The last Totswap insanity is about to begin tomorrow through Sunday. If you haven't attended (and neither have I), it sounds like one massive consignment frenzy. Here, you can trade in your kids, while you buy their toys for well below retail. Seriously, it sounds like the last place on earth I'd take my kid (I'd either kill him or lose him).
"Join over 1000 Maryland families as they turn their gently used toys, equipment, clothing and more into CA$H this Fall!"
They do this at Fairgrounds and other massive places where anyone can register and drop off children's clothes and toys in good condition, and then en masse, these items make up one huge consignment event made up of thousands of items.
Consignors make 65% back on what they sell (a check is mailed after the event), based on a price set by the consignor. The Sunday of the event is 50% off day, where items that the consignors chose in advance to discount are sold at half off.
I am sooo curious-maybe I'll try to make it on Sunday. This last event is near me in Timonium:
2200 York Road, 21094.
Open for shoppers Fri & Sat, 9:00-3:00. Sunday 10:00-2:00
