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.

For shoes, put your consignor number and price on masking tape on the bottom of both shoes. Then safety pin the price tag to a shoe lace or through the shoe eyelet.

We prefer that you zip tie the shoes together rather than putting them in a plastic bag. Each Consignor number will hold up to 200 items - this is what is included in your $10 participation fee.

Blankets & Swaddles

Hang and pin blankets over hangers so that shoppers can see them. If they are small receiving blankets, group 2 or 3 together on a hanger and pin them together. Safety pin the tag to the blankets.

Misc. Items

Items sell better when they are on a hanger rather than in a bag. Items such as bibs, burp cloths, cloth diapers and onesies should be placed on a hanger and secured with a safety pin. Also use a safety pin to attach the string tag to the item.

Bottles, rattles, socks, bows, etc group together appropriately in ziploc bags. Attach the string tag to the inside of the bag using a small piece of tape on the top part of the string tag.

Please do not tape your bags closed until after they have gone through consignor check in. It also helps to write your consignor number and info on the plastic bag with a permanent marker in case the tag comes off during the sale.

We will not accept used nipples or pacifiers - only new, in the package of these items.

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.

Books and DVD's do not need to be put in ziplock bags. If are you grouping them you can place them in a ziplock bag.

Attach the string tag to the inside of the bag using a small piece of tape at the top of the string tag. 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.

All toys and games MUST include ALL pieces. TOYS NOT PACKAGED APPROPRIATELY WILL BE TURNED AWAY.

We are only able to accept stuffed animals that are battery operated or a name brand (Such as Disney, Build-a-Bear, etc).

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

***Due to recall regulations by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, we will not be accepting ANY drop side cribs.***

Consigning 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.

Recalled Items

We cannot accept recalled items.
We ask that you refer to the Consumer Product Safety Commission website (https://www.cpsc.gov/)and make sure your items have not been recalled, especially furniture and baby equipment. We care immensely about the safety of children! We also have recall books available for you to refer to while you are in the store.
