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

ATTENTION: NEW FOR 2008
There are two major changes from last year:
  • The tag color to show you want to donate your items is white and white only. Any other color denotes pick-up
  • Due to our inability to get enough workers for reverse sort, NVCE will no longer be pre-sorting your unsold items for pick-up. For the past 5 sales we have not been at the site until 4am preparing your items for pick-up and its just is not sustainable. You know us, we will do as much as we can to keep the process organized and hope you will continue to work with us through this change.
    • Saturday will be 1/2 price day all day from 9am-3pm
    • Pick up Saturday from 4pm-8pm and Sunday from 2pm-4pm

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!

These items include cribs, car seats, excer-saucers, swings, high chairs, playpens and diaper genies; our charities will not accept them and NVCE cannot dispose of them.

Consignors who consign 20 (new minimum) or more items, may make an appointment to come to the consignor preview sale on the Wednesday before the public sale. Appointments are made when dropping off items. These appointments are given on a first-come first-serve basis.
