Re-runs update....and then some...

So yesterday marked the first day of the sale. I'm off today so headed on over there. I got SO much stuff for $38.00. So as I was walking out, I see a group of people standing at the door, arms loaded with tagged goodies. They were all standing around this big table FILLING OUT SELLERS AGREEMENTS! Yup...I get another chance to bring my stuff in. YAY!!!!!!! 

I felt like I was speeding all the way home. Pulled into my carport and there it was...a door tag from FedEx. AAARRRGGGHHH I missed them. So I came into the house as fast as I could, dropping my purchases all over the kitchen floor, to get on the phone with fedex and beg them to come back. So what is soooooooo important you ask? Well mister fedex was delivering my brand new white mini laptop from dell! And according to the door tag, the shipment needed my signature. So I get on the phone and explain to Vanessa that I NEED this package. So what does she do? She gets on the phone and calls my local fedex shipment center and gets them to come back within the next hour! GO VANESSA! So I hate to make this SUPER short but I found some other stuff to tag and need to go do that. I'll be back tonight to post pics of the new laptop and pics of all the stuff I got today!

Later Gator!

ReRuns are FUN!

So yesterday on my to-do list I said I had to get everything ready to be dropped off at reruns. I had PLANNED to post about it last night while I was at work, but I had got surprisingly busy..on a thursday..very odd. 

Anyways..reruns. What is it you ask? Well its actually called reruns are fun. Its a city wide consignment type of sale that is held twice a year, spring and fall/winter. And its all KID STUFF! Its really cool. So here's the run down. Its our spring sale now. So I take all of juju and tank's "spring stuff" that doesn't fit, plus toys and other junk they don't use anymore (potty, toys, etc) and label them..which is a requirement. I get to price everything at what I would like to sell it at. The lowest price is $3.00. So you put the size, description, and price of the item on an index card and safety pin it to the clothing (tape if not clothing), and then hang the clothes on a hanger. Once I have everything priced and labeled I take it to the "sale place" which is in an old department store, where they separate everything by size, type (toys, books, strollers,etc), and gender. Now how do I make sure I get paid? There's also a "seller's code" that you have to write on the index card. Its your initials and the last 4 digits of your phone number. So when I get to the place, I fill out the seller's agreement..which is where I would list my sellers code so they can track my earnings. And just like any consignment store, reruns are fun takes 30% off the total you make. Not too shabby huh? This past fall/winter sale I made over $200! Besides clothes this year, I'm taking juju's potty, his old race car bed that he HATES (boo! it was so cute too), and tank's old stroller and infant car seat (only because we got this cool jeep double stroller). its totally a great idea, and as long as I sell stuff I can 'replace' stuff, which is ALWAYS cool!

Well party people, I got LOTS to do today. Just wanted to post like I said I would. If I get everything done in time, I promise to come back and play before going outta town!

Later gator!
