Prep Your Items
All items should be clean and clothing should be wrinkle free. The extra steps you take in making your items look their best, the better they will sell. Our customers are expecting a higher quality than garage sales, so please take the time to make your items shine.
What you bring in others buy and what you buy others bring in. Bring only what you would buy.
Recalls – Before starting, check to see if any of your items have been recalled. It is your responsibility to make sure none of your items have been recalled. Please check out the Safety & Recall Info page for information on some specific items and for resources to check on the status of your items.

Tagging Tips
-
Place all garments on hangers with the hook facing to the left (so that it looks like a question mark)
​
-
If you are using a tagging gun, please attach tag to the label inside or the seam of the left sleeve.
​
-
We will not accept any clothing items that have the barb placed directly in the clothing, this will put a hole in the item
​
-
Toys and equipment should be securely tagged with packing tape across the top third of the tag
​
-
Do not place tape over the barcode
Shoes
-
Secure shoes together with zip-ties/ cable ties (best method) or ribbon by looping the cable-tie/ribbon through the shoelace hole or a strap (that can't be adjusted) on each shoe and tie them together.
-
Use Ziploc bags for small shoes with the tag taped or pinned to the outside. You can group several pairs of baby shoes or booties together in a bag as they may sell better this way.
-
It is also helpful to write your consignor number on a piece of masking tape and affix it to the bottom of each shoe, in case the tag is separated during the sale.
