The key to successful consigning is preparation. The better your items look the more you can charge, so take the time to prepare your items right. A little bit of work before the sale will lead to a larger check following the sale!

• All items are inspected at drop-off. Unacceptable items will be returned to you.
• Carefully inspect all clothing, toys, etc. All clothing must be in PERFECT condition. Do not tag clothing that is worn, outdated, or even barely stained. It will not be accepted.
• All buttons, snaps, and zippers should be closed and in working order.
• Clean and press all garments. The better your items look the more you can charge and the faster they’ll sell!
  
• All clothing must be on a hanger or safety pinned to a hanger. Pants should be safety pinned, not just hung on the hanger. When safety pinning pants, diaper covers, or skirts to a shirt pin them to the back side of the shirt (not underneath the shirt where they cannot be seen.)
• Clothing should be hung on the hanger so the hanger makes a question mark (?).
• Shoes must be tied together. We will not be accepting shoes in ziplock bags.
  
• Toys that require batteries must have them. Toys must be in working order and like-new. If you forget to put batteries in an item and we do so for you the price of the batteries will be deducted from your check.
• Toys, games, equipment, cribs, etc. must have all pieces, be clean, and not be out-of-date. If you want your crib assembled (it will sell faster), allow yourself time to do so at drop-off. If you do not want to assemble your large item we encourage consignors to attach a photo of it assembled to the item. Items sell much faster when the customer can see exactly what they are purchasing.
• Small items (such as socks or sippy cups) may be grouped together in a large ziplock bag. Please “lock” your bag closed with a piece of clear packing tape. Be sure you write the contents of your bag on the tag! We will not accept clothing or shoes in ziplock bags.
• Beds, dressers, desks, etc. should be very clean & like-new. Consider repainting furniture if it looks old or dirty. It's a good investment! Assembled furniture sells faster and goes for a higher price. If you cannot assemble (for instance, if you checked in your items at Drop-off at another location) attach a picture of your item.
• Family Furniture items must be very clean & only gently-used.  Dressers, dining room tables, recliners, coffee tables, book shelves, desks, etc. will go in the new Family Furniture section of the sale  We do not accept sofas.  Please email a picture of your item(s) to us for pre-approval.  All furniture must be pre-approved.
• Nursery bedding must be washed and ironed. Bedding that is torn or stained will not be accepted. Sheets blankets, bumpers, & quilts can be safety pinned to a hanger or placed in a ziplock bag.
• Stuffed animals will only be accepted if they "do" something like move, light up, or make noise. If they require batteries, they must have them.
• Videos must have their matching cover. We will not accept videos or dvds that are not in their original case.
• We will only accept car seats that are less than five years old. Please check the following websites for recalls on car seats: http://www.nhtsa.gov or www.carseat.org or call the D.O.T. Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT. We only accept car seats that have never been in an accident. Car seats must have a sticker on the base that gives manufacture information to be accepted. We will be checking this sticker at check-in. Consignors will be asked to sign a waiver at check-in verifying that their carseat is not on a recall list and has never been in an accident.

Be picky! Your buyers will be!
