In the Spring of 2023 MAJoR Chaos hosted their FIRST Conrad Kids Sale and we have be growing ever since.  This page is dedicated to answering questions, explaining how these sales work and how you can participate if desired.
As you may have read in previous pages, MAJoR Chaos is very community based and we never want that to change. Our community is small but mighty. We have watched our dream come true, as we see these sales bring our small community ever closer together. ​
Several times a year, (Spring, Fall, and pop-ups) MAJoR Chaos and the Conrad Moose Lodge team up to have a BIG Conrad Kids Sale. From maternity to baby, teen and beyond; these sales overflow with all manner of items: clothes, shoes, books, toys, strollers, baby gear, and a plethora of other items.  

 

********************

Just about anyone who is interested in participating is encouraged to do so. There are currently 3 ways to join our sales.​

• Consign – MAJoR Chaos does everything!!

  • We price, tag, set up/take down and store the items.

  • The split is 75% to you and 25% to us.

  • If you have a certain price in mind we gladly honor that. You can also decide if you want all your items in the Chaos Day Sale or just specific ones.

  • Click these links for more information: Consignment Information,  Agreement and FAQ

• Solo Seller – You get to do your own thing

  • You will have your own tables and area along with but also separate from the rest of the sale items. Space and tables may be limited so we do ask for a little flexibility and understanding when arranging a space. We try our very best to accommodate everyone.  

  • You will set up, organize and take down all your own items. We encourage you to bring any display items that you may want including baskets or tables etc. Some see this as a perk and others as a con.

  • MAJoR Chaos is not and will not be responsible for any aspect of your sales, which some may view as a con or a perk. We will provide signage to direct shoppers to your area along with ‘pay here’ signs for you to post as desired.

  • Perks:

    • You can make deals with your customers! Bulk-buy deals or last day sales, haggling, etc.

    • You walk away with all the money you made. There is no possible wait time

    • If you want to end your sale early you can pack up and leave

    • All the advertising is already done, you will already have shoppers who are looking specifically for kid items, which leads to increased sales.

    • You can make community connections and find new resources.

    • There are no agreements or contracts to sign or be held to.

  • Cons:

    • Your items MUST fall within our Accepted Items – Maternity, and Baby through Teens. 

    • You MUST be at the sale the whole time. These sales are generally for an entire weekend – Set up on Friday then sale Saturday and Sunday 9-4p. You are allowed to end your sale earlier.

    • You MUST be present to make a sale.

    • It’s 100% on you. Set up, take down, organizing, selling - this can also be viewed as a perk, just depends on how you want to look at it.

    • You will also be responsible for your own money processing. This is listed as a con because if you are unable to accept a shopper’s preferred method of payment, you may miss that sale.​

​

​

• Blended - This option blends the sale part of Consignment along with Seller independence

  • Perks:

    • For doing all work (Entering, tagging, set up and pick up) it's only fair you receive 100% of your sales!

    • You will get access to our inventory system and will be able to make tags with barcodes. These tags/barcodes work like a regular store, therefore, you are not required to be at the actual sale. Many view this as the biggest perk.

    • Items are organized alongside other items of the same or similar nature Increasing possible sales.

    • The tagged items can be entered to any sale using the same tags

    • You can change/update tags at any time as long as the updated tag is attached to the corresponding item. 

    • Because the desccription of the items are in our inventory, if a customer outside of an in-person sale is looking for a particular item MAJoR Chaos can help facilitate an 'outside' sale.

    • You do not have to handle any of the money part, MAJoR Chaos handles all the card/cash processing. We accept MANY forms of payment.

    • You can price your items any way you want and decide which specific items you would like or NOT like in our Chaos Days Sale, (50% off sales). These are both options with Consignment but, simpler because it does not need to be communicated.

    • If you hate it, convert your items to consignment with the sign of your name - no extra work and they will be added automatically into all the other sales.

    • You will receive cash for your sales either at the time of pick up or at another arranged meeting.

    • Access to the system allows real time view of sales. 

    • You are not held to any contract. Since you are only using the computer program and do everything else independently, there is currently no need for any paperwork.

  • Cons:

    • It's a lot of work. Each item (or groups of the same items) must be entered into the program. 

    • Once the items are entered, the tags must be printed (we can help with this, if it is a printer issue), and attached - you can use painter’s tape, safety pins or a tagging gun.

    • You are responsible for transporting your items to the sales and adding your items to the existing displays as directed.  Items are categorized for easy shopping and we ask you follow along.  After the sale the items will need to be picked back up. We will make very attempt to separate out your items make pick up easier. Any missed items will be returned.

    • You must store your unsold items

 

Each of these options can be changed to any of the others if desired. We have had Solo Seller’s covert to Consignment and we have the Blended sellers who ‘Blend’ through the sale and then convert remaining inventory to Consignment so they don’t have to breakdown and store their unsold items. We have also had a Blended attend the sale more like a Solo Seller – they had all their tagged items in a separate area and chose to stay at the sale to make connections and help with shopping; it also made the breakdown process easier because the items were already separated out. We truly strive to be  as accommodating as possible. 

 

These options sound much more complicated than they really are, we encourage anyone who is interested to contact us and see if we can work something out. We are always evolving and streamlining our processes and a change you suggest may work for others too.
