CAUTION: SITE WILL BE UPDATED WITH NEW INSTRUCTIONS.
***We have the same new tagging system we had for the Fall 08 Sale,
DO NOT DOWNLOAD MATERIALS UNTIL THIS CAUTION IS GONE.

ATTENTION:

  • You may use the new online tagging system or the old manual system but you can not bring some items using the old system and some using the new.
  • If you used bar coded tags last time and plan to bring any of the items to this sale without retagging, you must transfer the items to the new sale using the manage inventory section of the online tagging system – (see the tagging section of this site for more info).
  • If you do not have web access at home you can still consign, by calling Donna at 703-727-0538 or Patricia at 703-754-9307.
  • NVCE uses color to denote donation or pick-up status regardless of what is on the tag. White tags mean you wish to donate unsold items to charity, colored tags mean you will pick up any unsold items.
  • Do not use gray, cream or light yellow tags. They appear white under the florescent light and we are unable to tell whether you meant to donate or not. Again, white means donate.
  • Tags are to be made of 60 lb. or better card, in white or a solid pastel or bright color. Paper should not have any texture on it at all.
  • All electronics must have working batteries at check in so we can check that they work, you can then remove them if you must.
  • Pick-up dates at the site are Saturday, September 26 from 5 pm – 8 pm and Sunday, September 27 from 2 pm – 4 pm.
  • NVCE will no longer make reminder calls to consignors who have indicated they are picking up their items but neglected to do so.

The Northern Virginia Clothing Exchange (NVCE) is a children's consignment sale run by private owners in Arlington, Virginia. Great deals can be found by buyers on quality used children's clothing, toys, games, books, videos, furniture, and much, much more! Consignors can earn money by consigning their (in season) child related items and (in season) maternity wear.

Shopping: The Spring 2009 sale dates are:

  • Consignors: Wed. Sept. 23 – 5pm - 9pm
  • Public: Thurs. Sept. 24 – 10am - 9pm
  • Public: Fri. Sept. 25 – 10am - 8pm
  • ½ Price Sat. Sept. 26 – 9am – 3pm


NVCE accepts cash and checks for purchases; no credit card sales.

Consignors must register in advance of the sale. We have moved to a new on-line registration, inventory, volunteer scheduling and tagging system. This system provides benefits to our consignors such as:

  • You can electronically enter your tags which will save you 50% to 60% of your time.
  • You can print inventory sheets for all of your items.
  • You can also print a donation list for your tax filings.
  • You can reuse your items for future sales with us and for other sales.
  • Your account will automatically be updated so that you can view what items sold at our sale before you receiving your check.
  • You can print a list of unsold items to assist you at pick-up.
  • You can calculate your potential sales in dollars.
  • The system will allow you to receive your check more quickly than a manual one.
