CLOTHING

  • All clothing must be on hangers, freshly washed and free of wrinkles, pet hair and odor.
  • Clothing with stains, marks, tears, holes, pills, fading, broken zippers, missing buttons/snaps, etc. WILL NOT be accepted.
  • Inspect clothing carefully and do not bring these items.
  • Clothing must be appropriate for the season listed.
  • Out-of-date clothing will not be accepted.
  • Complete outfits sell best!
  • Use plastic (tubular or department store) hangers, or clip hangers for pants and bottoms. Please no wire hangers!
  • Hangers point left (looks like a question mark)
  • Clothing through size 6 goes on child-sized hangers.Clothing size 7 and above should be on adult hangers.
  • Be sure to snap all snaps, button all buttons, tie all bows, and zip all zippers BEFORE drop off.
  • Pin items to top of hanger and pin multiple items together securely.  Double secure your items to ensure they will not fall of the hanger or become separated.
  • Pin tags to the upper-right portion of the item.
  • Good descriptions help us verify an item at checkout and help us reunite lost tags.  Create quality descriptions - more details will help both you and us.
  • If using a tagging gun, place tag through seam or garment tag so it doesn't make a hole in the fabric.
  • To protect holiday and other expensive clothing, you may use clear plastic garment guards over the attire.
  • Bring only your best items.  We are picky so that our customers don't have to be!  Please inspect your items closely and follow all guidelines.


PANTS & BOTTOMS...
Choose how you want to hang it:
  1. Shirt Hanger: Pin the garment's waist tightly to the TOP of the hanger.  One pin should be used on the top right side and one on the left.
  2. Pant Hanger: Clip the garment at the waist and make sure it is snug.

TIP: DO NOT fold pants over hangers!!!
If you allow slack, or pin to the bottom of the hanger, the garment will slide around and hang on the racks in such a way that it will fall, become hidden, and ultimately not sell.

DIAPERS

Bundle in packaging and seal with tape.  Secure tag with packing tape.

HAIR BOWS

Choose how you want to sell it...
  1. Display: Some consignors make bows and accessories to re-sell.  You may create a display board, stand, or bin and tag each item individually.
  2. Individual/Grouping: If you are selling bows that your child no longer wears, place them in a ziploc bag, secure with tape, and tape tag to the bag.

TIP: Less expensive bows will sell better than higher-priced ones. Our shoppers are looking for great deals.  Also, small items like this can easily go missing. Use your own discretion.

HATS

Choose how you want to sell it...
  1. Pin it securely to a matching outfit and list on group's tag.
  2. Group with hats of the same size and sell as a set.  Pin the tag to the outer layers.
  3. Sell it individually and pin the tag to the hat.
TIP: Items that are easily worn, like hats, are most secure in a sealed bag.

JUNIORS CLOTHING

Because teens are choosy, so are we...

Only name-brand juniors clothing will be accepted.
  • Must be current fashion.
  • Just because it is a brand name, does not mean it is still in style...

  • Boys' clothing will be sized up to size 20.
  • We do not accept women's and men's clothing (except maternity).

ONESIES

Choose how you want to sell it...

  2. Sell individually: Secure onesie to hanger and pin tag.

TIP: Plain onesies sell better in groups!

SHOES
