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 and limits

This is our All Season Event

We will take all season wear. We will accept NEW WITH TAG winter and holiday clothing. All season shirts, pants, swim gear, outside toys, sports. Holiday clothes that will NOT be accepted is Valentine�s Day, St Patrick�s day and Easter.

Whenever possible, put outfits together! Moms love to buy these! We also recommend to "bundle" items together (pinning more than one item to a single hanger). This is if you can't make an outfit or fulfill the $4.00 minimum price point with just one item. Families love purchasing deals and will typically pass up just one pair of pants or shirt for $4.00 unless it's a specific brand. We suggest "bundling" pants with other pants and bundle shirts with other shirts. When "bundling" please make sure they are all the same size! If they are different sizes, they will not be accepted at check in and usually don't sell.

The better your items look, the better they sell! Please take time to wash and iron your clothes if necessary. Please check for stains, broken zippers or snaps, torn hemlines, missing buttons etc..

We will be double-checking at the store and will not accept any item that is not in excellent condition.

Use small plastic hangers for sizes 6 and below. Use larger plastic hangers for sizes 7 and above. No wire or metal hangers, please!

Please note that there is a 25 hanger per gender limit on sizes 0-12 months and Juniors. A 10 hanger limit on Maternity clothing.

Please group items together so that they will equal a value of at least $4.00 as that is our minimum price allowance.

There is a 200 total item limit per Consignor ID. There is a $12.00 Consignor Fee per Consignor ID.

Please watch the how-to Consign video above for specific clothing prep info!

All items must be free and clear of stains, holes, pet hair and odors. Any items with these will be rejected.

Shoes

Please only bring your like-new shoes! 1) Put your consignor number and price on masking tape on the bottom of the shoes, this will help if they get separated. 2) Safety pin the price tag to a shoelace or through the shoe eyelet. Put the shoes and price tag inside a Ziploc bag or zip-tie them together.

Bedding

It is best to package a bedding set together in its original clear plastic bag with a zipper. Large Ziploc bags can also be purchased to keep bedding clean and together. They sell the XL bags at dollar stores.
