PREPARING ITEMS

If the item looks good then it sells faster and fetches a better price. A little effort goes a long way!

Please see the Tagging & Pricing section for more specific instructions on how to hang and tag your items.

HERE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS

Clothing should be clean, pressed, no rips/tears/stains and all buttons and zippers be present and working.

Use small hangers, particularly for baby clothing.

Hang the clothing item so that the hook is open to the left when the clothes are facing front.
(like a question mark)

Two-piece items with pants, shorts or skirts should have the safety pin pinned to the back of the hanger (through the hanger to prevent tearing)

  • Pin pants securely and high on hanger to avoid sliding; please do not fold pants over hanger. Do not use pant hangers with clips (it's too easy for the pants to become separated from the hanger).
  • With clothing sets, pin the bottom behind the shirt on the hanger. Buyers need to be able to inspect all items easily.

Bundle things like pj's, onsies, socks and bibs in sets of two or three in a plastic bag. There will be special stations set up on tables for these items.

Toys and equipment should have all small pieces bagged and taped to the main item. All toys must be in good, working condition with batteries.
(Ziplock bags and BLUE painters tape, it is much easier to remove).

Furniture, Bouncy Seats, Play Pens, Cribs and Swings sell better when they are on display.
