we are open to consignors. Please refer to the Consignor Homepage for details on how to tag your items.
What types of items will you accept?
We accept children’s boutique and designer clothing, shoes, accessories and baby gear. We accept boys and girls
clothing sizes newborn - size 16. Baby gear includes strollers, infant carriers (not car seats), designer diaper bags
and high chairs. We do not accept cribs, bedding, changing tables or gliders.
We will now accept select toys. Learn more.
We will not accept feeding items or discount store brands. We will not accept maternity items, out of date clothing
or any clothing with stains, missing buttons, broken zippers, etc. We do not accept bedding, cribs, changing tables or
gliders. Please see our list of items not accepted for further information.
We are now accepting children's/youth sport equipment. Get out those old skis, tennis rackets, golf clubs, baseball
mitts, etc and add them to your inventory! We will also be accepting soccer cleats, baseball shoes, golf shoes, ski
boots, etc. Please make sure all items are well cleaned before bringing them to the sale. Shoes/cleats should all be
washed and then air dried.
How are prices determined?
Prices are set by the consignor. We suggest prices 20-35% of the original retail price. Larger sizes tend to sell at the
higher end and smaller sizes tend to sell on the lower end of this range. Put together outfits when possible as they will
sell better than separates. Please check out our pricing guidelines for additional recommendations.
Clothes do not need to be pressed but they will often sell better if they are. All clothing should be freshly laundered.
All gear must be clean and in good working order with all parts present. Please include instruction manuals when
possible.

appointments for the week prior to the sale. Drop off appointments may not be during your workshift.
