Small store. Nice clothes selection. Small toy selection. Nicely displayed. I went for toys and just not very many. read more

I've been a KX shopper for 8 years and I love it - but you do need to know some tips. It's a huge sale and sellers can be shady so here's some times to remember: Shopping early gets you the best selection and prices. It's worth volunteering for a few hours especially when you need larger equipment or toys. Pay cash to save the processing fee Bring your own wagon because carts are limited. Take items you want to test or open to the info desk and the staff can help you check them Plan on a long day. There's a restaurant for a reason. Have snacks and water and plan for a longer line (afternoons have the shortest wait to checkout. Overall it's an amazing way to get some money back as a seller for things I won't waste my time on meeting people for. I love saving money and hunting for a bargain but just be smart about checking items because it is all sales final. read more

Please do not sell here! Just recently was a seller--dropped off MANY high end clothes to this sale with fair prices and received a VERY small check. I believe people are swiping clothes! They don't even track any of the sales online so you can check on your items. Waste of time!!! read more

Kid's Exchange is the LARGEST kid/baby consignment sale in the US, and it is simply amazing. It's well organized and well known, and as a consignor and/or a buyer, resell is a HUGE opportunity to make/save money. There are always some things you want new for your baby and kids, but toys/books/clothing/so many other things are so much less expensive at consignment, allowing you to spend money on experiences and childcare and things that are really valuable. Be prepared, this is not a one-hour quick dash shopping trip. It's best if you plan a day and go early. The buildings are huge, the lines are long, and you are going to want something to carry everything in. I highly recommend coming WITHOUT children unless your kids love waiting all day for you to finish without whining. ;) Tip: start with the big stuff (in the Red Cross building usually). You can tag it for pick-up later (or if you need to buy a stroller/wagon/ride on/etc. you can use that to carry stuff around). Large ticket items go the quickest, followed by toys. There is so much selection of clothing and books/games/media, that you can save those for later. If you need help getting started as a consigner, please PM me! I am a Community Recruiter for people who are considering consigning for the sale, after selling/shopping for many years myself. I understand that it can be overwhelming, but it's also cathartic to clean out all of those unneeded items taking up space, and it makes you some money to invest in new items! I am more than happy to assist in any aspect of getting ready to consign. The sale dates in 2016 are Mon 7/18-Wed 7/20 for drop off, and Wed 7/20-Sun 7/24 for shopping. read more

An absolute explosion of kid and baby supplies! Everything you can think of is here in large quantities and cheaply priced. This is a once a year event that takes place on the NC fairgrounds in the expo center. Everything is 2nd hand and "gently used" but you can find certain items that were never used with tags still on. These aren't the norm though so if you have issues buying used items, don't come. We're prepping our nursery for a baby due in June so we had a few specific items that we were on the lookout for. What we ended up purchasing was a new Diaper Genie for $8, a Baby Bjorn for $30 and a whole bunch of super cute baby outfits for an average of $3 each. Now, if you've been shopping for baby items lately, you'll know this is a good deal. BE WARNED: Kids Exchange has not done background checks on every item sold. So check to make sure there's been no recalls on items if you have concerns. Also, I'm all for great deals but certain items really should be bought new. I saw quite a few car seats, for instance, that actually do have a shelf life and really shouldn't be purchased used unless you know their history. I'm speaking mainly of baby items but the items ranged from newborn yo young adult. This sale excels mainly in the clothing and toy department. Check hours before you go. Wednesday is open for sales to volunteers only (these are the folks working the event). Thursday is open to sellers only. Friday and Saturday are open to the public (beware of crowds!) and Sunday is open to the public with everything priced 50% off! Happy hunting! P.S. The photos I posted were taken from the internet. My hands were full pretty much the whole time so never had a chance to take any, sorry! read more

Alright, so my wife and I are expecting our first child in October and everyone told us that it was a must for new parents. We took it to heart and ventured down there. Big mistake. Sure, things are cheap, but the experience itself is just awful. Too many people, too many lines, and the quality is far below what I expected. I will say that we are fully stocked on clothes already, so we didn't have anything specific in mind to purchase, but this was too much. Talk about the paradox of choice. If you do go, head over on Friday morning before the crowd gets there and before everything of quality is snatched up. read more

Expecting our third child. Went to this sale. Noticed disrespected items strung everywhere, stepped on and thrown behind tables along dirty floor, mounds of unwanted items in corners and hanging along fixtures - not related to area to be assigned. Books do not have enough tables - falling off onto floor and stepped on ** Lost tagged items are retagged by Kids Exchange Staff in bright colored paper for resale under another code ** I would have concerns about my items under the supervision of this sale During the sale, All items are moved from one building to another... go watch the process.. interesting . Noticed a beautiful furniture set was disassembled and piled OUTSIDE in the rain / moisture between buildings - totaled disrespected. Clean bedding piled on dirty flooring Broken keepsakes Shoes are a " massive mess" piled all over each other Concerned about the overall " respect " - wonder if my daughter's Easter dress would be returned unsold filthy Noticed at check out ( very long wait in line ) that unwanted items were piled behind cashier ... I thought with this sale being time sensitive, why are they not back out on the floor immediately ? read more

I would not go to the Kid's Exchange if at all possible!! There is a Twins and Triplets show that has much cheaper items and much better quality! YES...there are tons of items, but the lighting is poor and when you get your clothes home, they have stains on them! The lines are incredibly long and they are slow slow slow. read more

The clothes are of very poor quality. Someone actually took the time to safety pin through the button hole that was missing a button so it wouldn't be noticed! So angry. The outdoor toys & bigger items are usually good. Always insanely long checkout lines. read more
