The following guidelines will help you prepare your items for the Spring 2011 sale:

CLOTHING
All clothing must comply with the following guidelines.

Please note that you must have a minimum of 20 items or at least $100 worth of items to be eligible to consign.

The better your clothing looks, the better it will sell! If necessary, please take time to wash and iron your clothes. Please check for stains, fade, broken zippers, frayed hemlines, missing buttons, etc. We will be inspecting items at check-in and will not receive any item that is not in excellent condition. All clothing must be hung on hangers.

We are accepting only FALL and WINTER Baby, Children's, and Maternity clothing for the FALL 2011 sale

$2.50 rule: If you have single clothing items that you value at less than $2.50, please group them together with like items so that they will equal a value of at least $2.50. Please note that items may be pinned together on a hanger.

All pants 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. With pants hung on the back of the shirt at the waist. Both pieces need to be viewable without unpinning them.

SHOES
Please only bring your clean, like-new shoes.   Shoes can be difficult to tag.  If at all possible, zip tie the shoes together and then pin the tag to the zip tie.  If shoes cannot be zip tied (not sure why that would be), please secure them together in the best way possible and pin or tape tag shoes.

BEDDING
It is best to package large bedding sets together in a clear plastic bag with zipper. Smaller bedding sets may be hung over a large hanger and secured with safety pins.

BLANKETS
Hang and pin blankets over hangers so that shoppers can see them. If they are small receiving blankets, group 2 or 3 together.

LOOSE ITEMS
Bottles, bibs, rattles, socks, bows, etc group together appropriately in Ziplock bags. Seal with clear packing tape. Pin tag to Ziplock bag.

TOYS, FURNITURE AND 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 Ziplock bags. Secure with clear packing tape and pin tag to the Ziplock bag. TOYS NOT PACKAGED APPROPRIATELY WILL BE TURNED AWAY.

Large Little Tykes Toys and Furniture are in high demand! Let us know if you need help with picking up your large toy items.

TOY RECALL INFORMATION
Toy recall information - Due to the high number of toy recalls during the past year, we will be inspecting toys very carefully. We reserve the right to pull any toy that we think might have been recalled. To help us, please do not bring any toys that have been subject to a recall. You may check the following website for current toy recalls:   www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/category/toy.html

CAR SEATS
Your car seat must have been manufactured within the past five years. It must not be subject to recall or have been in an accident. You may check the following website for current recalls: www.carseat.org/Recalls/179NP.pdf

All seat covers and straps must be thoroughly cleaned. You will be asked to sign a car seat waiver stating your car seat has all the pieces and is in excellent condition and not more than five years old. Car seats will be closely inspected for safety reasons. 


PRICING RECOMMENDATIONS

Pricing your items is always a challenge as you attempt to balance receiving fair market value with the risk of over pricing or under pricing your items.  There are several "rules of thumb" for pricing based upon a percentage of the retail price.  However, given all of the other factors involved in pricing such as quality, market demand, etc., there really is no magic formula beyond what the market will bear at any given point in time.  However, in an effort to ensure that you have the best chance of selling your items, we can provide some guidance.  As such, you may download and utilize these pricing schedules:
