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!

1) Check for stains, broken zippers, torn hemlines, missing buttons, etc. We will be double checking at the store and will not receive any item that is not in excellent condition.

2) Wash and iron your clothes!

3) USE PLASTIC HANGERS ONLY! Please, no wire hangers; we will kindly ask you to switch to plastic hangers if items are brought to Drop-Off on wire hangers! This makes shopping more pleasant for everyone. Clothes tend to fall off wire hangers and may be overlooked and not purchased if on the floor. Note: Use children's plastic hangers for sizes 8 and below. Use larger plastic hangers for sizes 10 and above. Plastic hangers can be purchased at discount stores like Walmart & Target. Some retail clothing stores will gladly give you plastic hangers upon your request!
***When hanging your clothing items, make sure the hanger is facing to the left so it looks like a question mark - ?***

4) Group items together so that they will equal a value of at least $4.00. Infant sleeping gowns or onesies and children's pajamas are great to group together as a set of 2 or 3. They may be pinned together on one hanger.

5) Use larger safety pins to attach all pants to a hanger, ironed flat front. Pants that are folded over on a hanger tend to end up on the floor.

6) All sets and accessories need to be pinned securely together, with pants hung on the back of the shirt; pin the waist of the pants to the shoulders of the shirt. Both pieces need to be seen without unpinning them. If a shirt/pant set are on separate hangers, rubber band the hangers together.

7) When you are preparing and sorting your clothing items, sort them by gender and size. This will make your online entry process more organized AND will save you a lot of time at Drop-Off.

Shoes

Please only bring your like-new shoes, sandals, boots and slippahs!

Shoes are difficult to tag, so please follow these guidelines to insure shoes remain together:
1) Write your consignor # and price on masking tape, placing on bottom of both shoes.

2) Safety pin the price tag to a shoe lace or through the shoe eyelet.

3) Shoes can be zip tied together or placed inside a Ziploc bag with the price tag attached.

ZIP TIED IS OUR PREFERRED METHOD!!

Blankets & Bedding

BLANKETS - Hang and pin blankets over hangers so that the item is fully visible to shoppers. If you have small receiving blankets, group 2 or 3 together in a Ziploc bag. Secure the bag closed with clear packing tape. Tape or pin the string part of the tag to the outside of the Ziploc bag leaving the tag itself free & dangling. It also helps to write your consignor # and info directly onto the Ziploc with a Sharpie in case the tag comes off during the sale.

BEDDING - We only accept kids bedding in crib thru full size that would be suitable for a child's bedroom. It is best to package a bedding set together in its original clear plastic bag with zipper. Large plastic bags can also be purchased at discount stores to keep bedding clean & together. Label any bedding set with everything that is included and the size. Tape or pin the string part of the tag to the outside of the Ziploc bag leaving the tag itself free & dangling. It also helps to write your consignor # and info directly onto the Ziploc with a Sharpie in case the tag comes off during the sale.

Board puzzles need to be wrapped securely with clear plastic wrap to keep all pieces intact.

Books & DVDs do not need to be placed in plastic bags unless they are being bundled. If applying the string tag directly to a book or game (without a plastic bag), kindly use blue painter's tape or masking tape. It will help minimize damage when the tape is removed.
