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.

Use children's plastic hangers for sizes 10 and below. Use larger plastic hangers for sizes 12 and above. NO METAL/WIRE HANGERS, PLEASE! You may use retail hangers.

ACCEPTABLE ITEMS THIS SEASON

SHOES MUST BE IN GREAT CONDITION

Please only bring your LIKE-NEW shoes! Please follow these simple instructions when preparing your shoes. First, PLEASE PUT YOUR CONSIGNOR NUMBER AND PRICE ON A PIECE OF MASKING TAPE ON THE BOTTOM OF EACH SHOE. Then safety pin the string tag to a shoe lace or through the shoe eyelet. Put the shoes and string tag inside a ziploc bag. PREFERRED PREP: You can also simply ziptie your shoes together if you don't want to use a bag. SHOES THAT ARE WORN, DIRTY OR HAVE SCUFF MARKS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. It is also a great idea to ziptie shoes together so they do not get separated. Again, we are limiting size 8+ (larger sizes) to 10 pairs per consignor.

BEDDING

NEW THIS EVENT: We will no longer be accepting bedding, but we WILL still be accepting blankets, crib and toddler bed sheets & pack & play/changing table covers!

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 and seal with clear plastic tape. Safety pin tag to ziploc bag.

LOOSE ITEMS

Bottles, bibs, rattles, socks, bows, etc group together appropriately in ziploc bags. Seal with clear packing tape. Pin tag to ziploc bag. It also helps to write your consignor number and price on the ziploc with a Sharpie in case the tag comes off during the sale. *We cannot accept used bottle nipples or pacifiers. Those need to be new and in the package*

NEW: We are no longer accepting Breast Pumps!

TOYS, FURNITURE AND BABY EQUIPMENT

FIRST, PLEASE WRITE YOUR CONSIGNOR NUMBER AND A PRICE ON A PIECE OF MASKING TAPE AND ATTACH TO THE ITEM. This will allow us to sell your item if the tag happens to fall off. All items 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, 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.

We will only accept Disney or other 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. A helpful resource is 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.
