Accepted Items

Children’s Clothing Sizes Preemie to Youth 18:

Every item brought to the sale will be inspected for stains, holes, and excessive wear and tear. Items should come from a smoke free home and anything with even a hint of a smoke, musty, or mildew type of smell will not be accepted. Consignors are expected to do their own inspection and avoid bringing items that don’t meet these standards. Clothing should be in style and current (meaning it should have been purchased within the past 2-3 years). 

There is a limit of 50 inventory items per gender for clothing in sizes 0 to 24 months. We encourage consignors to bundle like-sized items together, only bring your best in these sizes, and be sure you are opting to include these sizes for discount on the last day of the sale.

Accepted YEAR ROUND: Costumes and Dress Up Clothes, Bathing Suits, Lightweight Jackets, Jeans and Khakis, Pajamas of All Kinds & Fabrics (except holiday themed in the opposite season), Long Sleeved Tees, Short Sleeved Tees, Sports Clothing and Accessories. (Note: Halloween costumes are accepted year-round, but will sell better in the fall.)

Not Accepted at the FALL sale: Lightweight/Linen Blend Sun dresses, Summer-Themed Clothing (4th of July, Beach Themed, etc.), Shorts (except Athletic Shorts such as Basketball or Soccer Style Shorts)

TEEN & ADULT ITEMS!

• JUNIORS & WOMENS BRANDS. While we would love to accept all brands geared towards middle and high school students, these shoppers are VERY selective and we have designated the list of brands that will be accepted. These items should be listed in the inventory system as “Clothing – Juniors/Womens,” and they will be housed on the sales floor in a separate section away from the kids clothing. See the list of accepted brands for this category below. LIMIT of 20 items per consignor in this category. Only bring your best!
• SPIRIT WEAR! This includes excellent condition elementary school, high school, college, and professional team clothing, hats, coats, gear, and accessories. This section of the sales floor will include men’s and women’s clothing housed together, and items should be sized as Adult XXS to Adult XXXL. Please only enter items that are in like-new condition. 
• ADULT COATS. These must be in excellent condition, name brand, and current trends. Items that are more than 3 years old should be left at home. LIMIT of 5 per consignor per gender.
• HOME & HOLIDAY DECOR. Must be excellent condition and current in terms of design and style (farmhouse, modern, boho, etc.). Glass items like bowls/vases will not be accepted. Used candles will not be accepted. Kitchen items such as plates, glasses, etc. will not be accepted. Kitchen gadgets such as blenders, coffee makers, toasters, etc. will not be accepted. Mirrors will be accepted on a very selective basis (very current styles only and no “plain” inexpensive, rectangular mirrors). Alcohol or adult focused decor items will not be accepted (example: picture of wine bottles, wine bottle holder, etc.) Holiday decor will follow the same seasonal acceptance policies as the regular sale items–fall/winter holiday items at the fall sale, spring/summer holiday items at the spring sale. LIMIT of 10 items per consignor for each category of adult & holiday decor.
  

Below is a list of accepted brands for the Juniors/Womens category. Of course this list is not all inclusive, as it would be impossible to list every brand available. However, this list should give you a good idea of what types of brands and items we will accept. If you do not see an everyday brand on this list (ex: Old Navy, Maurices, JCPenney/Kohl’s brands), that is because they will NOT be accepted. We will accept items from boutiques as long as they are in current styles and are in like new condition.

When entering your inventory into the system, you should always list the STORE first in the description, followed by a description of the item. Example Description: Anthro – Red & Cream Floral Dress.
