Tables and tables of new and gently used children's items at yard sale prices!!
We are excited to present the first Renfrew Parent to Parent Sale!!! This will be a huge event where parents can shop for their baby and kids needs at an affordable price! There will be numerous vendor tables of new and used clothes, toys, books, movies, and baby equipment+++
What is a Parent to Parent Sale?
This sale is an opportunity for parents to sell their gently used (or never-used) quality items to other parents with younger children or who are expecting. Vendors get to make money by selling items from their children's closets and playrooms, buyers get to purchase quality items in one location at a huge discount! It is like a huge garage sale of children's items! We do all the advertising, you get the target audience! You sell your items and make the profit from your goods! The only cost is the table rental fee. We expect to have a successful event with customers who are specifically looking to buy used baby and children’s items.
What to Sell:
- Infant & Kid’s clothing
- Maternity wear
- Large toys (kitchens, workbenches, playhouses, dolls houses, kids table & chairs)
- Outdoor toys (slides, basketball nets, ride on toys, bikes, wagons)

Other towns have had much success with Mom to Mom Sales and report that vendors have made over $500 in just one morning by selling items that their children have outgrown! Imagine!
The more successful vendors are those who bring only gently used items, price well and display them effectively. Shoppers will move on to another table if items are too well-loved or overpriced.
