An Important Note- All sellers NEED to be quality checking their items before entering/tagging and bringing them to drop off. It is imperative that you pull out items that are stained, broken, not clean etc. We will be inspecting items at drop off and we realize that it is easy to miss a small spot or stain. However, larger stains and tears should be caught before items come to us. We pride ourselves on a quality sale and it is important, for consignors, that shoppers feel confident in the quality of your items so they tell their friends and return to shop each sale. Thank you!

ITEM LIMITS – Due to our limited amount of space, we have a few limits.

25 total clothing items in sizes 0-18 months (this is a total of 25 and not 25 per size). Outerwear and swimsuits are NOT included in the limit.
10 pairs of shoes per consignor (sports, dance and imaginary play shoes do NOT count)
350 total items per consignor

Do’s & Don’ts…

DO – Make sure your bar codes are printing correctly. You should be able to see some space between each bar. Click herefor visual examples of good and bad barcodes. We are randomly check consignor bar codes at drop off. If your bar codes will not scan, you will have to reprint.

DON’T – Size children’s clothing as S,M,L. Determine a numerical size so volunteers will know where to hang it. S,M,L is acceptable for Junior girls clothing.

DO – Pin/attach separates and accessories. Pin tops to bottoms. Pin diaper covers (lollipops, panties etc.), hats, tights etc. to the outfit you are selling.

DON’T – Cover barcodes with tape. Don’t cover stickers or decals with packing tape (when the tape is removed the decals/stickers may tear off with the tape).

DO – Make note of item limits. Total of 350 items will be accepted. There is a maximum of 25 item per gender up 18 months (18/24 months included – 24 months not included) and 10 pairs of shoes. No maternity, car seats or bike helmets. Crib mattresses may only be sold with a crib or toddler bed (not alone).

DON’T – Bring toys that have been recalled by the manufacturer. Click here to view a list of recalled toys. But since items are added on a regular basis, it is also good to check the CPSC website at www.cpsc.gov.
