As They Grow

Tips: don’t pay the $ 2 admission fee, just FB check in to get in for free. If you want big ticket items like strollers for cheap… buy the VIP pass for $ 20 to get in early or consign. Or stalk the website to get in for the new mom presage.
Great deals if your willing to do some digging. Got a fisher price jungle playmat for $ 15 in almost brand new condition. The normal retail is $ 50…I should know since I went and returned the one I just got from target :). Most of the items are used but you can definitely find new with tag items or lightly used items. I also got goumikids mittens for $ 1.50 each pair and the normal retail is $ 12.00 a pair. I also got a car seat canopy cover for $ 3 and a boppy nursing cover for $ 6. There’s an overwhelming amount of kids clothes, if you have the patience to go through them. I bought two holiday dresses with tags still on them for $ 5 each. Probably best to go early Friday to get best selection or early Saturday since they restock in the evening. If your not too picky but want cheap clothes… I’m guessing the Sunday 50% off sale will be the best deal! If you hate long lines to get in, don’t go at 10am or if you hate waiting to pay… this is not the place for you. Happy shopping!

Terrible for consigning. You spend hours prepping your items only to have them refuse half for normal wear and tear and only receive 65% of your sales for all the work that you do… You have to overprice your items to even make a decent sale. Next time I’ll just have a garage sale and save myself all the work of tagging and the $ 10 fee you have to pay to sell your items.

This sale used to be so incredibly great. But I’m sad to say they have really gone downhill. They now have so many pre sales, (now you can buy your way into a presale, but I’m coming here to save money people!) that by the time they open to the public there is truly nothing but junk left. I went right at opening this morning, (on opening day) and found 1 convertible car seat, and 1 high chair! Seriously?! I waited for an hour to look at 1 car seat? I think they need to get rid of the new mom presale. I need car seats and strollers just as much as a new mom… Plus it’s so easy for people to abuse that presale. I mean, how do they actually verify that you are a new mom?
Plus I feel the quality control has really gone down hill. A lot of the items seemed very dirty. I’ve consigned in the past and they used to be pretty good at filtering out the poor items and out of season clothing. But today I found tons of worn clothes and lots of stains. It was a lot of searching to find little worth taking home.
If you can get in on a presale, then definitely go and find some deals. It’s worth it then. Good selection and shorter lines.
But …if you can’t get in on a pre sale, don’t waste your time in my opinion. And if you happen to work and can’t get there until Friday evening or Saturday morning… sorry folks, you are SOL because you will be scraping the bottom of the barrel to find even one decent item to take home. All you will find are items that none of the thousands of other shoppers wanted because they are either… in too poor condition, or way, way overpriced.

Ive been going to these sales since sept 2011. My son is now 3 and most of his toys and clothes are from this company. They have saved us so much and the quality sold is always great. I also consign and payback is great. Staff is also awesome. Thanks atg

I have consigned here for a while now. There are defintely positives. You can get rid of kids stuff you dont use anymore or have never used and make a couple bucks. However, it does take quite a bit of prep to organize, enter, hang, steam, or clean all your items. I have been doing this and expect it now. Where my disappointment comes in is when the last sale I came to pick up my unsold items and was instructed that i had to search each section for my consignors number and find my all my things. This is super confusing and unorganized. Especially when you come in with kids. Its used to be that all your items would be grouped together ahead of time. Then this current sale, I dropped off my items and was instructed that we now have to put all our clothes on the tacks ourselves too. They put the clothes that they dont accept on a different rack w other peoples clothes. When i asked where my unaccepted clothes were put, the lady told me, then I went to put them in my bin and the lady said I could not take them until I was on my way out the door. Insinuating that I was going to put them on the rack even though they were not accepted. Yuck! All this extra part on the consignors, with the same cut, and were treated like were trying to be shady for 4 unaccepted items. Again… Yuck!

I’ve only been to this event 3x’s (2-​Henderson & 1-Summerlin)but I am hooked, I’ve never consigned but I am debating to do so this year. I have gotten great things for both of my kids and I am looking forward to going in September!

They do great marketing which leads to a bigger check for me as a consignor.
Items selections are not so great if you only come on the «Open for public» days, when they basically have left over items that are not so great and sometimes not priced right also.
If you volunteer or shop on the Consignor night, you get better items.
They’re very organized administratively. Operationally, it just depends on the personality of their volunteers. Some of them are really nice while some of them are kind of rude.
I lost a few items. Items were not sold and they were not returned. Checked the «lost & found» section when I picked up my stuff and I didn’t find any of my missing items.

Love the ATG sale. And I love telling my friends about it even more. Some have never heard, and when I bring them they wonder what rock they’ve been under… My kids have been growing like weeds this year, so I cannot wait to shop the Spring sale in March. I usually sell, volunteer, and buy. Even if I don’t sell, I will volunteer. It is super fun to be able to see what is up for grabs, plus it is extremely convenient to shop early! I always bring my double jogger stroller minus the kids, so that I have plenty of room to put things. I leave my purse and home, and just bring my money and keys with me. All the volunteers are so helpful on the floor, and everything is in order by gender/​size.
As far as selling, I have sold in the past and have no complaints with the process. It’s fast, convenient, and it’s nice to make money then purchase stuff at the sale. Even when I don’t think I am going to sell, I end up putting a few things together the night before the portals close and end up logging $ 400 worth of stuff. Definitely worth it! I like that you can see what you’ve made from the sale at the end of the day.

Been going for 3 years, both Summerlin and Henderson… I look forward to it every year, I’m on a tight budget so shopping here makes me feel like I won a lottery :)
My personal tip: Try to go on the pre-​sale, you’ll find the best selections! And go again on the last day Sunday, where most items are 50% off, its the left overs but theyre’s still decent selections and nice finds.

They’re here from 10÷12÷12 — 10÷14÷12 9850 S. Maryland Parkway, Las Vegas, NV, 89 183. They have these sales twice a year for those who wants to save big on used baby items. They have everything from crib comforters to strollers! I love going to these events especially on their 50% off days! I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for affordable baby items.

Ok — so if you haven’t heard of this place before — it’s a HUGE hidden treasure for those on a budget (or those wanting to save the extra bucks).
You do have to pay an admission fee ($ 2) unless you are associated with the military. There is another exemption but I forgot what it was already.
A friend had referred me to this place, for the early access before it went to the public — and I was NOT disappointed at ALL!!! I spent probably a good 2 – 3 hours rummaging through all the clothes, shoes, and strollers!
Now to the pros and cons for this sale:
a) Very easy to find — next to Toys R Us off of Meadows Lane — VERY hard to miss this lot!
b) 80,000 sq ft crammed with goodies — premes, infants, toddlers, kids (mostly elementary age); bedding, infant supplies (breast pumps, gliders, strollers, bath tubs, wall décor, etc) It is a great balance of stuff really for what you are looking for!
c) Staff — extremely pleasant, lots of smiles, and very eager to assist you (especially if you have that «I don’t know about this one» kind of look on your face!) If you have big items you are going to purchase (furniture, strollers, etc.) you can pull the tag on the item, and then have it go to the back door for pick up later on after you check out! Checking out — staff are very friendly and willing to assist you if you have large loads. The day I went, i had more than I could carry out — but they were very accommodating to me by placing the bags with the gals at the exit for them to watch until I could load the other purchases up and have some extra hands! (had kid, stroller, and one bag to carry, while balancing another on top of stroller!)
d) Rest Rooms available — and the ladies rooms is even set up with a couch for those moms who breastfeed.
Cons:
a) for the bedding supplies — most is already packaged up and taped up — so you cannot really do a quality check on it before you make your purchase. I found this out the hardway — as a couple of the sheets I had purchased had been worn down pretty badly to the point they had holes in them by the seams. Granted — ya can’t see it — but makes me wonder how much service I will be able to get out of them.
b) Get the advanced entrance! If you don’t — then you will most likely not find the right things you are searching for. I didn’t get entrance until 2pm — and a lot of good stuff had already walked out — but I was still able to find some great deals — just wish I had been there sooner!
c) Be wary of the pricing some folks use! As most of this is ‘hand me down’ style — some people try to capitalize on the designer name, or the images. For example — found a cute bed set with the Care Bears logo — the seller had stated it was ‘vintage’ and was asking almost triple the cost of what it should have been for the wear and tear appearance it had. Another seller — had a toddler Christmas dress — marked at full market price — when it was clearly worn before, and was from this past Christmas’ design. So — do look at the price tag before purchase!
Extra Tips:
As with any clothes shopping — make sure the clothes and shoes fit right on your wee one before you make the purchase!
Double check your merchandise before you purchase! Some of the shoes and clothes — even though they look great at a distance — will have some stains, scuffs on them.
— — — —
Finally — they do accept credit (Visa or Mastercard) here on top of cash!
Now if you don’t think you are going to get your money’s worth here — let me share what I had purchased!
Full crib bed set (quilt, bumper, 5 wall hangings, wall paper decorative strip, 2 fitted sheets, mattress protector, dust ruffle, mobile); another crib bed set (quilt, sheets, wall décor); dust ruffle; 6 fitted crib sheets; 2 infant sleepers; 2 toddler X-​mas dresses (1 formal, 1 all around); 2 sets of toddler shoes; 1 jacket; 1 coat; 1 leapster educational tool — books included; 1 Tinker bell sleep over bag w/​pillow; 1HK Bingo game; 3 — 4 winter clothing (jeans/​long sleeves) outfits; and 1 baby trend twin stroller (fully assembled, no glitches, all parts) — all under $ 300
(you spend at least $ 150 or more for a full crib set at any retailer these days unless you are getting the last one in stock or something on crazy sale!)
Look ‘em up on FB, like ‘em! Happy shopping!

A Pro /​Con review of As They Grow’s 2x per year consignment sale: ⁰³⁄₂₃ to 03÷25÷12.
Pros:
1: They packed 80,000 sq ft with kids stuff and most of it is reasonably priced.
2: They had a good mix of boys and girls items. It wasn’t biased towards more girls stuff as we’ve seen in other places.
3: Staff attitude: Service with smiles, and very helpful.
4: Parking. While a zoo at times, it’s not bad either.
5: It’s not just clothes. From infant items like bathing tubs to strollers to toys, they have all sorts of things. You really need to go in and look, don’t assume they don’t have something because chances are it’s there.
Cons:
1: It’s already been cherry picked before you get there. Volunteers get first crack at the good stuff. Yes that’s a perk for volunteering but still… it’s been picked over.
2: Pricing. While we found a few good things in here at reasonable prices, some items were ridiculous. A bit of advice to the sellers: Just because it says «Gap» or «Childrens Place» on the tag doesn’t mean you can charge full price or maybe $ 2 less than full price for the item.
3: Holes and stains. Whomever checked the clothes missed quite a few holes and stains in the stuff we looked at. Make sure you inspect your clothes before you purchase them.
More advice: Look them up on Facebook and «Like» them. Then you get advance notice of when their twice yearly sale is happening. Next, go on a Friday if you can, Saturday if you have no other choice. By Sunday quite a bit of what’s left is barely fit to pack up and send overseas or to recycle. But most of what’s left is marked down to 50% off, price reduction is taken at the register.
Also they do take Mastercard and Visa as well as cash.
If you are a parent in Vegas this event is one that is worth your time.
