Wanna Hear What I Sound Like?

Written on September 28, 2011 by cori in Toys and Togs Sale, video

I don’t really care for what I sound like when I’m video-taped. It’s extremely high pitched and squeaky. Hurts my ears! So here is a rare listen of what I sound like!

This video is for an upcoming consignment sale, where I’m teaching sellers how to properly tag (price) and get ready for the sale!!

Toys & Togs Totals

Written on April 17, 2010 by cori in Blogger, elkins, jaime, munro's, Toys and Togs Sale, Vacations

I’m writing this while stuffing my face with Wendy’s sitting at Sea-Tac waiting for 4:30 when I can board my flight to Spokane. A bit annoyed that security confisgated my hair products, but what can I do? Not much…oh well!
I think this will be my plane, it’s another commuter plane where you get to walk on the ‘runway’ to get on the plane. I’ve only been on one, once before when we went home from Disneyland last year!
Anyway, Brandi, Alex & I went to card-count today for the Toys & Togs Sale last Saturday and I have to say everyone did really well!

Emoms: $68k, not the highest ever grossing sale, last fall it was over $80k, but still nothing to frown about! *they now have to pay the sellers, pay for rental fees,etc. so I’m not sure how much they actually get to keep*

Charity: $375.00 total and she’ll get a check for $338.15 (she made 90% as a team-lead, Emoms keeps 10%). Charity didn’t sell much this sale, because her girls aren’t going through clothes as fast! It’s crazy the day finally came when she is about done with the sale!

Julia & Jaime: $2,630.75 total and Julia will get a check for $2,367.68 (she made 90% as a team-lead, Emoms keeps 10%). I did a quick tally of Jaime’s cards and we figure Julia will end up keeping about $1,900 and Jaime about $650 of the total amount. We won’t know exact numbers until we get the cards back.

Not to shabby for anyone though!! I wish it was my money! Okay I better pack up my stuff, hit the potty and then go wait to board the plane…Spokane…here I come!

Toys and Togs Summary

Written on April 11, 2010 by cori in alex, Blogger, brandi, jaime, Toys and Togs Sale

I’m pooped!! I have been on my feet moving since 630 this morning! Now it’s 7:15 and I am already to crash! What a busy day! I chaired toys with my silent partner Paul, because Charity had to go down to Portland with the girls. Brandi assisted me in toys, Alex was as bagger (the hardest job out there in my opinion), Jaime worked in equiptment and Julia ran the members table! At one point the checkout line was so long I was pulled out of toys to cashier, so that was a nice change of scenery, but the pressure! I was freaked out I’d make a mistake!

The sale went really well! Julia, Charity & Jaime brought (total) 4 SUVs and 1 car full of stuff to sell! And I would say 80% sold! We’ll see next Saturday during card counting for totals! Still guess (just Julia) will make $2k! Jaime knows she already pocketed $260 for sure in big items, plus LOTS of colthes! All of Julia’s big items sold except for her changing table, but she just plans on posting it on Craigstlist and I have no doubt it’ll sell! Charity didn’t have much to sell this year, it was amazing! I think she ended up taking 3 bins of clothes home, so she did really well too!! Like I said, I can’t wait for next week!

Until next time…..

Tagging Frenzy

Written on April 6, 2010 by cori in Blogger, brandi, elkins, jaime, munro's, Toys and Togs Sale

That’s what today was like for me! The sale is on Friday and I’ve been a tagging fool today!

Jaime came over to my house to help me work on Julia’s clothes. We worked for almost 4 hours, and when we finished were 90% done with her clothes! Tonight before I went to bed I finished tagging the remaining clothes (maybe 10 items) and then bagged a few piles up. I have probably 30 items of clothing to hang and then bag up, plus a huge pile of onsies that still need to be sorted, bagged and tagged. I hope to finish all of Julia’s clothes tomorrow night! It’ll be such a great feeling to be done but also to get my room back – lol! I look like I should go on that show The Hoarders with my piles of plastic garbages bags strewn across my room!

Tonight Brandi & I went to Charity’s to help her with tagging. Boy the lady has hardly anything to sell compared to years ago when we had TONS! We got a good amount done tonight and she is going to have the girls go through their clothes and stuff tomorrow and we’ll reconvine on Wednesday to finish up!

Last night (see I told you I’ve been in a tagging frenzy), I went to Jaime’s to help her finish up tagging her stuff. All she needs to do now is hang her clothes and then sort by size. Brandi & Jaime are going to try and finish that all up tomorrow evening.

I the sale, but the prep leading up to it can be a killer! Especially since we all wait until basically the week of, to start preparing! Oh well, that’s what makes it fun….isn’t it?

I think a bomb went off in my room

Written on March 30, 2010 by cori in Blogger, brandi, munro's, Toys and Togs Sale

NO I’m not going on vacation! I have 90% of Julia’s kids clothes that her kids have outgrown for the upcoming EMOMS Toys & Togs Sale. Why, you ask do I have all of her stuff? Well after the holidays, then my back to back vacations, and now Julia’s whole family is really sick there’s not a lot of time left to tag. I offered to take the clothes home with me that still needed to be done and help her out.

Tonight Brandi & I tagged, we got through about 4.5 garbage bags full of clothes and have a 5 to still do…but that’s just what is in my room. The trunk of my car is fill with about this many bags still! We’re going to be busy the next week! On top of helping Julia out, Brandi & I are helping Charity & Jaime prepare for the sale. By the time the sale comes and goes, I’ll be VERY done with tagging!

If you are wondering what the Emoms (Eastside Moms of Multiples) Toys & Togs Sale is here is the blurb on their website www.emoms.org.

EMOMs’ Toys & Togs Sale is held twice each year, once in the spring and once in the fall. The sale, which is open to the public, provides an amazing opportunity for you to pick up gently used (and sometimes brand new) items, just about anything on your shopping list for baby or child – including:

maternity clothing

nursery finishing’s/decor

high chairs & boosters

strollers, infant carriers, and backpacks

>100 racks of infant and children’s clothing

infant gear

Toys & games

Books & CD’s

Car seats

Approximately 150 EMOMs members sell items at each sale, keeping a portion of the proceeds from the sale of their own items. The remainder of the proceeds covers the cost of the sale and helps EMOMs fund club programs for families with multiples.

What can you expect as a shopper?
This is not your usual garage sale! If you haven’t shopped at an EMOMs Toys & Togs Sale before, get ready for some serious shopping. The venue is set up like a baby/children’s department store, with like items grouped together and clothing hanging on more than 120 clothing racks, organized by size, filling 2 basketball courts to the brim.

Be aware: because of the variety, price, and quality of items, this sale is well-known and very popular. As a result, the sale can be very busy for the first several hours.

For pictures of the Fall 2009 sale, please check out HERE! I blogged after the event last year! The amount of items for sale is absolutely mind boggling! For more blog posts from the past couple years of Emoms Toys and Togs Sales, please click HERE. Or you can always get more information from the Emoms public website at www.emoms.org.

For those of you in the King County/Seattle area, with small children I HIGHLY recommend you attend this sale! You won’t be disappointed!
