Recalls

It’s your responsibility as a seller to check for recalls on products you are selling. Check out the link below for one of many resources.

  • Please DO NOT make duplicate tags for your items, this can be confusing to shoppers
  • To increase your sales and create a more eye appealing display, hang items such as: Blankets/infant towels, bloomers/tights, infant carriers/slings, purses/diaper bags, onsies (no Ziploc bags for any of these items…trust us ,they will sell better)
  • For items with multiple pieces,  double check that all pieces are present before placing a handwritten note on the tag stating- ALL PIECES included.
  • Minimum item price of $3 can Price in .50 cent increments. Consider allowing your items to sell at a discount on the last day, 50% is better than nothing.
  • Use white card stock only for printing tags on. (We have another color for a particular reasons.)
  • Required- Place masking tape with your consignor/item number and price on the bottom of multiple pieces and on the bottoms of shoes in case item and tag are separated.
  • If your item is brought to sale as stained or with a missing button etc and we miss it at inspection and a customer wants to purchase, we reserve the right to sell it for the discounted price (this includes NO DISC items). If items are not clean and in good selling condition we reserve the right to donate. We do not have space to store large items that are not sell-able.
  • Please use appropriate size hangers. Some items have scoop/v necks & they need to be pinned to the hanger through the clothing seams. If the items are under a size 5-6 use a childs hanger or if over use an adult hanger to make items have their best presentation for selling.
