Molly’s

Tackle-the-Sale Tips Top 3 Tips for Consigning 1. Presentation. Take the time to wash and iron your clothing items, secure your items to the hangers, zip the zippers, button the buttons. 2. Price your items to sell. Our average selling price on clothing is $3.50. Avoid what we call "emotional taggage" and just remember all the money you will make when you sell your items. I know a couple of families that used some of their earnings to help pay for a vacation!

Behind The Brand Molly is originally from GreenHill, Alabama. After high school, Molly moved to Auburn where she attended Auburn University and majored in Agronomy and Public Relations. My Mommy Mart’s distinguishing colors are orange and blue, in homage to her alma mater.

3. Clean out the toy box and bookshelf. We sold over 150 books and 450 toys at the last sale.

Top 3 Tips for Shopping 1. Be prepared. Take inventory of your kids’ closets. Bring a laundry basket, measure your kids’ inseams and feet before you leave the house. 2. Look for early shopping opportunities. At My Mommy Mart, we offer early shopping times for volunteers, consignors, new moms, and we have a "sneak peek" sale. Our ticket profits for the "sneak peek" sale go to a local women's shelter. 3. Be nice and be patient. Most of the workers at the sale are volunteer moms - just like you!
