executing the sale, giving your items more opportunities to be sold to the hundreds of shoppers.

– No need for yard sales, Craigslist or Ebay…we do the selling for you! Also, there is a larger profit when consigning compared to selling at a yard sale. Items price much higher when being sold through consignment.

– Consignors will earn 65% of their sales, volunteers earn up to 80%, which is much more profitable than selling at consignment stores.

– Don’t forget that consignors and volunteers get to shop early before the public, giving you the best selection on the items your kids need!
