General Guidance

Help us, help you sell your gently used children’s items!

This guide gives you general information and tips on best practices that lead to a higher sell-through percentage and helps prevent tags from being separated from your items. Lost Tags = Lost Sales!

Requirements

  • Add working batteries to all items.
  • Costumes / dress up go on a hanger (sell better in Fall / Winter).
  • CLEAN all items well: wipe them down with a wet or dry cloth. Check for stains, rips, tears, holes, odors or damage.
  • Attach the tag using pins, packing tape, masking / painters tape or zip ties; depending on the material of the item.
  • Use only one barcode tag per item. (either normal tag or large item tag)
  • Very all parts and working order. 
  • Pins must be run through the tag twice on clothing to prevent from being torn free from item.
  • Fold packing tape over hangers of larger clothing and pin through the clothing AND the packing tape to secure items to the hanger.
  • Complete the Car Seat Checklist for all car seats.
  • Annotate manufacturers date on all cribs, car seats, car seat boosters, car seat bases, mattresses and baby bathtubs.

Recommendations

  • Organize your items into groups by type: toys, clothing, equipment, etc. Sort all clothing by gender, type, and size. Sorting before entering items will save you time, as you’ll only have to re-enter the price and description for each new item. Item categories remain the same until you change them.
  • Zip tie bags or multiple pieces to the large item.
  • With large items, we suggest also placing a piece of masking tape directly on the toy with your consignor number, item number, and price. This will enable us to sell your item even if the tag comes off!
  • Use masking or painters tape to attach tag on items that tape would damage.
  • Bagged items – attach tag to item inside the bag.  
  • Instruction and Warranty Documentation – added bonus for buyers on larger items! Visit the manufacturer’s website to download instructions; use a zip-lock bag and zip tie to item.
  • Use packing tape to seal baggies.
  • Use packing tape folder over part of tag when tag could be torn free from item (i.e. when punching hole for zip tie).
  • Bag any small parts and securely attach the bag to the main item.
  • Use masking or painters tape for books, DVDs, games, puzzles or other items where regular tape may damage the item.

Tagging Guidance & Tips

Check all infant equipment, toys, etc for recalls and safety notices on the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CSPC) website.

Large Item Tags

Print a large item tag, 2-to-a-page format, for larger toys, furniture, larger items that are too bulky to carry around, items that don’t fit in an IKEA bag, and High-Value merchandise (that gets secured near the registers). 

Here are a couple of YouTube videos on Large Item tags for you to check out: 

How to access and print large item tag format  

How to attach large item tag 

Examples of items that need large tags:

High-Value items, Activity Tables, Ball Pit Balls & Pits, Bassinets, Bicycles, Trailers, Booster Seats, Changing Tables, Cribs, Desks, Exersaucers, XL Toys, Large Doll Houses, Kitchens, Outdoor Games & Toys, Train Tables, Scooters, Sports Equipment, Strollers, Tents, Tunnels, Work Benches, Toy Chests, Furniture, & Unicycles 

High-Value Merchandise

High-Value Items that need to be secured to the yellow rack near the registers should be valued at $20 or more. These items require large item tags to be secured at the yellow rack near the registers. Sellers must secure these items to the rack with zip ties. High value clothing sells better mixed in with clothing.

Outerwear (i.e. heavy winter coats, snow pants) gets separated out from clothing and bundled by size and gender.  

Costumes get separated out from clothing and bundled by size and gender. These will be dropped off in the clothing area.

*Bundling with rubber bands is an integral part of the inspection process as well as making flooring clothing quicker. Be prepared to leave the rubber bands on the clothing when you arrive.

Teen sizes 00-1 & XXS: bundle with XS

Teen sizes 2-5: bundle with S

Teen sizes 6-9: bundle with M

When gathering your tagged items for check-in day please use bags and NOT boxes when possible – paper grocery bags, old gift bags, shopping bags, etc. If you use them, please take boxes back home with you.

We plan to reduce the amount of cardboard waste each sale which will also help reduce the amount of time we spend breaking down cardboard boxes and trips to the dumpster. Thanks so much!
