Will you take all my items? It is often easy to miss a spot or tear when you are getting lots of items ready at home. Please don’t be offended if we ask you to take back some of your items. We will be screening items as to maintain the quality of the event.
What if I am not sure how to price the items? We suggest that you price items 50-70% off of retail value. It is also good to consider “What would I be willing to pay?”

How do I secure small pieces and parts to toys and equipment? Place them in a resealable storage bag and tape it closed. You can tape or safety pin the bag to the item. Please write your consignor number and what item the parts go to on the bag. (just in case they are separated)
Should I iron my clothes? Wrinkled clothes do not sell! Please do what is necessary to make your clothes look clean and nice. Remember, the better they look, the more likely they are to sell!
Should I assemble my baby bed? Yes. Assembled beds and other furniture sell better when they can be seen.

How can I shop the half-price presale? This is reserved for the volunteers that help sort. Sorting doesn’t take long if we have enough help.

You can enter items up till midnight the night before drop off begins.

If you mark "no donate" and change your mind, you can always donate it when you come to pick up, or ALL items that are not picked up WILL BE donated.
I have a family-friendly business. Can I advertise it at the event? Yes. Please see our vendor information page to learn how you can get your business information into the hands of your target market.
