Selling Guidelines

Please take note of the following selling guidelines and procedures to ensure that buyers have the best quality merchandise possible.

·        All toys must be CLEAN!!!! Please sanitize your toys to remove dirt and odors.  Dirty toys will NOT be accepted.

·        Toys requiring batteries - batteries must be included and toys must be in working condition.

·        All clothing must be washed, free of noticible stains, and hung on hangers. 

·        Please button/snap/etc. so items don’t fall off the hanger.  Use safety pins if necessary to keep on hangers. 

·        You will not get the hangers back.  I prefer you use wire hangers.  If you don't have enough, often you can ask for some at retail stores like Target, Old Navy, your dry cleaner, etc.  If you must buy hangers, please don't spend a lot - Walmart/99 Cent Store sells cheap wire hangers.   Clothing should be sorted by size and gender when brought to your drop-off appointment.

·        Minimum price on clothing is $2.00.  You can combine items on one hanger to get to $2.00 (e.g. 2 onsies) There is no minimum on non-clothing items.

·        Only in-season clothing will be accepted.

·        Maternity clothes are accepted.  However, in order for maternity clothes to sell, they must be the current season, a fairly new style, and not junky.  They may be comfortable, but if they aren’t cute, they won’t sell!

·        All shoes must be cleaned top and bottom, tied, safety pinned or strapped together with the tag pinned directly to the shoes. (Shoes have a tendancy to get separated during the sale - please secure as best as possible!!!)  No dirty, scuffed or too worn shoes will be accepted.

·        Toys with multiple/loose pieces must be packaged together in sealed plastic bags (e.g. Ziplock bags) and secured to larger items if necessary (e.g. legos that are being sold with lego tables).  THE TAG SHOULD GO ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE PLASTIC BAG.  Tape over the top of the plastic bag so that items are not removed from the bag.

·        Books – books must be in good condition with no writing inside or major page tears.  Board books must be wiped down to take off any dirt.  Put your price tag on the back cover of the book.

·        Linens – please hang if possible and secure all linen items together.

·        All items must have a seller information card (see below).  This is a 3” x 5” index card with the item name, seller identification #, garmet size (if clothing) and price on it.  This card should be affixed securely with tape (to plastic items) or safety pin (for clothing) by the seller BEFORE items are dropped off.  Items cannot be sold if the seller information card has fallen off and seller will receive no credit. 

                                     

Product Information Cards

Please make out your own product information cards and attach to your sale items before coming to drop them off.   Please print the following information on a 3” x 5” index card (or similar card) and pin/tape/fasten to your items.  Straight pins and staples are NOT OK on clothing.  PLEASE DO NOT VARY THE LAYOUT OF THE INFORMATION!!!  It is very important to have consistent tags so checking out at the register is as quick as possible.  You may print your tags out on the computer and/or use labels affixed to index cards as long as you follow the information format below.

 

The more clearly your item is marked, the better your item will sell (tags sometimes get detached from their item - a clear description helps find the missing items!).  Tape/pin/fasten very very securely on your items so the tag doesn't come off.

 

Clothing must be sorted by size and gender when brought to your drop-off appointment.   Bind each size together with a rubber band.  Minimum price on clothing is $2.00.  You can combine items if needed to get to a $2.00 minimum (i.e. sell 2 onesie's together - use only 1 hanger and safety pin the items together).

 

Example - Clothing Item (tag should be pinned securely on the upper right hand corner of the item).  All items should be on hangers with the hook facing the left (just like a question mark).
