Whale of a Sale was voted the #1 consignment sale in Indianapolis from Indy’s Child Parenting Magazine readers! Consignment is increasingly popular as families find kids growing out of clothing and equipment quickly, and also desire to be “green” by recycling gently-used gear.
Shopper testimonials pour in after every sale. Shopper Laura said, “The best Indianapolis baby and kids consignment sale ever! Outstanding prices and upscale name brands that are close to brand new and many NEW clothes and toys too. If you have kids and live in the Indy area, this is a must go to event!”
Butler University alums and Carmel moms, Courtney O’Neil and Jennifer Hare, are the founders of the sale, started in 2009. O’Neil says they enjoy being able to provide local families a, “fun, fashionable, and clean bargain-hunting experience. We are NOT a garage sale – expect upscale finds.”
