Did anyone go to the Kids Kloset event this weekend? Curious how it was
I had a ticket and completely forgot about it bc I had too many things on my phone calendar for Friday and it got pushed out of view.
If you went, how was it?

Re: Did anyone go to the Kids Kloset event this weekend? Curious how it was
yes!! my first time, I thought it was great! Got an awesome play yard for my 8 month old, same games, puzzles and books for my 3 year old and a ton of clothes.
Clothes were either hit or miss. If you were there early, awesome finds but I could see they were going to be picked through quickly.
I WAS surprised by the condition of some of the clothes  stains, rips. I think they do need to do a better sorting job before putting some of that stuff out there.
Overall, very good! I'd go back

I have sold and bought for the past few ones, 3 or 4.
They changed the way they accepted clothes for this one - they used to look the clothes over while you were standing there and give you back any that didn't pass inspection. But now they do it later, so I ended up buying a shirt with paint spatters and I was selling a pair of pants that they said had a stain on it when it really didn't. Frustrating.
I agree w/you maymamma, it is GREAT for bigger stuff like playhouses, strollers, et.c, and there is always a large selection of toys.

Re: Did anyone go to the Kids Kloset event this weekend? Curious how it was
I went -- it was good for things like puzzles, smaller toys, etc. I also got DS some pj's.
But some of the bigger items (i was hoping for a step 2 rollercoaster) were not in great shape nd i thought they were kind of pricey. They did have one, but it was $70 and super faded and slightly dirty... Walmart has it brand new for $99. they had a play kitchen that was missing most of the stickers and was faded for $70 as well. Don't get me wrong, for $30, i would have purchased... but not when it's almost the same price as the item brand new.
I would definitely go back next year, though.

I agree with you over the rollercoaster being faded, but as far as the dirty part. I personally didnt think it was that bad since it's outside anyway. We just bought new from .
As far as the kitchen goes, all the parts were on order & the sign on it said so. I was not the seller but just don't want to give any future people the wrong idea.

I sold a playyard. Did you buy mine? Haha I sold a square red one with bugs on it.
The clothes are def hit or miss. I volunteered in the last few & sold LOTS of toys my twins have outgrown & made alittle over $300.

You can get a brand new Step 2 Rollercoaster from BBB for $80 if you use a coupon

Keep in mind that the people selling set the prices, so it is hit or miss in that area too lol!!

no this one is a pale blue and off white 
my ONLY other complaint ... THE LINE TO PAY! We waited over 1.5 hours on line to pay.

Re: Did anyone go to the Kids Kloset event this weekend? Curious how it was
I had very specific things in mind, got there early on Friday, & was happy with the selection & prices asked. The staff were wonderful!!! I'm 8 months pregnant & everyone was very helpful. But the LINE...my (also 8 m preggo) friend & I waited for about an hour. But someone came down the line w bottled water & we were very grateful. We both had a great experience & I will def continue to attend and purchase & eventually I plan to consign.

Ita, I paid $90 for my rollercoaster brand new, so $70 used sounds silly. It seems like some of the pricing is on par with Facebook buy/sell groups- which I also find priced high.
