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.

Please only bring in Fall/Winter appropriate clothing. We will allow up to 5 short sleeved shirts per consignor code, but no sleeveless shirts, shorts, bathing suits, sundresses, sandals, flip flops, ect.

We have new limits on certain sizes:
25 Junior items (boys or girls) per consignor.
25 Womens boutique/designer brand items per consignor.

We will be double checking at the store and will not receive any item that is not in excellent condition.

Use small PLASTIC hangers for sizes 7 and below. Use larger PLASTIC hangers for sizes 8 and above. No metal hangers, please! Plastic hangers can be purchased at discount stores. This makes shopping more pleasant for everyone!

Please group items together so that they will equal a value of at least $4.00. They need to be pinned together as well so they don't get separated.

All pants must be clipped or 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

We will be accepting like-new Fall/Winter shoes (no sandals).

Shoes are difficult to tag, so please follow these guidelines to be sure shoes remain together:

1) Write your consignor number and price on masking tape and place on bottom of both shoes.

2) Safety pin the price tag to a shoe lace or through the shoe eyelet.

3) Place both shoes (with attached price tag) inside a Ziploc bag or use a large safety pin to pin them together. Or your can purchase zip ties and zip tie them together.

Bedding and Blankets

It is best to package a bedding set together in its original clear plastic bag with zipper. If you no longer have the original bag, you can purchase Extra Large Ziploc plastic bags at discount stores. Seal the bag with clear packing tape and pin the string tag to the bag. It also helps to write your consignor number and price on the Ziploc bag with a Sharpie in the case that the tag comes off during the sale. Shoppers also like to see a picture of the set (if one is available) or a list of all the items included in the set. Tape these items inside the Ziploc bag.

Hang and pin blankets over hangers so that shoppers can see them. If they are small receiving blankets, group 2 or 3 together in a Ziploc bag and seal with clear plastic tape. Safety pin the tag to the Ziploc bag. It helps to write your consignor number and price on the Ziploc bag with a Sharpie in the case that the string tag comes off during the sale.

Loose Items

Any loose items such as bottles, bibs, rattles, socks, bows, etc. should be grouped together appropriately in Ziploc bags. Seal with clear packing tape and pin the string tag to Ziploc bag. It helps to write your consignor number and price on the Ziploc bag with a Sharpie in the case that the string tag comes off during the sale.

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.

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. Books and videos do not need to be put in Ziploc bags unless you are grouping them together. In that case, secure with clear packing tape and pin tag to the ziploc bag. It is also good to write your consignor number and info on the ziploc bag with a Sharpie in case the tag comes off. DVD's and video games should not be taped shut until after they have been through consignor check in. Puzzles should be wrapped securely in clear Saran wrap to keep the pieces intact. TOYS NOT PACKAGED APPROPRIATELY WILL BE TURNED AWAY.



We are only able to accept stuffed animals that are battery operated or a name brand.


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!
