THOUGHTS ABOUT LONG LINES......

Posted by consigningtime on February 21, 2010 at 8:44 AM

YES - at some sales there are very long lines.  If you go to one of the bigger sales on the first day of the sale - then you are going to stand in line for a long time.  There are just too many people trying to shop at the same time on the first day and the cash registers are manned by volunteers which results in a long wait. 


If you go on the first day, bring a snack, a bottle of water, and plan to make a new friend while waiting in line.  The positive of going the first day is you are seeing a HUGE amount of stuff and get a wonderful selection. NOW - I personally stopped attending the FIRST day of huge sales several years ago.  I just do not enjoy waiting in line that long and what I discovered is that because there is SO much stuff that if I wait until the second day there are still lots of good things still there.  In fact, the best part to me is the Half-Price day because there are so many great clothes left you can grab a real bargain.


The wonderful thing about our area is that we have a great variety of sales and there is something for everyone!  Try to be patient and enjoy the fun of consignment. 


HAPPY SHOPPING!

I agrere with the long lines comment, but I also feel like I missed out on something if I don't go the first day. I drive from Clarksville and just try to make a day in Nashville. Thanks for your great website that simplifies my addiction of consignment sale shopping. I love a good bargain!

I am a new mom and am just getting into "consigning." There is almost a controlled panic (if that is even possible :-) when I get to the sale on the first day! There is so much to see, other mothers jockeying for position, long lines, and because I'm still nursing, limited time for me to be there. The selection is great, but I agree with you, there are still amazing deals later in the sale! However, I'll be standing in the long line at Once Around the Block if you need me :-)

Julie-great post! I personally hate our long lines during presale and opening day and we are constantly working to make those lines go faster. I have to remind myself that with that many people shopping, there is going to be a line, but I totally understand people's frustration as well. I agree with you, if you don't want to stand in line PLEASE visit those big sales later in the week. I know we get restock and there is still some great stuff left several days in! Take care and have fun shopping!!
