OPTION #1. ATTACH YOUR LABELS IN THE STORE - We will print your labels and have them ready for you when you get to the store. You will label your items at the store on one of the regular Drop Off Days. (This is the most popular option.) Please allow one hour per 100-150 items. ALL ITEMS ARE GUARANTEED AGAINST LOSS WITH THIS DROP OFF OPTION.

You may print your labels at home ON A COLOR PRINTER (please follow the directions CAREFULLY that appear after you enter your items. FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CAN COST YOU MONEY WHEN YOUR ITEMS SELL FOR HALF PRICE BECAUSE YOU DID NOT PRINT YOUR LABELS CORRECTLY.) 1. Attach your labels at home. 2. Bring your items to the store IN ORDER. 3. We inspect your items IN ORDER. Items that are not in order will waive the guarantee. 4. After a short inspection, YOU put your items onto the floor. 5.

We are allowing volunteers and consignors to bring either their spouse or parent with them to help them shop, not a sister or best friend. You may give your guest pass to your sister or friend & meet them at the Guest Sale later in the evening. Our volunteers and consignors have worked hard to earn this special shopping privilege and we want to honor them. We will be checking!
We strongly suggest that you make other arrangements for your kiddos for the Pre-Sale Event simply because of lines and crowds. Shopping without your little ones will be much less stressful for you (and them.) Be sure to bring your kids' sizes, measurements and a tape measure with you, but treat yourself to a night out without kids while you have fun shopping with other moms.
We suggest you set the price at 25%-30% of the retail value. Baby Equipment, Furniture and Large Indoor/Outdoor Toys usually sell for more and are in high demand. We have an abundance of 0-9 month sizes, so they must be priced competitively in order to sell. Maternity and Junior clothing are not shopped as heavily, so price these competitively, also.

Place them in a ziplock bag and then seal the ziplock with clear packing tape. This is important!
First, be sure to affix the barcode label to the string tag; do not stick it directly onto the item or the bag. Then attach the string tag to the item and tag inside the bag. Make sure the tag is visible.
We suggest you bring a laundry basket with your name on it. Large bags will need to be checked at the door.
If it meets our "excellence quality" standards, then group it together with one or two more like items. Pin them together on a hanger, or group them in a ziplock bag and put one price for the entire group.
WRINKLED CLOTHES DO NOT SELL! We will likely send them home to you if they are extremely wrinkled. Please do what is necessary to make your clothes look clean and nice. Remember, the better they look, the more likely they are to sell!
Yes, you may enter additional batches until the 'cut off' time. YOU WILL BE CHARGED ONE $11.50 CONSIGNOR FEE PER BATCH/300 ITEMS, so you will want to make sure that each batch has the maximum number of 300 items before you open/start a new batch.
We are not able to accept ANY clothing that has odor of any kind. When it is hung on the rack with other clothes, the odor spreads. We must be sensitive to children and families with allergies and we absolutely cannot sell any items with smoke odor, pet odor, or any other kind of odor. Clothing with pet hair is also not acceptable.
