Consignment Sale Guidelines

** PLEASE READ THE GUIDELINES THOROUGHLY **
In order to expedite check-in and help you consign as many items as possible, here are some tips to follow during the tagging process. Please keep in mind that if you do not comply with the procedures mentioned here, some of your items may not be accepted into the sale.
  • Check all clothes in bright light for stains, wear/tears, and missing buttons.  We may be more lenient with items marked $1.00 or less, with minimal fading and minimal stains.  We will not accept any clothes priced over $1.00 with these problems.
  • We recommend ironing your clothes! Although it takes more time, your clothes will sell faster and for a higher price when they are ironed.
  • Please button, snap, or zip ALL clothes. Due to such high volume (especially in infant clothes), we may turn away items if they are not ready for the sales floor. 
  • With clothing that is sold as a set, please safety pin them together.  For example safety pin pants to a shirt if they are a set.  Also, we recommend that you place a small piece of tape with your consignor number on the item that does not have the barcode tag.  This will help cut down on lost items.
  • ALL pajamas need to be on hangers (unless they are marked $1.00 or less).  We will have a separate section just for pajamas.  
  • Try to group small items together. For example, you can package bibs together and price as a single unit. The same could be done for pajamas, leggings, tights or hair bows, to name a few. These groupings need to be sealed in a zip lock bag and priced accordingly.  
  • Clean, clean, clean all toys, equipment, strollers, high chairs, etc. We will not be as lenient on accepting big items due to space restrictions. If an item of yours is dirty, it will  return home with you.
  • Make sure all items with batteries are working. (A good place to find inexpensive batteries is at a Dollar Store.)
  • Clean those shoes. Even if they are a boutique brand, they will be rejected if they are too worn, or are dirty. Only the best will be accepted because shoe bins fill quickly.
  • Be prepared to assemble your large items like outdoor toys, and pack-n-plays. We must check these items for damage and parts. 
  • Toys that have small parts should be bagged. If you do not bag small parts they WILL get lost and your item(s) may not sell. If we recognize this problem at check-in, your toys may be returned to you. Another idea: Look for larger bags that will hold a grouping of toys or toy parts and sell them as one unit. 
  • Price to Sell! Please try not to overprice your items. We realize how much they mean to you, but this is a resale event. Most prices should be around 1/3 of retail price.
  • At drop off please have all your items sorted by gender and size.
  • 300 item limit per 30 minute drop off session. If consigning more than 300 items, please sign up for additional drop of sessions.
  • Bring a tub/container (without the lid) to leave with us for use during the sale. Label the container with your consignor number. We will use these to sort items being returned back to you when the sale is over. Leave one tub per drop off session.
