Here are some guidelines to help as you prepare your items for the sale. Click here to see what is acceptable and not acceptable for the sale.

Supplies Needed

HANGERS – in order to protect your clothing items we only accept plastic hangers. Find plastic hangers at Wal-Mart, Target, Dollar Stores. Retail plastic hangers are acceptable too.

STRING TAGS – Avery White Marking Tags Strung (size 1.75 x 1.093 inches) are required on each item to affix our barcode labels to. You can find these at Wal-Mart, office supply stores, the Rhea Lana Store or large quantities may be purchased from Amazon.

You’ll also need re-sealable bags (for shoes, small toys, etc…), masking tape, scotch tape, sharpie, and safety pins. For large quantities of quality safety pins we recommend ordering from Cleaners Supply .

If you would like to print your barcodes at home you’ll need adhesive address labels size 1” X 2 5/8” (30 up). We recommend ordering from Amazon Here. Please note: all labels printed at home MUST be printed in color.

Clothing

The better they look, the better they sell! Please take time to wash and iron your clothes if necessary. Please check for stains, broken zippers, torn hemlines, etc. We will be double checking at the store and will not accept any item that is not in excellent condition. Use size appropriate plastic hangers. NO METAL HANGERS, please! Plastic hangers can be purchased at discount stores. This makes shopping more pleasant for everyone!

We are receiving only SPRING and SUMMER children's, junior, and maternity clothing for this sale. Please group items together so that they will equal a value of at least $4.00. They may be pinned together on a hanger.

All pants, shorts, and skirts must be pinned to a hanger, not folded over, as they tend to end up on the floor.

Safety pin all sets and accessories securely together AND to the hanger. With pants/skirts hung on the back of the shirt at the waist. Both pieces need to be viewable without unpinning them.

Shoes

We have a shoe limit of 15 pairs per gender per consignor code. Please only bring your like-new shoes!

First, put your consignor number and price on masking tape on the bottom of both shoes. Second, safety pin the price tag to a shoe lace or through the shoe eyelet. Finally, put the shoes and price tag connected together with a zip tie.

Bedding

It is best to package a bedding set together in its original clear plastic bag with zipper. These can also be purchased at discount stores.

AGAIN THIS SEASON: NO CRIB BUMPERS

Blankets

Hang and pin blankets over hangers so that shoppers can see them. If they are small receiving blankets, group 3 or 4 together.

Loose Items

Bottles, rattles, small toys, etc. group together in clear cellophane bags (these can be found on Amazon). Seal with clear packing tape. Pin tag to bag. It also helps to write your consignor number and info on the bag with a sharpIe in case the tag comes off during the sale.

*PRO TIP* Purchase clear self seal cellophane bags from Amazon for these items. We promise they will sell SOOO MUCH BETTER and they are actually cheaper than zip locks!!

Toys, Furniture, & Equipment

Must be clean and in working order (batteries included.) Small parts must be bagged and attached to the main part very securely. If parts get separated it will not sell. Games should be taped closed. Puzzles, books, DVDs and small toys should be grouped accordingly and put in cellophane bags. Secure with clear packing tape and pin tag to the bag. It is also good to write your consignor number and info on the bag with a sharpie in case the tag comes off. Puzzles should be wrapped securely in clear Saran wrap to keep the pieces intact.

TOYS NOT PACKAGED APPROPRIATELY WILL BE TURNED AWAY.

We will only accept Disney, Build a Bear, TY, Squishmallows or other name brand stuffed animals in like new condition.

Large Little Tikes Toys and Furniture are in high demand! When tagging large toys it is best to also attach a piece of masking tape to the toy with your consignor information. This will enable us to sell your toy even if the tag comes off! We sell 95% of Toys, Furniture and Baby Equipment!

Toy recall information- Due to the high number of toy recalls during the past year, we will be inspecting toys very carefully.
