JBF Sale question

I have never consigned or shopped at a JBF event before but I got a flyer at Maddie's school today.  Can someone tell me how it works?  Do I drop off my stuff before the event?  Do I price it or do they?  Are the sales donated to charity or do the consignees receive the money?

TIA!

    You price the cloths and take them in before the sale.  You get the sales minus a a percentage that goes to JBF.  If you volunteer you get a higher percentage of the sales.

    I almost tried to sell stuff in the one earlier this month on the northside.  There is a lot of information on their website.  You price everything and print your own tags.  You then drop off a couple of days before the sale.  At the end of the sale you can specify if you want the unsold items back or donated.  I believe you receive a check maybe a couple weeks later of what sold.

    It was this past weekend. The next one is the JBF North, I believe. You can google that + Houston to get the details. It's somewhere near Willowbrook Mall and is one of the biggest in the Houston area. Since I have 2 bins full of stuff already tagged, I think I am going to make the drive out for this sale.

    So far by dropping at the central sale and the west side sale, I've made about $400. That's kind of "eh" for the man hours I've put in but I've done a total of 3 central sales and 2 west side sales over 3 years and made more than $2k. Once all your stuff is tagged, taking it from one sale to another is pretty easy...

    JBF is Just Between Friends. The different areas of Houston have them at different times. It's basically like a huge garage sale for clothes/toys/other baby & kid type items.

    I'm OOT this weekend or I totally would.

    I had A LOT of stuff, especially the 1st sale. I made $700 that one time. Since them, it's more in the $200-400 range and will dwindle with time. It might get to the point where the tagging effort isn't worth it anymore but I like being in control of my own prices and 60% back is a heck of a lot better than the 40% I get at the local consignment shop!
