Time to start organizing for the sale!

 The best way to get everything ready for the sale is to break it down into pieces and get started early.

If you haven’t signed up for a drop off appointment, please do so on your Consignor Homepage.

Step 1: Gather

 Look for your fall and winter clothes, toys and gear.  The Sale Guidelines have many details in helping you find great things to sell!  Find a room or closet in your house where you can collect items as you see them.  You’ll be surprised at how much you can find!

 Most items that pertain to babies and children may be sold!

 Examples are: toys, clothing, baby accessories, baby equipment, cribs, children’s furniture, strollers, ride-on’s, tricycles, swings, bouncers, highchairs, parenting books, children’s books, pregnancy books, Little Tikes and Step2 climbing toys and furniture,  puzzles, videos, and DVD’s.   We ask that all videos and DVD’s be in their original cases.

 Fall and winter clothing will be accepted for this sale.  We will accept some summer items such as shorts and light weight pants.

 We are also accepting maternity wear! 

 Please save all swimsuits, sandals, sundresses, and tank tops for the Spring Event.

 Remember, we don’t ever accept:

Diaper Genies

Toilet training items

Car seats

Stuffed animals

Underwear, including nursing bras and maternity swimwear

Used feeding items like bottles, plates, and cups

Stained or worn out items

Breast pumps

  

Step 2: Clean

 Please help us keep the standards high!  Look at each item as if you were the shopper.  Make sure that all items are clean.  Wipe down surfaces and wash all things that can be washed.

 Take the fabric off of strollers and bouncers and wash them.  Hang them to dry.  They come out looking great!

  Check the neckline and seats of baby clothes for stains.  Shout and OxiClean help to get these out sometimes.  Remember, stained items, items with pet hair and items with odors won’t be accepted, so bring only your best.

 

Step 3: Hang

 

Please hang all clothing on plastic child-sized hangers.  These can be found at Wal-Mart, Target, Garden Ridge, and various department stores.  No wire hangers please!  Adult hangers will only be accepted on maternity clothing and youth clothing sized 8 and above. 

 For details and photos on hanging your clothes, visit our tagging page.

 Hang clothing organized by gender and size so you’ll be ready to tag!

 

Step 4: Check you nursery items against the CPSC Recall List

 

All non-clothing items should be checked for recalls on the CPSC list. 

Checking for recalls is the responsibility of the consignor. 

Recalled items will not be accepted.  Remember: recalled items are not legal to sell; you can return them to the retailer for a NEW item and keep kids safe!
