Tips to Help Your Items Sell Better

Clothes that are clean, pressed,and smell fresh, with buttons and zippers closed, look newer & generally sell better. Closing buttons will keep them from being torn off by other hangers that get caught in them, and having zippers fastened allows the item to hang properly on the hanger.

Sets tend to sell better (under size 10) than separate items, so match up separates if you can.

Shoes must be clean & in excellent condition.

Toys which require batteries must include them.

Baby furniture, equipment, and toys should be clean, have all parts, and any small pieces should be in a Ziploc bag, securely attached to the main part with packaging tape or ribbon.

Clear packaging tape is great for securing the bags so small hands can’t reach in. Please don’t use masking or scotch tape as it will not hold.

Equipment needs to be completely assembled at drop-off.

If you bring a car seat, please call 1-866-SEATCHECK or go to http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/recalls/childseat.cfm to make sure it has not been recalled. All car seats must come with a signed declaration that it meets our standards. Click here to download and print the document.
