Now, HERE’s a resale shop with a personality!

July 13, 2012 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

This post appeared on my news feed on Facebook a few weeks back. Maybe it did on yours, as well.

Karen is sending out an S.O.S.!!! Our VP in charge of toys is on vacation and we need help putting together this army of Power Rangers! Bring in your boys to help us with the toys!

I loved the whole concept so much, I shared the photo and added this comment to my consignment and resale friends:

What a PERFECT way to get moms with kids in the shop, just as the summer starts… and to build community! Won’t the kids have FUN! Make a NOTE of this… I LOVE IT, which is suitable since it’s LOVE IT AGAIN!

Monique answered: The kids have a ball when they patiently try to “teach” us how to play. And that, of course, is just such fun for all of us here in the shop!

Love It Again is a Sponsor (Proud, I hope!) of HowToConsign.com, and you can visit her live link and Facebook link on our Directory of Professional Resalers.

    Hmmm seems like a good way to get Barbies and Bratz dressed and ready to sell! Just invite the girls in and have it all ready to be sorted out and set up. I now have a whole toy room to do this in!!!
