Cardboard boxes will be recycled NOT returned, unless clearly marked Return to Seller. ALL CLOTHING ITEMS MUST BE ON HANGERS. Hangers from sold items will not be returned. This change will help sellers sell more items so that everything stays visible during the sale and will also make sorting more efficient for volunteers.

We are not allowed to be in the field house until after 3:30 please do not enter the high school at any time before 3:30. If it is raining we will not be able to use the whole field house until the sports are done with their practice. Thank you for understanding and being patient with us if this occurs.

2 Pick Up Procedure: Pick up will be at the large SOUTH DOOR ONLY Please check the center of the gym for your containers that contain any items that weren t sold.

Spring/Summer Children s Clothing and Accessories Drop side cribs Car seats & carriers Helmets Underwear Diapers Stuffed animals Hats Hair accessories Socks Computers Potty chairs/seats Electronics that don t work Any item that goes into a child s mouth (nipples, spoons, etc). PLEASE EVALUATE ALL ITEMS. Any item not meeting the criteria will be returned to you. We want to provide good quality items to our buyers. Items that do not pass inspection will be placed in a garbage bag and will be tied shut. We will not be able to re-inspect items during sale set-up. Please care for these items after the sale. Items to be sold must be in excellent resale condition. NO Febreeze, smoke, stains, tears, animal hair, missing or broken pieces or musty smelling items will be accepted. If items are kept in a smoking or musty area they frequently smell that way even in a plastic container.

3 Please check for stains in good lighting as sometimes they are more visible at the field house. Clothes that have been stored for a while may have new stains that appear over time. All items with small parts need to be securely fastened together to avoid them being separated from each other. Clothing Items: ALL CLOTHING MUST BE ON HANGERS. o The seller is now responsible for hanging all clothing items on hangers for the sale. o All hangers should hang to the left, like a question mark, so all items are facing the same direction. Please see pictures below #1-4. o Tags should be pinned to the upper right side of the garment (pictures #1-4). o When pinning shorts and pants to the hanger please use the top part of the hanger (pictures 2+3). This will help keep them balanced on the hanger. You may also use zip ties through the belt loops to secure them even better on the hanger (picture #3). o For shirt and pant sets safety pin the top of the shirt and pants together with the hanger in the middle (pictures 4+5). If you have multiple items you would like to sell together (a set of 5 onsies for example) they must all be the same size. You may zip-tie hangers together to make a set. o Please visit our webpage and Facebook page to see ideas on where to get hangers. o We know that this is a big change for our sellers, but we feel that it will allow for shoppers to see ALL items and shop quicker. When the clothes were piled high on the tables it was hard for shoppers to see everything and took time to pick through the piles. By hanging all the clothing items, shoppers can move through the racks seeing everything that is available Front 5 Back ATTACH tags with safety pins. NO straight pins, staples or tape on clothing. A tagging gun is acceptable to use but please attach tag through clothing tag or seam. Do not tag through the material, it leaves a hole in the fabric and your items may be rejected during inspection. Please sort items in your bins by boy/girl and size. If you have the time to do that it would be appreciated but it is not required. It helps speed up the sorting process. Maternity Clothes: All maternity clothing MUST be on hangers (please follow directions above for hanging). Only items accepted will by clothing shirts, pants, dresses, skirts NO undergarments will be accepted support belts, bras, etc. Please evaluate these items as you would children s clothing, they will follow the same inspection guidelines.

4 Footwear: Footwear MUST be in like new condition hardly worn, very clean! MUST be in a Ziploc bag and taped shut. Please do not pin together. Then tape the whole tag to the outside of the bag using clear packaging tape. Skates, Rain boots, etc. may be securely attached to each other with a zip tie and not in a bag. But make sure they cannot be separated from each other or the tag. Dirty and obviously worn shoes will be returned to seller. Battery Powered Items: All items that require batteries need to have working batteries. All large items requiring batteries will be checked as they are brought in. If they do not work we will ask that you take them home at that time. Smaller items will be checked during inspection and if they are not working they will be rejected. Other Items: Use clear packing tape to attach the tag to items or Ziploc bags. NO SCOTCH TAPE! Small items should be put in a Ziploc bag and taped shut. Then tape the tag to the outside of the bag. This keeps all items secure. All items with small parts need to be securely fastened together to avoid them being separated from each other.
