Eau Claire Families Turn Clutter into Cash with Just Between Friends
Eau Claire, WI – Local families have a unique opportunity to declutter their homes and earn money doing it, thanks to Just Between Friends (JBF), a consignment retailer hosting a “Consignor Kick-off Party.” The event aims to equip parents with the tools and knowledge to sell gently-used children’s items, from infant to teen sizes.
The Rise of the Consignment Economy
The consignment market is booming as families increasingly seek affordable options for children’s goods and sustainable ways to manage their belongings. Rather than letting outgrown clothes and toys gather dust, parents are recognizing the financial benefits of resale. JBF provides a platform to connect these sellers with buyers looking for quality items at significant discounts – 50-90% off retail prices.
Kelly Kirk, the fresh owner of the Eau Claire franchise, emphasizes the value proposition for consignors. “I’m just so excited to help hard working American families put cash back into their pockets,” she stated. Kirk also noted that JBF aims to offer consignors a higher percentage return compared to other consignment retailers in the area.
How the JBF System Works
Consignors can earn 40 to 60 percent of the listed price for their items. JBF provides a free tagging kit for the first 100 items, streamlining the process for sellers. The Consignor Kick-off Party, scheduled for Thursday, February 26th from 4-7 p.m. At Sammy’s Pizza in Eau Claire, will offer guidance on tagging and preparing items for sale.
Beyond the financial benefits, JBF offers flexibility for consignors. Unsold items can be donated to Catholic Charities or returned to the owner. Importantly, tags are valid for two years, allowing consignors to participate in future sales without re-tagging.
The Spring Sale Details
The spring sale will take place from Thursday, April 30th to Sunday, May 3rd at the Eau Claire County Expo Center. This pop-up event provides a convenient, one-stop shopping experience for families seeking affordable children’s clothing, toys, shoes, books and baby gear.
