Love the idea of consigning but not the time it takes to tag everything? We’ve got you covered!
Our JBF Grand Rapids Valet Tagging Program is designed for busy families who want to earn money from their children’s outgrown items without the time and effort of preparing them for the sale.
Simply gather your gently loved items, ensuring they are clean, stain-free, and free of pet hair, and drop them off to an assigned tagger and we’ll take care of the rest. Our experienced team will sort, price, tag, store, and transport your items to the sale, making consigning easier than ever.
Best of all, you’ll still enjoy all the perks of being a JBF consignor, including the opportunity to shop before the public and earn money from your sold items.
It’s the easiest way to consign and one less thing on your to-do list.

About JBF
Grand Rapids
Here in West Michigan, we help families navigate the constant cycle of kids outgrowing clothes, toys, and gear without overspending or wasting what they already have.
We’re Melanie and Melissa, and we bring Just Between Friends to the West Michigan community twice a year.
After raising our own families and seeing firsthand how quickly kids move through stages, we knew there had to be a better way to handle all the outgrown items while still being able to afford what comes next.
Now, we help families turn what they no longer need into cash and find everything they need next in one organized, community driven event.
It’s about creating space at home, putting money back in your pocket, and giving families the confidence to say yes.
Make an Impact
Beyond Your Earnings
When you consign with JBF, you’re not just earning money for your family. You’re also helping other families in Grand Rapids.
Sellers always have the option to donate unsold items, turning gently used clothes, toys, and gear into meaningful support for families who need it most. Together, local sellers help keep quality items in the community and put them to good use.
JBF Grand Rapids is proud to support
We’re proud to support In the Image, a local non-profit organization serving families across West Michigan.
They provide clothing and essential items to individuals and families with dignity, giving them the opportunity to shop for what they need at no cost.
Through our event, sellers can choose to donate their unsold items, and we partner with In the Image to make sure those items go directly to local families who need them most.
It’s one more way we continue to support families in our community, long after the sale ends.

Yes! We take pride in offering quality items that families can feel good about purchasing.
All items are inspected before they reach the sales floor and must meet our strict quality standards. We do not accept items with stains, excessive wear, missing pieces, or safety concerns. In addition, our trained Recall Specialists review items for recalls and safety issues to help ensure that products offered for sale meet current safety guidelines.
Because our items come from local families, inventory changes each sale, but our commitment to quality and safety remains the same.
