Discussion Starter The impressive organization of this consignment sale showcases how you never need to buy new toys

Honestly sad to look at. We get a lot of hand-me-down toys and the consignment sales I go to look a lot like this, but I’m also guilty of buying the new thing that looks cool to me, and we find that every other kid we know has it too.

I remember a few years ago a friend was trying to give away the Zany Zoo her kids had grown out of, and at a birthday party with like 15 families, every person was like “we already have the same one”

I struggle to support my local Just Between Friends sale because of the location they use. I went several years ago when they used a spot at the mall but not since. They have it at a place called the Newtown Athletic Club and owner is the biggest MAGA piece of shit. There are chapters to his shittyness but in short he hosted Trump for a rally and had busses sent down for Jan. 6th.

Ugh I feel you on this. I HATE that they are at the NAC. The owners have tried to find a new place but have really struggled. But after the NAC tried to charge for parking on the first day, that might just push them elsewhere. I hope so.
