My first TotTrade consignment sale

It's official, I've been to a TotTrade Charlote event.  And it very well may be my last one.  For those that aren't familiar with the event, it's a consignment sale for all things children.  Toys, bedding, clothes, things to sit in on and under, strollers, DVDs, and all sorts of other things.  I didn't really have anything in mind to specifially get.  I basically wanted to see what it was about and I thought maybe I'd come across something I just had to have.  It started at 3pm.  Mom and I arrived at 2pm so we would be in front of the line.  We ended up about 40th b/c it was so hot and we sat in the car with the AC.
We found a couple of clothing items, some shoes, a toy or two or three, a mirror, and piano thing, bottles...you get the picture.  I must admit, a lot of the prices were the same, if not more, than things I've seen on craigslist.  So we didn't buy a whole lot.  Just enough to make our trip worth while.  What I learned is that it's a place where you can pick up a thing or two.  You need to have a list and a plan.  And you need to have a truck.  What you don't need to have is a 4 month old, although I must admit, he was a perfect angel.  We were there about 2 hours and he only cried for 5 seconds.  Most of the time he was laughing or talking to me from his carrier.  Everybody kept saying what a cutie he was and how good he was.  And he was.  I am very lucky to have such a great baby.
So next Feb. they will have another sale.  I guess we'll plan on going.  I don't think the sun and heat will be a problem then.
