The Next Size Up Kids’ Consignment Sale, voted the best kids’ consignment sale in two local contests, is returning to the John Smith Sports Center located at 70 Sumner Street in Milford this weekend! (October 2 – 4, 2015)
The event will feature more than 40,000 items for babies and children for sale at a fraction of retail prices: toys, clothing (infant – junior), baby gear (strollers, bouncers, etc.), Halloween costumes, books, décor, furnishings, DVDs and more. All items will be inspected for quality, tagged, and displayed by size, gender, and interest.
The sale will be open to the public with free admission 9 AM to 8 PM on Friday, Oct. 2. More merchandise will be brought in before the sale opens again Saturday, Oct. 3, running from 9 AM to 6 PM. Many items will be marked half price on Sunday, Oct. 4, from 10 AM to 2 PM. Anyone bringing at least two items for donation to the food pantry on Sunday can gain early admittance at 9:30 AM. Cash, Mastercard and VISA are accepted.
Next Size Up, which has been operating sales in the spring and fall since 2009, was named Best Consignment Sale in the Greater Boston area by voters at ConsignmentMommies.com, a national children’s consignment resource, and was selected as the favorite sale of readers of the Marlborough-area edition of Macaroni Kid.
Since Next Size Up was founded, more than 1,000 area families have consigned their children’s items through the event. This season, more than 250 consignors will be participating.
Consignors register via the website (NextSizeUpKids.com), enter their items online, prepare them, and bring them in for inspection (all items are inspected for quality). They receive at least 60% of the sale price of their items, and can increase that to up to 75% by volunteering. Traditional consignor slots are now full, but "restock" consignors, who drop off their items on Friday, Oct. 2, are still being accepted.
Vendors from a variety of local family-oriented and home-based businesses will be on hand for each day of the sale, and non-perishable food items for the local “Daily Bread Food Pantry” will be collected. Next Size Up has always benefited charities. In addition to the food drive, many unsold items are donated to “Cradles to Crayons”, a Boston charity that gives the items directly to families in need.
