Consignors Win

Consignors participating in Rhea Lana’s Children’s Consignment events reap a number of benefits from the company’s unique approach.

Consignors can:

  • Select the price of each item they choose to sell in the event.
  • Choose whether they want to sell items for half price on the final days of the sale.
  • Track their sales in real time online or on their smartphone because of the innovative bar-coding system developed by the company.
  • Earn 70%-80% of the sale price and be paid the same week the item is sold.
  • Relax knowing their items are guaranteed against loss.

Shoppers Win

Shoppers visiting Rhea Lana’s Children’s Consignment events benefit from a huge selection of high-quality, gently used children’s merchandise including:

  • Spring/Summer name brand and boutique children’s, teen and maternity clothing items.
  • Great buys on children’s furniture.
  • A selection of nursery bedding, maternity clothing, nursing accessories, infant equipment (such as strollers, high chairs, car seats and portable cribs), as well as toys, children's books, video games and sports accessories.
  • Unique Vendors as well as goody bags that will be distributed to early shoppers.

Needy Families Win

“One of the most fulfilling things we do after each event is to donate thousands of lovely children’s items to nonprofit organizations who give them directly to families in need,” explained Mitchell. “Our remaining items will be donated to foster children in southwest Missouri.” Not only are we giving families a chance to de-clutter closets and earn money for their gently used items, we are also giving parent volunteers an opportunity to connect and network with other moms and dads in their area.”
