Wee-cycle Mart Consignment Events at AG Center for 18th time!
2 HUGE Kids and Ladies Consignment Sales to be held at same time in Westminster AG Center in April 15-17th
Westminster, MD – “Wee-cycle Mart, an innovative seasonal children's consignment event, featuring over 30,000 new and like items from maternity to teens is coming back to Carroll County at the AG Center, April 15-17th, 2016 for the 18th time.
And now introducing She-cycle Mart – Ladies clothing, accessories and home goods consignment sale for those young adults that have outgrown Wee-cycle Mart sizes, new college grads looking for a career wardrobe on a shoestring budget or those on a weight loss journey, looking for interim clothing!
The 2 events are totally separate but are held in conjunction with one another. Same location, dates, hours etc. but with a separate entrance and check outs, so that a woman buying 1 pair of shoes, doesn’t have to stand in line behind a mom buying an entire wardrobe for her kids.
This large community event, featuring over 150 local Westminster and surrounding area families contributing to the event is an awesome opportunity for moms and woman to clean out and cash in on their stuff that is too good to give away.
It is also an opportunity for moms and woman to buy gently used maternity and children's clothing and ladies clothing from petite to plus, as well as other related items “including toys, baby gear and sports stuff “at reasonable prices.
Brand names that Wee-Cycle Mart offer include Gap, Gymboree, Children's Place, Justice, Osh Kosh, Stride Rite, Aeropostle just to name a few.
Brand names at She-cycle Mart include Chico, Loft, Coach, American Eagle, Chaps and so many more! Many still have the tags on!
Consignors (local woman) at the event have the opportunity to earn up to 100% commission on their items; do not have to be at the sale to participate; and can choose to pick up their unsold items donate them to a local charity. For the last 8 years, the sales have supported the Westminster Rescue Mission by donating a plethora of items that are donated at the sale that need a good home. “It’s a WIN/WIN for the me, the consignor as I can make extra money and then get a tax deduction from the unsold items I pass on at the end of the event.” Says Shelley Goggans, a long-time consignor.
Consignor registration ends April 11th with a 2nd option to be a Friday re-stocker only on April 15th if the 1st deadline is missed.
If you're a mother-to-be who needs to stock up, or a mother whose attic is filled to the brim with bins of clothes the children have outgrown, this event is for you. We just finished our Baltimore County Sale 2 weeks ago and sales were up from last year 25%.
“We had record number of consignors, shoppers and items for sale.” said Blaney Teal, who co-owns the family business with her husband, Tim Teal. “In this economy, moms are not only looking for ways to get extra cash for their family but for ways to save big too! Wee-cycle Mart is the answer to both needs!”, stated Tim Teal.
Wee-cycle Mart also features Moms Fest on Saturday during the three-day sale. and adds to the allure of this event with Saturday only activities to include:
A wide array of specials and free stuff from local businesses including: Free Demos of Instantly Ageless, and giveaways from Scentsy, Jamberry, Thirty One, LuLaRoe, Perfectly Posh and more! Also included is a chance to win a basket of products worth over $200 from the vendors on Saturday only with the Saturday only Punch Card. Vendors can still join the event, http://www.wee-cyclemart.com/sponsors.html
In the She-cycle Mart event, there will be a Craft Show – new to the event this year. Handmade crafters can sell their treasures for just $45 for a 10x10 space for all 3 days. Crafters are still being accepted for this event, https://form.jotform.com/60424019429149
Why shop at Wee-Cycle Mart or She-cycle Mart? The answer is quite simple: Mrs. Teal is passionate about helping local woman not only make money but save money too. “Where else can you sell items and walk away with $1000 or more in your pocket from 3 days of sales or shop and spend $100 and get an entire wardrobe for 3 kids for the summer.” said Mrs. Teal.
Admission to the event is $1 with a bag of non-perishable food. Or $2 per adult. Kids free. One admission gets you into both events all 3 days and includes an entry for a chance to win a $50 shopping spree to next season sales.
