Supplies needed: We accept wire or plastic hangers, safety pins, packing tape, ziploc bags, 60-67# white or light pastel card stock paper
Please use safety pins only, no staples or straight pins. These will hold your clothes on better.
Ziploc bags work great for big toys, bedding items, shoes and books. You can place the tag in these bags and tape the top shut. On the books please do not tape the tags on the books, this will tear the paper off the books. No Clothing in Bags!!! unless its Socks! onsies can be grouped together on a hanger.
You can print tags on card stock paper or plain copier paper but remember plain paper is easy to fall off your items and become lost. You can find card stock at Walmart or other office supply store. Only use white card stock or light colored.

Hang all clothing items on hangers with the hook facing left like the picture above.You may use plastic hangers.

Make sure you pin pants and skirts by the waistband.
Please do not fold pants over the bottom of the hanger.
For two-piece outfits, pin pants or skirts behind the shirt so both pieces can easily be seen - do not put pants and skirts inside the shirt.
Items such as socks, bibs, bottles, hats, and small toys should be placed inside ziploc bags and taped securely, please do not tape your tag to the bag, just place it in the bag and tape the bag shut.
Clothes are hard to sell if you can't see them, so make sure you hang everything that you possible can on wire hangers.
All shoes need to be placed in a ziploc bag with the tag placed inside the bag. .
All toys, equipment, and furniture must be in working order and clean. Small parts should be bagged and taped to the main part very securely.
Carseats should be clean, no more than 5 years old, and never been in an accident. You also must have a car seat form filled out and attached to the car seat. I have these and will gladly email you one.
Items that require batteries will sell faster if they are in them. So make sure you put them in all toys that need them. If you have an instruction manual please attach it to the item.

CPSC Guidelines and Recall Information:When buying or selling previously owned items, you should always check to make sure that the item does not have a recall first. A good place to check is www.cpsc.gov/index.html - U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
In February 2009, new requirements of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) took effect. Manufacturers, importers and retailers are expected to comply with the new Congressionally-mandated laws. Beginning February 10, 2009, children's products cannot be sold if they contain more than 600 parts per million (ppm) total lead. Certain children's products manufactured on or after February 10, 2009 cannot be sold if they contain more than 0.1% of certain specific phthalates or if they fail to meet new mandatory standards for toys. The new law requires that domestic manufacturers and importers certify that children's products made after February 10 meet all the new safety standards and the lead ban. Sellers of used children's products, such as thrift stores and consignment stores, are not required to certify that those products meet the new lead limits, phthalates standard or new toy standards. While CPSC expects every company to comply fully with the new laws resellers should pay special attention to certain product categories. Among these are recalled children's products, particularly cribs and play yards; children's products that may contain lead, such as children jewelry and painted wooden or metal toys; flimsily made toys that are easily breakable into small parts; toys that lack the required age warnings; and dolls and stuffed toys that have buttons, eyes, noses or other small parts that are not securely fastened and could present a choking hazard for young children.
