I sent a box of spring stuff to the local consign store to try to get rid of things. They took 2 of a 3 part item set, took a dress but not the shirt and a few other things like that went with other things as well (so took tops but not bottoms) leaving me with a bunch of stuff that still is stain free and spring clothing at least to me as in early spring I wouldn't put sun dresses and shorts on a kid.

GGGGGGGRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always tell my consignment store to keep sets together. If they don't want both pieces to send them back. That really irks me. Sorry.

We dropped off and had a crabby toddler so couldn't say that. I had it paired up too of everything that went together and it looked as if my toddler went through the box when we got it later....

Weird - I work at a consignment store, and we much prefer sets to single items! In fact, in some sizes, we won't even take things that aren't sets. That is really annoying!

Well it was long &short sleeve shirts & pants. Took dress but not shirt, took onesie but not pants........ glad to hear it isn't all stores.

Oh gosh.......I found a local mama with a DD a year younger then mine and just pass down everything to her.......I'm so thankful I don't have to deal with consigning or anything like that. It's great for both of us because she gets a lot of free clothes and every so often, she buys me a Starbucks gift card

I hate that. I bought a shirt from a consignment store. When I got home, I noticed it was stained. Washed it, got the stain out and tried it on DD. Didn't fit her so I brought it back in with some other stuff to sell to them and they said the shirt wasn't good enough condition. I bought it in worse condition... really??
