You guys did an incredible job. I could not believe how smoothly things went with the amount of items and people involved. Great job! See you next time! - KS
Thanks so much for a wonderful sale!!!!!!!!!!!! I came back with maybe a quarter of my stuff that I started with. I am very happy and eager to do it all over again. Can you believe I am already tagging winter clotthes! - YF
FYI- this was the first one of these "mom sales" that I have participated in that I felt was actually organized. Thank You! - SM
Just wanted to say thank you for today. You all did an amazing job and I was really impressed with the quality of all of the items sold. Thanks again for all of your time and effort! - SJ
I don't know how you pulled this off...seriously, it was a crazy, busy, mob-like shopping environment. But boy was it fun! This was my first time selling at this kind of event - and I I'll be back for more! Thanks so much! I thought the sale was great fun and a HUGE success…and judging by how little I brought home with me, I’m hoping for a fat commission check to boot! I don’t know how you (Anita) and Heather did this…it’s an amazing feat to bring together so many individuals and get them working as a team! One of my friends who has spent YEARS in a retail environment expressed complete shock that it wasn’t a throwdown, free-for-all among the shoppers (I think having security on site was a HUGE benefit) I’m very happy with this selling experience and will gladly volunteer again in the fall. Thanks so much! - JS
* Thank you so much for the opportunity to take part in the Mother Load Sale. I have to say I was amazed at how organized you guys were. I couldn’t imagine how 100 people could possibly set up their merchandise in an hour, but you did it! You guys were so prepared and calm during every phase of the operation that it made the whole experience easier and more enjoyable than I thought it would be. Thanks again, and I look forward to the next sale! - DB
* I know you ladies are still working hard, but I just wanted to say THANKS for all the work you did on coordinating this event. WOW!!! - CD
* You did a GREAT job and helped to provide us newbies an easy goin' atmosphere and answered all our questions without hesitation. Thanks again for the
great event.-CH
* I completely enjoyed the experience and camaraderie I encountered. I know that part of what made me so excited about this was the fact that it felt like a
community event and not just a way to get rid of some stuff. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this, it is appreciated. - LC
* I must tell you how impressed I was with the expert organization and structure of the sale. (You ought to run the airlines!) I especially liked the “fairness” of
the shopping and your “fast-moving” schedule. Thanks for all of your hard work! - KL
* You all did a great job with the sale - glad I was able to participate. Thanks again! - MR
* It was great watching you ladies work the sale. Your energy level is amazing, and we could not have pulled anything off without you! - LN
Spring 2010 Sale: April 17th - 18th, 2010 - Cleveland Middle School:
The BEFORE picture:
TMLS magic begins on Friday afternoon when our
AMAZING VOLUNTEERS begin setting up for the BIG EVENT!
"I am so impressed with the precision and organization that the TMLS exhibited in the set up and take down of this sale. In a matter of 2 or 3 hours there was a sale with all racks, signs, boxes, and tables displayed - and then in a shorter amount of time, everything was put away, racks, signs, boxes and tables were down and there was a gym again. You would only believe it if you saw it!" - Diane W.
