Plastic hangers are required for all clothing items. Please do not use wire hangers. Clothing does not stay securely on wire hangers during our busy shopping days, and items that fall to the floor are less likely to sell.
Use children's plastic hangers for sizes 6 and below and adult-size plastic hangers for sizes 7 and up. Store hangers from places like Old Navy or Target are perfectly fine.
Plastic hangers only, please - no wire hangers.
Place all small or loose pieces in a Ziploc bag and securely attach the bag to the toy or equipment using clear packing tape.
Make sure all pieces stay with the item and cannot be easily removed or separated while shoppers are handling it. Items with missing pieces are much less likely to sell.
Be sure to write your Consignor Code on all loose pieces in case they become separated from the main item.
Please secure everything carefully before Consignor Check-In.
