Bags & Baby Carriers
Diaper bags, infant carriers, backpacks, and purses are great consignment items. Please inspect all items carefully to make sure items have not been recalled, stained, damages or are missing pieces.
Package: Please zip-tie items to an adult-size hanger. If you have higher priced items (over $25) please let us know at Drop Off for assistance.
Price: Price 50%-75% off retail. Items in great condition tend to sell very well!
Tag: Hole-punch JBF tag and attach it to the item with ribbon or string. If item contains multiple pieces, be sure all pieces are included and list number of items on JBF tag description.
Bedding, Blankets & Textiles
Bedding sizes accepted are bassinet through twin ONLY! Please be selective when selling bedding, blankets, receiving blankets, burp cloths and towels. New and barely used items sell best. Check carefully for stains; shoppers get very disappointed if they find a stain in a bundled blanket once they get home.
Package: Put bedding/crib/bedroom sets together in original packaging or giant clear plastic bags. Arrange bedding sets inside bag so that shoppers can see all of the items as well as the design/pattern. Secure the bag so that items do not get seperated. Bundle blankets, clothes and towels with ribbon or string like a package (be sure multiple pieces cannot be seperated) unless you are selling them seperately.
Price: Price to sell! Shoppers are less likely to purchase these items used, so prices have to be low. Try to price 75%-90% off retail.
Tag: If bedding is in a plastic bag, attach tag securely with packaging tape to the inside of the bag and tape the bag shut (bedding set prices vary widely and securing tags inside prevents tag switching). If bedding/blankets are bundles with string, attach tag directly to blanket and tuck it under the ribbon so that it does not easily get pulled off when shifting around during the sale.
Books, Games, DVDs, Arts & Crafts
Books, book sets, board games, puzzles, video game systems, scrapbook, arts & crafts sets are great items for resale. Please only bring kids' parenting, homeschooling, pregnancy and child rearing books. Adult novels are not accepted. Games and puzzles must have all pieces. Check items to ensure they are in great condition.
Package: Use clear, self seal bags or clear cling wrap (saran wrap) to hold multiple items together; Tie sets of books together with ribbon. Be sure that parts/games to video game systems (such as Vtech) cannot be separated or switched out at the sale.
Price: Prices can range from $0.50 to $50 in this category, depending on the item. Price to sell especially for books & DVDs as there are always LOTS to choose from at the sale. If you would like a high priced item places behind the register, please let a volunteer know during Drop Off
Tag: When tagging books, please attach your tag to the book with clear tape that can be removed without damaging the item. Tape tag to the outside cover of glossy books and to the inside cover of paper books as to not tear when removing the tag. Please do not use masking tape or double sided tape. Hole punch JBF tag and tie to sets.
