What is a car seat waiver?
If you are consigning a car seat, we will give you a waiver to fill out upon your drop-off. It asks basic questions about the car seat, such as “Has the car seat been in an accident?” and “How old is the car seat?” Remember to bring (or print out if you can’t find yours) the manual too! 🙂
Where can I get a car set waiver?
We will have car seat waivers available to fill out at your drop-off appointment. Be sure to bring the manual (if you don’t have it, you can print it out from online).
I am considering consigning and shopping for the first time and have a few questions. Do you normally have a good selection of boys size 10 & 12? Are boys youth size large and x-large accepted for example name brand skate/surf T-shirts? Thank you!
To be honest, that is a section that is normally a bit lacking at our sale and we would love to have more! Yes, we accept boys size large and x-large t-shirts. We would love to have you be a part of our sale!
Is there any cost to consigners? Will a percentage of our sales be taken to consign?
There is no cost to be a consignor and you get to keep 60% of your sales! If you volunteer one shift, you will get 65% and if you volunteer two shifts, you will get 70%!
When looking at the pricing guidelines, what does it mean next to basic onesies (minimum of 3)? Do we have to place 3 onesies together to sell in a group? What if it is a graphic onesie?
Cute graphic onesies can be sold by themselves. We suggest basic onesies to be sold in groups of 3 for easy pricing.
I’m a first time consigner. May we consign blankets and towels? And if so, how would you like us to prepare them?
Yes you may! We have an area for bedding and an area for bath items at the sale. You can either put them a plastic bag or just tag them and fold them up. Happy to have you joining us!
Do you accept bath seats?
Definitely!
Do you accept cloth diapers?
Yes, as long as they are clean and in good condition 🙂
Do you accept bikes? My son has a bike that he rode 2 times
Yes we do! Hopefully another child will love it more 😉
Is there a maximum amount of items that we can consign? (I’m just wondering how many items can be approved in 30 minutes)
There is no maximum. We will work hard to get as many items as you have inspected during your drop off shift!
This sounds like an amazing sale. Can’t wait. If my daughter n law makes it to the pre sale, can I go with her?
All people registered for the New Mom Presale get to bring a guest!
Do you take potty’s or toilet seats with steps? (clean of course)
Yes we do!
Do you accept crib mattresses?
Yes ma’am 🙂
Hangers go with the item purchased but consignors can grab hangers from the community box when they come pick up their unsold items. 😉
Checking discount item means it will automatically be reduced to half price for the last 2 hours of the sale (Saturday 2-4 pm).
Do you accept breast pumps?
Yes!
Can sleepers/nighties be in a ziplock bag?
Also, I had to drop out of this sale because my husband had surgery and needs attention. Can I bring what I prepared for next sale, including last sale’s tagged stuff?
I meant, can I bring what I prepared for this sale to next sale? Do you know when next Sale will be? Thank you!
