My first sale as a consignor was in F/W 2008 while pregnant with my 2nd son. Next season I found Twice Around the Block Sale. I've also done their sister sale Baby's Bottom Dollar Sale. I think to date, I've participated in 9 sales total! I've been able to provide my family with some great toys and clothes because of shopping consignment sales. Also with my consignor earnings I've been able to buy new toys and vacations. :)
In 2010 I lost my job as a special education teacher and decided to stay home with my son who has special needs himself. I encouraged a friend to participate in the sale and was helping her along the way. When it came to tagging and organizing her stuff for the sale she ran out of time and asked for my help. It just came easy to me and the idea hit. I jumped on the internet for some research and found there were no other independent tagging services in Oregon. I did find one in Tennessee but all the other tagging services were by sale owners. So, I asked around and everyone thought it was a great idea. I ran with it, and the next sale (F/W 2011) I put it into place and the ball just kept rolling without much of a push ;)
Now I'm excited to be affiliated with 3 sales across the Portland Metro area!

And that's it, I'm just seeing how far it goes, and so far so good!
