merchandise prep
 
Spending a little extra time getting your items ready will mean more money $$$ for you. Items that are cleaned, ironed, and starched, with all pieces attached, and loose threads clipped, sell much better!! Button all buttons, zip all zippers for an extra clean appearance.

Furniture and Large Play Toys

  • All furniture and large toy items must be in clean condition (please wash or wipe clean).
  • We ask that cribs, changing tables, bassinettes, toddler beds, etc are assembled. Please bring your own tools if you need to assemble on site.
  • Large indoor/outdoor play sets (i.e. Little Tykes or Step 2 items) must also be assembled at the drop off time. Battery operated toys must have batteries.

Books, Videos, DVDs

  • Books in excellent condition can be sold individually or bagged together in groups. Groups of books must be placed into Ziploc bags .
  • Place a book label to the outside of the bag using clear packing tape. A 3 X 5 index card may be used for a book label in addition to your consignor tag. Mark each label with book titles and a general description.
  • Tape your consignor tag to the OUTSIDE of the bag for easier removal at checkout. Please use clear packing tape.
  • For individual books or any books too large for Ziploc bags, tape consignor tag on the front cover of the book using masking tape .
  • Videos must have their matching cover. We will not accept videos or dvds that are not in their original case.

Shoes:

  • There is a limit of 5 pairs of shoes per consignor and must be in excellent (new or like new) condition.
  • We will accept shoes in sizes newborn-size 13 (ages 0-5 yrs). We will, however, accept specialty shoes, cleats, tap, ballet, etc…in larger sizes.
  • Shoes must be secured with a zip tie, knotted ribbon, shoelace or something similar so they do not become separated. Attach the tag with a safety pin to the laces or knotted ribbon.

Bedding:

  • Crib Bedding Sets must be hung on hangers and secured with safety pins.  They may hang long as they will be on a rack higher off the floor.  This will allow the consumer a better look at your items.  If you use multiple hangers, please secure the hanger grouping together with a rubberband.  Please use only one tag when labeling a bedding set. 
  • All crib sheets and smaller baby blankets must also be hung on hangers and secured with safety pins.

Miscellaneous Items:

  • Loose items such as bibs, socks, tights, rattles, hair accessories and bottles must be bagged and sealed with clear packing tape with tag taped to the outside. These items will be donated at the end of the sale if unsold.
