Questions about consigning? We've got you covered.
What types of payments are acceptable to purchase items?
Cash, and we also accept, for a small convenience charge, major credit cards such as MasterCard, and Visa. We accept bank checks only from our sellers.
What happens to my items if I don’t pick them up?
Unsold items that are not claimed at pick-up will be donated to charity.
When do I pick up my items that don’t sell?
Designated pick-up days/hours are listed on the seller event schedule. Or, you can choose to donate your items on the last day of the sale. In this case, you wouldn’t need to return to the event venue.
When do I check-in my items?
Designated check-in days are listed on the seller event schedule.
When I price items in a zip-top bag, how do I attach the price tag?
Attach the price tag securely and place both the item and tag inside the zip-top bag. Make sure the price tag is visible for scanning at checkout.
How do I secure small pieces to toys or equipment?
Place them in a zip-top bag and seal the bag with clear packing tape. This is important! Secure the bag to large items with masking tape, string, or ribbon.
When Should I Use a No Discount Tag?
We recommend only using No Discount when the item is priced competitively and/or is in high demand (in which case it would be sold at full price earlier in the sale). Use No Discount tags sparingly. Most of our Sellers would rather take less profit than none at all. It’s our experience that many of the items remaining after Discount Day were over-priced and almost always go back home with the seller.
Do I have to discount my items on Discount Day?
We do give you the option not to discount your items. Simply select “No Discount” when you create your tag, and your item will remain full price even on our discount day(s).
What is Discount Day?
The last day of each KidStuff event is a 50% discount day. Some events will also have a 25% discount period before the items switch to 50% discount. We do this to increase the sales of remaining items on the last day of the event, meaning fewer items and more money for you to take home!
What items sell best?
Baby equipment, furniture, and large indoor and outdoor toys sell very well and are in high demand. On the other hand, we typically have an abundance of 0 – 6 month clothing sizes, so these must be priced competitively in order to sell. Learn more about What to Sell
How do I price my items?
Price your items to sell. If you value the item at $5.00, price it at $3.50 or $4.00 to ensure it sells before half-price day. Our most successful consignors price to sell and always discount on half-price day. A good rule of thumb is to price at 25–35% of retail value, depending on the brand and condition of the item.
Where can I find wire hangers?
Wire hangers are required for our fall and winter events. Wire hangers can be found at Walmart stores and some Dollar Tree stores. You can also check at your local dry cleaner; if you do business with them, oftentimes they will give you a handful. Occasionally, KidStuff Sale will place a bulk order for our registered sellers. Watch for an email regarding ordering hangers!
