Prepping Your Items

Wipe down all toys
Remove dirt from shoes, etc.
Inspect all items for stains, rips, tears, damage
All electronics must be working & have batteries
Clothing
- We do not accept any clothing that has stains, tears, broken zippers, rips, pilling, fading, etc.
- Clothing must be hung on hangers. We prefer wire hangers as they take up less space.
- $3 minimum price on clothing. You can bundle items together to create sets if desired.
- Only in-season clothing accepted. (Sept-Dec sales: Fall/Winter clothing, Jan-May sales: Spring/Summer clothing)
- Affix product tags with a tagging gun placed through the seam under the right-side arm pit or the sewn-in tag at the neck.
- We only accept kids and junior girls clothing. No women’s or men’s clothing is accepted (except maternity).
- Check out our videoes below to see how to tag and hang your clothing. https://youtu.be/v3mfOpx2IBw
Shoes
- We accept shoes for all seasons.
- All shoes must be cleaned top and bottom.
- Do not include shoes with too much wear and tear. Check wear on heels, toes & soles.
- Attach shoes together and the tag with zip ties, loop ties or curling ribbon.
- We accept all infant and kids’ shoe sizes. We accept boys shoe size up to a men’s size 13. We also accept women’s shoes (limit 3 per consignor).
Toys
- Toys that require batteries must have working batteries.
- If the toys have loose parts, secure these extra parts in a plastic bag and securely tape them to the main toy. If parts aren’t secured well enough, they will get lost and separated.
- Tape your product information tag securely to the toy so that it cannot be torn off easily.
- We suggest you put toys with multiple parts in clear plastic containers to help them stay together. (save your larger clear plastic pretzel containers or other food containers)
Books
- We accept all books for children and adults.
- The minimum price on books is $1.
- Put book bundles in ziplock-type bags or secure together with curling ribbon or painters tape (no rubber bands).
- Use scotch or painters tape to affix tags to prevent damage.
- We do not accept books with writing or torn pages/spines.

Linens
- Hang linens such as blankets, sheets, towel and sleeping bags over the hanger bar and secure with safety pins.
- Attach tag with a tagging gun directly to hanging linens.
- Put larger sets in large linen bags and close with tape.
- A handwritten list of enclosed items is helpful.
- Tape tag to outside of bag on larger sets.
Baby Equipment
- Pack ‘n Plays will be displayed assembled and may not have any holes or rips in netting.
- Ensure everything is clean – trays, pads, bars, etc. – spit up and gunk get caught everywhere!
- If items have multiple pieces that might get separated (e.g. bouncy seats and their activity bars, the 7 pieces that come with your pack and play, cribs with 8 pieces), make sure that the product tag is on the main piece. Hand write additional tags with your consignor #, the description and mark them with 1 of 8, 2 of 8, 3 of 8, etc.
- Instruction manuals are always helpful – include them when you can. Download them from the internet if you’ve lost them.
