A Pro / Con review of As They Grow's 2x per year consignment sale: 03/23 to 03/25/12.
Pros:
1: They packed 80,000 sq ft with kids stuff and most of it is reasonably priced.
2: They had a good mix of boys and girls items. It wasn't biased towards more girls stuff as we've seen in other places.
3: Staff attitude: Service with smiles, and very helpful.
4: Parking. While a zoo at times, it's not bad either.
5: It's not just clothes. From infant items like bathing tubs to strollers to toys, they have all sorts of things. You really need to go in and look, don't assume they don't have something because chances are it's there.
Cons:
1: It's already been cherry picked before you get there. Volunteers get first crack at the good stuff. Yes that's a perk for volunteering but still...it's been picked over.
2: Pricing. While we found a few good things in here at reasonable prices, some items were ridiculous. A bit of advice to the sellers: Just because it says "Gap" or "Childrens Place" on the tag doesn't mean you can charge full price or maybe $2 less than full price for the item.
3: Holes and stains. Whomever checked the clothes missed quite a few holes and stains in the stuff we looked at. Make sure you inspect your clothes before you purchase them.
More advice: Look them up on Facebook and "Like" them. Then you get advance notice of when their twice yearly sale is happening. Next, go on a Friday if you can, Saturday if you have no other choice. By Sunday quite a bit of what's left is barely fit to pack up and send overseas or to recycle. But most of what's left is marked down to 50% off, price reduction is taken at the register.
Also they do take Mastercard and Visa as well as cash.
If you are a parent in Vegas this event is one that is worth your time.
