nikkilugi Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 http://www.scholastic.com/bookfairs/events/warehouse/ They are starting up again soon! Yay because I have some books to buy that I passed up on at our book fair since I was spending too much so I hope they are on sale at the sale by my house which runs from 12/5 to 12/13.

ginabarrett Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 It says must be school employee or homeschooler. Do they require any ID for this? I actually was a teacher but now stay home with my kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually was a teacher but now stay home with my kidsMy sale doesn't. It also says that you can be a volunteer which I am at my kids' school so I count that. When you sign up for one in your area you get to print out a fast pass which you just give them when you show up and that is about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywarmbluefleece Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Thank you. I've been waiting for this, and this year its WAY closer to my house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caitlinn Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Wow, they're having one much closer to my house too. Though it's being held in a hotel...I still may drive the extra miles for the one in the actual warehouse. Or maybe I'll go to both!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will take you to a list of warehouse locations and sales. Either input your zipcode or click your state to find a sale near you. Under the closest sale there will be a sign up tab which you click and that will take you to the registration page. You will need to register and then after that your fast pass and your $10 off $50 coupon will print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbaldasare Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I also signed up to volunteer again and got the call....hopefully will get 8 hours of volunteer time which equals 80.00 worth of books after the discounts! Yippee....everyone on my list will be getting some books for Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTBoard Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I signed up to volunteer again in Denver. I worked two 4 hours shifts at the last one. This time I got 26 hours! I know what everyone is getting from me for Christmas! If you have the time I think the volunteering is very worthwhile. I love books though so "getting paid" to put books on shelves is kind of fun for me. They asked me last time if I wanted a job there but it's about an hour and forty-five minutes from my house so I had to pass. A couple times a year though it's worth the drive!Hope everyone finds some great deals!+++POSITIVE THOUGHTS+++!!!Niccole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dealdiva Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 This will be my first time. I signed up and forwarded to some teachers. I am considering volunteering also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cynglover Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Tomorrow will be my first time volunteering at the book fair. Can I just wear jeans, or do they want you to wear something else? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewilfords Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 You can wear jeans. Everyone at ours does. HTH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trbarginhunter Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Yeah! For $38 I got 3 hardcover books, 4 paperbacks and a baseball scoring thing for my sister. I was so tempted by the many cookbooks, but I'm trying hard to watch my spending, so I'm heading to the library for those.... Lots of great stocking stuffers avaliable, too...but I'm done shopping for those. Really nice giftbooks on America, cooking, gardening, some crafts.

woobie Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Wow, they're having one much closer to my house too. Though it's being held in a hotel...I still may drive the extra miles for the one in the actual warehouse. Or maybe I'll go to both!!! Go to the warehouse. It's worth the trip vs the hotel fair!! Also, they do not ask for ID. I've been going to these the past 4 years and have always gotten great deals. I'd go today if it wasn't freezing rain. Can't wait!!

theboyzmom Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 ugh, they moved the location of mine...now instead of 1.5 hours away...it's 2 hours away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdcrim Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I have a question- I signed up under Chairperson/ Volunteer and got my fast pass and coupon. Am I required to volunteer to work at the fair in order to get in? I volunteer at my sons school which is why I signed up as a volunteer. Sorry for the silly question, I am new to this.

ixrayu05 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I don't think so, just bring your pass with-otherwise they will make you sign up again. I am volunteering on Thurs for 6 hours, so that's $60 in credit, I am sooo excited to do this again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellen zachariia Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I just spent the last three days volunteering at my locaL high schools warehouse sale.

Sorry for the silly question, I am new to this.Anyone can go to the warehouse sales. They are not allowed to advertise them, but anyone who knows about them can get in. Ours is going on right now. They keep having Clifford go out to the street to hopefully get drive-by traffic to stop and come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conj Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 just volunteered 7+ hours in the past 2 days at our local sale. love it. had fun. DS came with me today... 3 hours was all he could handle, but he read books, helped put them away when people decided they didn't want them, returned shopping bags to the front rack and played his gameboy. I got $160+ face value in books, plus 2 $10 mystery boxes for $1.50. from that, DD got 1 bok, DS got 3 (he paid for 2 of them), my neighbors 2yo got 1, and the rest go to the school! whee monday will be fun.
