Do I get my hangers back after the sale?

  • You do receive your hangers back on unsold items.

Where do I get hangers?

  • Dry cleaners often recycle hangers.

  • Walmart and Dollar stores sell inexpensive hangers.

Can you explain the limitations on Onesies & Sleepers?

  • We define “onesies” as the snap-style shirts that you buy in a bag. Most moms use these as undershirts. The snap-style shirts you buy at Old Navy, GAP, Children’s Place, etc., that are used to create an outfit – these can be placed on hangers. Rule of Thumb: onesies that were bought in a bag should be sold in a bag (Gerber, Honors, etc.). You may choose to put 2 or 3 coordinating onesies in one zip-Loc to sell for one price. We limit ten (10) bags per consignor. There is no limit for those nicer onesies on hangers – just make sure they are seasonally appropriate.

  • What about sleepers? We use the same Rule of Thumb as “onesies”: sleepers that were bought in a bag should be sold in a bag (Gerber, Honors, etc.). You may choose to put 2 or 3 coordinating sleepers in one zip-Loc to sell for one price. We limit ten (10) bags per consignor. Better brands and sleeper outfits can be placed on a hanger of which there is no limit.

What kind of items will you accept for the summer sale?

  • We accept all items relating to infants – teen and maternity. This includes clothing, toys, play yards, accessories, shoes, videos, books, etc. All items must be in excellent condition, in CURRENT style, and include batteries if needed. Please do not bring anything that is torn, stained or with missing pieces. All items will go through a quality screening process.

Is there a fee for participating?

  • Yes, there is a $15.00 registration fee to cover venue/insurance/marketing that will be deducted from sale proceeds.  There is no fee due at registration or to list inventory.
    If you plan to work the sale, at least ONE 4-hour shift, $5 will be credited towards your registration fee and if you choose NOT to work at least one 4-hour shift  the full $15 registration fee will be deducted from your sale proceeds following the event conclusion.
    If you would like to help during the event, you can learn more by going to our volunteer section for details.

What percentage do I make?​

  • You will receive 70% of the selling price from each item sold. If you choose to have us Pick-Up, Prep & Tag your items your percentage is then 50% of the selling price. You determine which option you'd like at registration time.
