Clothing (shirts, pants, dresses, jackets, etc):
Again take another look at your clothing for stains down the front and on the
sleeves. If you find stains, try to remove the stain or donate it to charity.
Another great tip is if the item is a bit wrinkled, pull the iron out and sharpen
the garment. Wrinkled clothes do not sell, make them first class
with a bit of preparation.

All clothes must be hung on hangers. The
hanger must be pointed to the left so that
the hanger looks like a question mark. Your
item should be hung with zippers zipped,
buttons buttoned, etc.

Pants cannot be folded over the hanger. Please
use two safety pins and attach the pants to
the hanger so that you can see the entire front.

You will attach the completed 3 x 5 card to the left side of the shirt at the
hem of the sleeve and if you have pants, it will be attached to the left
waistband. Why do we do this? Well because we want consistency to the
information. shoppers just hate to search out the size and cost.

If you are selling a set, place the shirt on one hanger and the pants on
another and rubber band the two together. The 3 x 5 card should appear on
the shirt and make sure that you place a notation under the size that it is a 2
pc, 3 pc, etc.

If you have matching accessories, like headbands, socks, booties, place them
in a ziplock bag and safety pin them to the bottom of the top garment.

No used underwear, socks, or tights.

Smaller Items:
If you have blankets, bibs, books, etc. Place these in ziplock bag and tape the
3 x 5 card to the back of the baggie. We will not split the bag lot so please
price these accordingly.

Shoes:
Please be objective with shoes. They must be in very good condition and
clean. We limit 10 pairs of shoes to each consignor. Shoes must be in a ziploc
bag with the 3 x 5 attached. If they are too big for a ziplock bag, use a
safety pin or a zip tie to secure the pair together.

Sporting Equipment:
This would include cleats, ball gloves, shin guards, etc. Take the time to clean
the mud off the cleats and inspect the items. For items that have a right and
left, please place in a ziplock bag and attach the 3 x 5 card, for larger items,
rubber band them together and tape the card appropriately.

DVDs/Books:
We are accepting DVDs and books. DVDs should have their own case. No VHS
tapes. If you have children’s books, try to group them together since the
minimum price that can be set is $2.00. Place these in a bag and attach the 3
x 5 card to the back of the bag. Books should not be ripped, marked or
severely worn.

Bedding:
Please fold nicely and place into a big clear bag. We will not accept bedding in
shopping bags or trash bags. Shoppers must be able to see what they are
buying. If you do not have the original bag, use one of the large ziplock bags
that are available at the discount stores. If you have matching accessories
make sure to list these on the card as well.

Toys:
All toys must be in working order and must have all their parts. If a toy has
several parts, place these in a Ziploc bag and tape to the main toy. It is
beneficial that if the toy can fit in a Ziploc along with the parts, please
present it this way. Don’t forget to look into your yard for the sand boxes,
Little Tikes Playhouses, tents, and outdoor play centers. We only accept
beanie babies, boyd bears and battery operated stuffed animals like Tickle Me
Elmo. No fast food toys. Reminder to check out the recall website, these items
should be discarded.

Furniture:
Beds, cribs, high chairs etc. can be displayed assembled or unassembled. If it
is unassembled, parts must be in a Ziploc and taped to the furniture. The
product card must be displayed at the top of the unit and on the right side. If
your item has multiple pieces, you will need to attach your account number to
the associated pieces. Only one piece should have the main product card. It is
good practice to check the recall website.

Car Seats:
Car seats that have been manufactured within 5 years will only be accepted
(check on the bottom for the manufactured date). We do not accept car
seats that have been in an accident or on the recall list. Please check
www.recall.gov before you bring in your unit. Straps and cloth liner must be
very clean and free of stains. The product card should be at the head of the
car seat on the right side. A used car seat checklist must be filled out and
presented when dropping off the seat.

Potty Items:
Diaper Genie, training seats, diaper pails must be very clean. They must be
free of, well you know what and free of potty odor. Use bleach to clean these
items because if they fail our sniffer and our eyes, you will need to take them
home. The product card should be on the flattest surface of the item.

Diaper Bags:
Make sure that your diaper bag is free of tears and stains. Give them a gentle
cleaning and don’t forget to tag this at the mouth of the right side of the
bag/tote.

Overall Reminder:
It is very important to have your product card secure on each item that you
have. If we cannot find the card, the item will be pulled and placed in an area
of “no sale”. We will donate this item since we will not know who to return it
to.
