What Is Half-Pint Resale?
Half-Pint Resale is a twice-yearly consignment event organized by local families for local families. With hundreds of consignors and tens of thousands of items, the sale is a one-stop shop for everything you need for babies, toddlers, and big kids—including toys, books, nursery furniture, strollers, baby gear, and more. The event is completely local and franchise-free, and 70% of the proceeds go right back to the consignors.
