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.

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

Use small PLASTIC hangers for sizes 8 and below. Use larger PLASTIC hangers for sizes 10 and above. No metal hangers, please! Plastic hangers can be purchased at discount stores. This makes shopping more pleasant for everyone!

To view the acceptable items for our upcoming event go to the consign tab and then acceptable items from the drop menu.

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. Please do not enter one single onesie or one single sleeper (unless they are boutique brands). These items will not sell individually. Bundle them to make a great deal!

All pants must be clipped or pinned to a hanger, not folded over, as they tend to end up on the floor and shoppers want to see the entire pant to purchase.

Safety pin all sets and accessories securely together with pants hung on the back of the shirt. Both pieces need to be viewable without unpinning them.

Shoes

We will be accepting clean shoes in great condition! As shoes can be difficult to tag, please follow these guidelines to be sure shoes remain together:

1) Write your consignor number and price on masking tape, placing on bottom of both shoes, this will help if they get separated.

2) Use a zip-tie to keep shoes together, and safety pin the price tag to a shoe lace or through the shoe eyelet.

Seasonal event reminder:
No boots for the spring/summer event.
No flip flops for the fall/winter event.

WE WILL NOT ACCEPT SHOES WITH SCUFFED TOES, DIRTY OR DISCOLORED SOLES.

Bedding

We will only be accepting crib sheets and children's-themed twin-sized sheets for the bedding section. We will NOT be accepting comforters, crib bumpers, or any bedding items above twin-sized.

Blankets

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, but do not seal them until we have a chance to inspect them at check-in. 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.

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 the item will not sell. Games should be taped closed. Puzzles, books, videos and small toys should be grouped accordingly and put in ziploc bags. 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. Puzzles should be wrapped securely in clear Saran wrap to keep the pieces intact. TOYS NOT PACKAGED APPROPRIATELY WILL BE TURNED AWAY.

We will only accept name-brand stuffed animals in like new condition.

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!

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. Also for a helpful resource made available by the Consumer Product Safety Commission Click here.

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. For our fall event, the car seat must have been manufactured AFTER March of 2020.

Furniture Nook!

Consign your nursery, kid's room or play-room furniture with us. Furniture items, such as gliders, beds, desks, game chairs, kid's tables and chairs and other furniture items sell REALLY WELL WHEN PRICED APPROPRIATELY. All furniture must be in EXCELLENT condition and clean. Price these items at 25%-30% of retail.
FURNITURE SELLS REALLY WELL IF PRICED APPROPRIATELY!

CRIBS

Due to the thousands of recalls and the crib regulations being raised, we will not sell any crib manufactured before June 2011. Contact the manufacturer of your crib to find out if it is recalled. Most companies will send you a repair kit or give you instructions on how to return your crib for a refund.
We DO accept pack-and-plays and bassinets.
