  Highly recommend Sweet Repeat in Buckhead. That is the only consignment shop I have found with quality stuff and crazy good prices. They have a ton of baby clothing, shoes and such including maternity. I think Tuesday is their extra 10% off day. Good luck.

  Welcome and congratulations!  Twins are awesome. :-)  I'm not sure what part of town you're in, but I highly recommend joining the parents of multiples group in your area.  (I belong to the Intown group, but I also know there are groups in North Fulton, North Metro, Gwinnet, and I'm sure south of the city).  The Multiples groups have great consignment sales, and if you belong to the group, you get to shop before the general public, and often pregnant moms get to get in even earlier.  The Intown consignment sale is Sat, Feb 25th and it's a great sale, the North Metro and North Fulton sales are even bigger. Good luck!

  Also, the All4Kids sales start at the end of February.  The one at the Cobb Fairgrounds is massive, but go early.

  Welcome to the board and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!

  I second Sweet Repeats.  I started stocking up there about 6 months before my little guy was born and just started selling there too.  It's great and they have a good selection.  Definitely sign up for their newsletter to get the discount codes!  I know they will start having spring/summer items in within the next few weeks or so but you might call.

  www.thebargainwatcher.com is my favorite site for searching consignment sales.  All of the churches in my area put their listings on there for spring and fall.

  Not sure where you are located but my favorite to both sell and shop at in my area is Born Again Blessings at the Civic Center in Marietta.  www.bornagainblessings.com .  I always sell most of my stuff in this one and do better than any of the others I've tried.  Plus I like that they donate the money they make to their charity and give me a tax write off for the portion I donated.

  I've shopped All4Kids East Cobb and Rhea Lana sales for two years now.  I got my son's Halloween costume for $3.50!!! Stick with brands you know and try to guage what a "good consignment price" is for an item before you go too crazy. $5 PJs may seem like a bargain until you find $3 PJs.

  Since you're a new/soon to be mom you can sign up to get in to most sales early. Kind of a preview sale. Getting in early is always a good thing! You can also get in early if you volunteer to work the sale. Usually a 4 hour shift and the more shifts you work, the earlier you shop. I volunteered last yer. It was a little boring but if you have a lot of items or hard to find things you want, totaly worth it.

  They can be overwhelming if you don't know what you need/want. So try to be prepared with a list. Seriously, they have everything from clothes, to stollers to  used (eww) breast pumps! Also, there is no such thing as shopping carts so bring a laundry basket with a rope or something tied to it so you can drag your bargains behind you as you shop.

   HTH!
