What You May Sell (and what you cannot sell)
Why do we have so many rules? After a decade in business, we know efficiency! We take in 48,000 pieces of kids gear each sale. We use a bar code scanner to keep the shopping lines moving fast on busy nights. These rules keep everyone happy and you making money.
REMEMBER :
- This consignment sale is not a garage sale!
- This means no “play” clothes with a small tear or hole.
- This means not getting rid of every single baby onesie is probably something you don’t want to do.
- If everyone is as picky with the clothes they sell as the clothes they buy, we ALL have a better shopping and selling experience in the end.
