Clothing
- We will accept only Fall and Winter clothing for our Fall sales and Spring and Summer clothing for our Spring sales, with the exception of newborn clothing.
- Wash/Dry Clean all clothing items. Make sure to remove all stains from the items (any items with stains present will not be accepted for resale). One of the best stain removal solutions we have tried is to soak the item in an "oxyclean type" solution. Most stains will dissapear as if they were never there! Oxyclean can be purchased (buy the powder form) at most grocery stores, Wal-Mart, Target, etc.
- Repair any "blemishes" to the clothing item. ex. replace buttons, sew loose hems, make sure zippers work, etc.
- Hang your items on clothes hangers (you can purchase a set of hangers at Wal-Mart or many dollar stores for under $1.00). Please make sure that the hanger hook represents a "question mark" when looking at the front of the item on the hanger. The tag will be placed on the right side of the item as you are looking at the item.
*You will need to use two large safety pins to hang pants, shorts, and skirts onto the hanger. You cannot fold these items over the hanger or they will eventually fall off. If you have any questions about this process please e-mail us. Again, larger sizes and maternity pants can be folded over adult hangers
*All sets of clothing need to be pinned together. ex. Pin shorts, pants, skirts, and bloomers to the hanger and backs of the cooridinating tops. If you have socks, hair bows, shoes, etc that go with an outfit please place these items in a ziploc type baggie and safety pin the baggie to the outfit.
*Shoes must be in excellent, like new condition. Please ties laces, buckle buckles, etc. Tie each pair of shoes together with a ribbon/string then place each pair of shoes in a ziploc type baggie. To prevent pairs from being separated please securly tape baggies after placing shoes inside.
Shoes
Toys
- All toys must be clean and in good condition. Cosmetic scratches are okay as long as the toy still looks decent enough to sell.
- You must provide working batteries with any battery operated toy. Customers are more likely to buy a toy that they know works. You can buy a package of several batteries at many dollar stores, Big Lots, etc. Your battery operated toys must have working batteries in order to be accepted.
- Please place all toys with small parts in a ziploc type baggie. The toy must have all parts in order to be accepted for resale. Please write on your description, the name of the toy and "all parts included".
- Games and puzzles will be accepted only when all original pieces and parts are available and the game or puzzle is in it's original box. Please be sure to tape boxes closed
- Books must be in like new condition. They may not have any markings or torn pages in them. Group books of same subject, reading/age level, etc together and place in a ziploc type baggie. Write on the bag how many books are in the set.

- NO USED STUFFED ANIMALS!!!! Please! (unless battery operated and very clean)
- Large toys such as play houses, art centers, tents, etc are great sellers! Please make sure they are clean and in working condition. If you need help transporting these items please e-mail us.
