When you bring your items in they will need to be sorted by sex and size.
Please note: your item numbers do not have to be in order by sex and size on your inventory sheet.
HANG ON HANGERS/PACKAGE ITEMS:
- Hang your clothing on hangers. Use safety pins to attach pants to the top of the hanger. Multiple items should be safety pinned together. Please do not use straight pins.
- Place small items such as socks, undergarments, hats, belts, pajamas, small blankets in zip top bags.
- Place CLEAN shoes in zip top bags
- Place toys and all appropriate pieces in zip top bags. Shrink wrap or tape (blue painters tape or clear packaging tape works great and is easy to remove when sold) to ensure all parts stay together.
The consignment sale committee reserves the right to reject any item at any time. If items are rejected for sale purposes, they will be returned to the consignor on Saturday or donated to charity.
