Preparing your items

Clothing/shoes



We accept gently used, quality, clean children's clothing sizes 0-12 and maternity items with no tears, holes or stains. Freshly laundered, wrinkle and stain free items sell faster.

To help us sell your items please follow these guidelines as closely as possible...

> Place clothing on a hanger* with the hook facing left

> Two piece items - pin to the top. Or hang the second piece on a separate hanger and attach hangers with an elastic band

> Please button buttons, zip zippers, and snap snaps.



*If you do not have hangers, please advise us ahead of time.


Toys

Toys and games must have all pieces, be clean and current. Attach small pieces by putting them in Ziploc bags and taping to the larger item. Include batteries.

Small Items

Group small items such as onesies and socks together in Ziploc bag.


*******************************************************



The quality of the sale is important.

Quality Control



We will be screening items at drop off. Please do not be offended if some items are not included in the sale.

Pricing



We recommend pricing your items at 1/3 of the original price or less. Avoid pricing too high or too low. Refer to our recomended pricing guide if you're unsure. People are looking for good deals – not garage sale prices.
