SUPPLIES
IN-PERSON SALE: Wire hangers (highly preferred), 60-67lb. white card stock, safety pins (1” or larger), or tagging gun (optional), heavy clear packing tape, Ziploc bags, zip ties. Supplies and hangers can be purchased inexpensively at Walmart or dollar stores.
ONLINE SALE: 60-67lb. white card stock, safety pins (1” or larger), or tagging gun (optional), heavy clear packing tape, Ziploc bags, zip ties. Do not hang your items.
PRICING - Think about what you would like to pay for the item if you were buying it. As a general rule, mark your items roughly 35-50% of what it sold for as a new item. Certain brand-name items and in-demand toys and baby gear may sell for more. It is up to you what you would like to charge for your items, but do keep in mind that reasonably priced items will sell more quickly and will be less likely to be marked down or donated at the end of the sale. Keep in mind that with an online format, shoppers will be able to quickly view and compare prices, and those priced best will sell first. Please mark prices in 50 cent increments. (ie.: 3.50 or 4.00, not 3.99)
CREATING ITEM TAGS - Select the appropriate category from the drop down menu. This is EXTREMELY important as it will help us organize your items and help shoppers find them. If something is listed in the wrong category, it may not sell if shoppers cannot find it (i.e. boys rain boots entered in the educational category). We have added new categories to help ensure items are in the right place.
AT MINIMUM, ALWAYS INCLUDE- the brand, color and something that describes the piece.
Input the item’s size, description, price, and determine whether to discount and donate. Include a brief description (ie: GAP, Blue Stripe Dress). A clear description is EXTREMELY important. It helps us if your item's tag becomes separated, allowing us to search it in inventory. AT MINIMUM, ALWAYS INCLUDE the manufacturer/brand on the TOP line and the item description in the 2nd line.
Next, print your tags on 60-67 lb. card stock. View the Tagging link for a picture of what your tag should look like. Do not hand-write or cross out information on printed tags.
BARCODES - Barcodes must print clearly in order to scan properly during checkout. Please print a test page to make sure your barcode looks clear. You should be able to see the complete barcode and white spaces in between. *If you are printing from a Mac computer, please make sure you are in Safari for your tags to format correctly on the page.
CUSTOMIZE TAGS (in-person sale only) – Customize your tags with a unique stamp on the lower left hand side. This would be in the location where the donation symbol would appear. Please make sure that the stamp you use to identify your tags is identical on every tag. Tags marked for donation DO NOT need to be stamped. *Please no smiley faces, stars, hearts, or other common themes. Also no handwritten marks or initials. Note: This step is unnecessary for online sales.
DISCOUNT – All items are sold for full price on Thursday through Sunday. Monday is 50% off day. You decide whether you would like certain item(s) to be discounted by clicking the discount box on the tagging program. We highly recommend discounting your items. Items that are not discounted have a very low chance of selling on the final day when shoppers are in “bargain mode”.
DONATIONS – Click the donate box online if you wish to donate your unsold items to our partner charities. You may choose to donate some items and not others. Items marked for donation will be automatically discounted. *Consignors who “DONATE ALL” will earn an extra 5% on their check. Note: No donation option for online sales.

CLOTHING PREP - Children’s clothing sizes newborn to youth size 12 and Juniors sizes 14+ are accepted. Check your items to make sure they are in current fashion -- within the last five years. Make sure all your garments are clean and wrinkle free. It is a good idea to look at your items outside in natural light to check for stains. To ensure the best quality of sale items for our customers, we WILL NOT be accepting items that are more than 5 years old, clothing brands from Walmart, Kmart, or other discount stores, handmade clothing, items with stains, holes, missing buttons, loose seams, or that smell of smoke or other odors.
Items that do not meet these requirements WILL be returned to you at your drop off appointment. Please help our sale maintain its reputation of providing high quality items by carefully selecting and preparing your items for sale. HANGING CLOTHING - Hang garments with the hanger facing the left (like a question mark). When selling a set or outfit, put the top on the hanger and then pin the bottoms to the back. All clothing items must be hung on hangers. TOYS, FURNITURE & EQUIPMENT - All toys, furniture and equipment must be cleaned, in working order and include all working parts. ALL battery operated items will be tested to see if they are working. Items that include small parts must have all of the parts in a Ziploc bag, which is then attached to the main part. LOOSE ITEMS & ACCESSORIES - Loose items must be in Ziploc bags with the tag attached with packing tape. Tape the bags closed to prevent bags from being opened. SHOES - Shoes must be in like-new condition, clean inside and out, odor-free, and with no scuffing. Shoes should be attached to each other. The most secure way to do this is with small zip ties. Infant shoes can be packaged in Ziploc bags, but be sure to tape them securely closed to prevent them from being removed from their bags. No shoe boxes will be allowed. ITEMS YOU CANNOT SELL - Mens, Underwear (except for new unopened packages), Baby Bathtubs manufactured before October 2017, Broken or Dirty Items, Bottle Nipples or Pacifiers (except for new unopened packages), Breast Pump Tubes, Opened or Expired Cans of Infant Formula, Recalled Toys or Gear, Fast Food Toys, "vintage" and handmade clothing.
