How to Sell

Items Accepted for Sale

We Cannot Accept:

General Instructions for Consignors

  1. There is a limit of 100 hanging items and 5 pairs of shoes. We discourage inexpensive Wal-Mart and KMart brands. Hanging clothes should be priced at $2 minimum.
  2. We must limit Junior Girls to 20 items. Junior and baby sizes are hard to sell so bring your best.
  3. Condition of your clothes is important. Make sure your clothes are current styles and are clean and ironed with no stains, holes, or tears. Examine each item as if you were considering buying it. We will remove items which do not meet these standards.
  4. Clear packaging is useful to keep things clean, ex. blankets and stuffed animals. If there are multiple pieces, wrap the item in clear plastic to discourage toddlers from opening the package and losing the pieces. Toys are especially vulnerable.
  5. Board games/Puzzles should be sealed with masking tape or blue painter's tape (not package tape, which tears the box) with a note on the front indicating that all pieces are included.
  6. *** On all non-hanging items, such as baby equipment and large toys, attach a piece of tape with name, selling number, and price. This is in addition to the printed tag. This provides a backup in case the printed tag is lost.
  7. Bring clothes on hangers with the hook pointing left hangeras you face the garment (no store lingerie hangers). Use baby hangers through size 4, adult hangers for size five and up.
  8. Hang all pants by the waist with the front showing. Use a pant hanger or use safety pins to attach to the top sides of the hanger so the pants don't slide. Do not fold pants over hangers.
  9. Separate boys' clothes from girls'. Group by sex and them by size. Please keep them organized this way until they are hung in their proper section at the sale.
  10. SIZE THE CLOTHES THE WAY THEY FIT RATHER THAN BY TAG SIZE. Use numerical sizes, not S, M, L, or XL. If a tag has two sizes, such as 4/5, hang it with the lower size. Note that 24 months and 2T are two different sizes, as are 4 and 4T. Group Husky and Half-Sizes separately. Properly sizing clothes is probably the best use of your preparation time. If a garment is hanging in the wrong size, it will not sell, no matter how cute it is.
  11. Shoes: Attach a barcode tag (only one) to each pair. In addition, on the sole (or inside, if tape won't stick to the sole) of EACH shoe, use masking tape to indicate the size, price, and your consignor number. Pin or tie shoes together, if possible. If you choose to bring them in clear plastic bags, make sure all tags are on the shoes and not on the bag.
  12. Socks and tights: We suggest bagging several pairs (same size) in a clear bag and pricing in $1 increments.
