How much time and effort go into preparing and selling items?
Although it takes time to enter and tag items, you would be surprised at how much time Mommy's Market saves you! When participating in a garage or flea market sale you have to stay at the sale all day! However, with Mommy's Market you drop off and pick your items up! Also, we have a barcode system so you don't have to write out hundreds of tags! Just print the tags from your computer, six at a time! You can also keep unsold items for the next sale and you don't have to print new tags!

What supplies do I need to be a seller?
To be a seller you need a home computer/printer to print your barcode tags (if you don't have a printer, we can print the barcodes for you for a small fee). You need 65lb, 67lb, or 110lb white paper to print the tags on (found at any store that sells office supplies). Tags will be applied to clothing with a tagging gun ($10 from Mommy's Market or get one on ebay etc) and all clothing will need to be hung on WIRE children's hangers (Maternity items and larger childrens clothes need to be hung on adult WIRE hangers). You can purchase tagging guns and children's hangers from Mommy's Market. Shoes, accessories, and small toys will need to be placed in large Ziploc bags. After the sale, any items that did not sell will be placed into a plastic container or box labeled with your seller number (Handy to store your items in until the next sale).

Do I get the wire hangers back after the sale?
No. We pride ourselves on keeping our lines short and quickly moving. Therefore, all hangers will go with the sold items.

Why should I volunteer?
When you volunteer just four hours of your time you make 10% more!!! This is very beneficial for sellers who have many items. However volunteers get to go in first to our presale ( Half an hour before all other sellers!), so you may want to volunteer just to get to shop early for the best selection!

Can a friend or my husband volunteer in my place?
Sure! We don't mind if someone volunteers in your place.

 Can I bring my children or a friend to the presale?
Children are welcome to come with you for the general public sale. However, children will NOT be allowed to attend the times for the presale.  The presale is an exclusive event for our sellers and soon to be moms and we would like this event to be child free to allow moms the opportunity to shop without worrying about the little ones. This is "Mom's night out"!!!!! We also can not allow guests to attend the presale. 
 
What is different about Mommy's Market?
Our sellers can sign up ONLINE and our barcoding system is up YEAR ROUND!Therefore you can start tagging a few days after the sale in preperation for the next sale! Sellers checks are ready when sellers pick up un-sold items! (no more waiting up to 14 days!!!) Mommy's Market is also easier for buyers due to the amount of organization that goes into the market sale. All clothing will be grouped by gender and size on racks, no more digging through piles of clothing and squeezing past rows and rows of clothing to get to your child's size!Mommy's Market is also known for having SHORT and efficient lines! Not only does Mommy's Market offer a high commission on items sold, we also offer sellers the opportunity to earn 100% commission! We also provide friendly service for our consignors and buyers!

How does your referral program work?
 When you refer a seller who registers to sell items with Mommy's Market you make an additional 5%, up to 100%! So for example, if you are already volunteering to make 75%, if you refer 5 sellers who sign up to consign with Mommy's Market you will make 100% commission on your items sold!!!! You just need to be listed as the referral source on the seller registration. For more information see the details under sellers.

Can I only sell items that are of the current season?
 Items sold at the fall sale must be fall/winter items and items sold in the spring sale must be spring/summer items. However, each seller may enter 10 items that may not be considered "of that season". Therefore you may sell swimsuits in the fall and light jackets in the spring.  As a parent I have found it frustrating when I am looking for something that I need but can't find because it is considered a seasonal item (ie swimsuits!).


Where are the supply meetings held?
Supply meetings are usually held at the sale location in the parking lot. However, we require that you RSVP and we will inform you of the location at that time.
