Hello Mommy!

As soon as I became pregnant with my daughter, Savannah, I began obsessing over baby products. I searched the web for product reviews, information, and of course, the best prices! During this search, I noticed that there are a ton of maternity, baby, and children's stores, but no dedicated place for moms to go to buy and sell each others items. Of course we all know of the auction powerhouses that are out there, but I found that they were extremely cluttered. There are so many categories that it is a little overwhelming and frankly disorganized!

Then, after I had my daughter, I realized that I didn't need half of the things we bought for her! As she got bigger, I was getting frustrated with putting things in storage that I knew I didn't need or want. So, that's when I thought of Mommy Auctions. I thought it would be great to have an online auction community where moms alone are the demographic and we could all share product reviews, mommy advice, sell the products that we no longer needed, or buy products both new and used. In May of 2007, Mommy Auctions was launched.

Mommy Auctions is a clutter-free place to buy and sell maternity, baby, & children's items galore! It is a community for moms, not just an auction site. It was started by a mom for moms, so we know what you want and need!

Thank You!

Hi! I'm Cher (ChersWares) ... I started selling on-line over 10 years ago as ‘something to do’ when my youngest headed off to college. Selling on-line was pretty easy to learn back then, but as on-line sales and auction sites have grown, it can seem pretty intimidating for the new seller today. I’m happy to pass on the info I’ve learned, patiently answer questions big and small, and generally lend a hand where needed. Whether it’s listing items, figuring out Paypal or shipping … I’m here to help! You can reach me at chers_wares at yahoo dot com or through Yahoo Messenger at Chers_Wares. E mail or through PM on the forum are always the easiest ways to get me.



My name is Talona (love5575) and I have 7 very young children all under the age of 9. I only work 6 months out of the year so that way I can spend a majority of my time with my kids. I have been selling and buying on many auction sites for the last 7 years and I plan on doing it for many more. I absolutely love selling online and would like to help out in any way that I can. You can reach me via e mail at love5575 at yahoo dot com or through the Yahoo Messenger at love5575. I can be reached most days by IM and I check my email all day long (you can always send me a PM through the forum as well)!

In 2003 we welcomed our first child, our daughter and then last year (2007) welcomed our son. I have been a SAHM since the birth of our first child, and in means to make extra money started selling on-line. So I have been selling online for about 5+ years now. I am excited to help this site get its feet off the ground and believe it has great potential...mostly because of all you great supporters. I can’t wait to continue to make some great friends here!

Child Development & WAHM Tips
After teaching middle school reading and language arts for fifteen years, I was blessed with the opportunity to stay at home! I am a 40-something mom to (3) boys: ages 14 yrs, 2 yrs, and 1 yr. My husband, Chuck, has supported all of my endeavors. It is also very convenient for both of us that he works for the USPS! Three years ago, I left my teaching career when I became pregnant with my second child. A year ago, I started selling on-line and opened a store on e-Bay. My interest and success grew, and I realized that I could earn some extra money to help pay bills, buy clothing for the children, etc. I now have three on-line stores. Along the way, I have learned a great deal about being a WAHM and have met many moms who have generously shared their "survival" tips, and I look forward to paying them forward to you! In any spare time I may have, I enjoy reading, writing, gardening, volunteering at church, spending time with my husband, and shopping.
