Fall/Winter 2026 Consignment Sale
September 21-26

Consignor and Volunteer Registration opens on

Wednesday, August 5 at 9am

The Oak Hill School Consignment Sale is one of Nashville's premier children's consignment events and the school's largest community fundraiser. Held twice each year, it brings together hundreds of consignors, volunteers, and shoppers from across Middle Tennessee to buy and sell high-quality children's clothing, toys, books, baby gear, and more—all while supporting Oak Hill School.

Since 1988, proceeds from the sale have benefited the Oak Fund, helping enhance classrooms, address emerging priorities, grow the endowment, and strengthen financial assistance for families. What began as a small school fundraiser has grown into a beloved community tradition that serves both Oak Hill and families throughout the Nashville area.

The spring/summer event is held each February, and the fall/winter event takes place each September. Shoppers will find an extensive selection of quality items, including newborn through junior size 16 clothing and shoes, toys, books, baby gear, bikes, sporting equipment, and more.

The impact extends beyond the final day of shopping. Unsold items designated for donation are distributed to local nonprofit partners, providing clothing and essential items to families in need throughout Nashville.

The sale is open to the public during regular shopping days, with exclusive pre-sale shopping available to consignors and volunteers. Whether you participate as a shopper, consignor, or volunteer, you'll help support Oak Hill's students and teachers while making a meaningful difference for families across our community.

Consignor Tagging Guidelines

Item Limits & Pricing

Each consignor must enter a minimum of 20 items and may consign up to 300 items total.
All items must be priced at a minimum of $4.00 each.
Inventory entry closes Monday of sale week at 9:00 a.m. After that time, you may still print tags, but no changes can be made to your inventory.

Clothing

All clothing must be hung on wire hangers with the hanger facing left to form a question mark ("?").
Print tags on white cardstock and pin them to the upper right side of the garment (as you face it).
Use an appropriately sized safety pin to avoid damaging clothing.
Tagging guns, paper tags, and plastic hangers are not permitted.
Every clothing item must be entered with a numerical size (for example, enter "Medium (8/10)" as Size 8).
Please inspect all clothing before consigning. Items should be freshly laundered and free of stains, holes, excessive wear, pet hair, and odors.

Shoes

Shoes may not be placed in bags or boxes.
Secure pairs together using zip ties, ribbon, strong string, or heavy-duty rubber bands so they stay together while shoppers handle them.
Reinforce your tag with packing tape before hole-punching, then attach the tag through the tie, string, or zip tie securing the shoes together.

Books

Books may not be placed in bags, as shoppers cannot easily browse them. Instead, securely bundle multiple books together while keeping the titles visible.

Tips for Success:

Keep book titles visible for easy browsing.
Make bundles manageable in both weight and height.
Double-check that bundles will remain securely together during handling.

Approved Bundling Methods:

Heavy-duty rubber bands in a cross pattern.
Stretch or cling wrap wrapped tightly several times while leaving the spines visible.
Ribbon or strong twine tied securely in both directions.

Toys, Games & Puzzles

We have a strict No Loose Parts Policy. Any toy, game, puzzle, or play kitchen with loose, unsecured, or missing pieces will not be accepted.

How to Secure Toys:

Use stretch wrap around puzzles, blocks, or multi-piece sets while leaving one side visible.
Use painter's tape to keep lids closed and attach accessories to the main item.
Place small accessories in a clear zip-top bag, then securely tape or tie the bag to the toy.
Use ribbon, string, or rope to attach larger accessories directly to the main item.
If hole-punching your tag for a zip tie, reinforce it first with packing tape to prevent tearing.

Play Kitchens & Large Toys:

Attach all play food, dishes, and accessories directly to the kitchen.
Secure drawers and doors with ribbon or painter's tape.
Place the tag on the main body of the item—not on a removable piece.

Tips for Success:
Items should be easy for shoppers to pick up and carry without pieces shifting, falling off, or rattling loose.

Printing Tags

Print tags on white, smooth cardstock only. Do not use colored paper, regular printer paper, or textured cardstock.
Set your printer to Best or High Quality mode (avoid Draft or Eco settings).
Print at 100% scale. Do not shrink or enlarge your tags.
Print using black ink only. Barcodes should be crisp, sharp, and easy to scan.
Allow the ink to dry completely before cutting the tags to prevent smudging.

Reminder

Each sale features more than 40,000 items, all of which are handled multiple times by volunteers and shoppers. Properly preparing, bundling, and securely tagging your items helps prevent pieces from becoming separated, keeps merchandise looking its best, and gives your items the greatest chance of selling.

Thank you for taking the extra time to prepare your items carefully—we appreciate your help in making our sale a great experience for both consignors and shoppers!

Pricing

Pricing is subjective, but a good rule of thumb is to start at approximately one-third of the original retail price, then adjust based on the item's brand, condition, and overall desirability.

Higher-end and boutique brands can often be priced above the one-third guideline, while items from retailers that frequently run sales may need to be priced a bit lower. If you're unsure, consider looking up similar items on online resale marketplaces to see what they are currently selling for.

Our goal is to help your items sell! Price competitively, make sure every item is clean and in excellent condition, and hang clothing neatly on wire hangers. Well-presented, fairly priced items are much more likely to sell.

Pro Tip: When entering your items, select "REDUCE" to allow them to be discounted 50% during the half-price sale. If an item hasn't sold before then, offering the discount greatly increases its chances of finding a new home—and helps you earn more than taking it home unsold!

Donated Items

We encourage you to consider donating any unsold items to our amazing charity partners. If you plan to donate, please ensure your tags are marked for donation when entering your items.

You can print a Donations Report from your Consignor My Sale Manager Homepage. This report will include only items that were both marked for donation and remained unsold.

Please note: we cannot generate a donations report for items that were marked for pick-up but left behind.

All unclaimed items will be donated promptly at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Drop Off Information

Once you're logged into your Consignor My Sale Manager Homepage, be sure to schedule your drop-off appointment.

❗You cannot drop off without an appointment and must arrive during your designated time slot.

When you arrive for your appointment, be prepared to place your clothing on the designated racks. We will have volunteers available to help with heavier items, such as large baby gear, play kitchen sets, or outdoor toys. Please take a moment to review the two different drop-off options outlined below.

✅ Remember-all items must be properly hung and tagged according to our tagging guidelines.

What to Bring to Your Drop-Off Appointment:

Clothing: Sorted by gender and size, tags printed on white card stock and secured using a safety pin and hung on wire hangers
Shoes must be secured together using zip ties or string, and the tag should be reinforced with packing tape before punching a hole for attachment. This ensures your tags stay secure throughout the sale.
Toys, books, games, baby gear, etc.: Clean, in working condition, with working batteries (if applicable). All accessories for toys and games must be securely attached in a sealed bag or container to ensure no pieces are lost during the sale.
Car Seats & Boosters: Consignor tags must include either the expiration date or the manufacture date. Items will only be accepted if:

The seat has at least 1 full year remaining before expiration, OR
If no expiration date is printed on the manufacturer’s tag, the seat is less than 5 years old from the manufacture date.

👉 Consignor tags must clearly state “Expires on [MM/YYYY]” or “Manufactured on [MM/YYYY]”.

A laundry basket or bin labeled with your consignor number in large font on the shorter end, if you plan to pick up unsold items not marked for donation at the end of the sale; we will not accept cardboard boxes or collapsible bins.

Consignor Pick-Up Information

Pick-up is Saturday from 2:00–3:00 p.m.
Items cannot be picked up before 2:00 p.m., and any items not claimed by 3:00 p.m. will be donated to our charity partners. Unfortunately, we cannot hold items for anyone who does not arrive by 3:00 p.m.

If you are unable to come during the pick-up window, please arrange for someone else to pick up on your behalf.

Important Steps:

Review Your Sold Item’s Report First
Please log in and review your sold item's report before coming to pick-up. This will tell you exactly which items have sold so you know which items you should expect to collect.

Check Your Bin Carefully
When picking up, your clothing and shoe items will be sorted into a bin labeled with your consignor number. It is your responsibility to check the contents of your bin to ensure everything belongs to you.

Large Items
Large items will not be placed in your bin—they are sorted separately. The Large Item Table includes toys, baby equipment, and other oversized items. There may also be large items placed in the lobby that could not fit on the table, such as bikes, strollers, kitchen sets, and other bulky items, so please be sure to check the lobby as well. Sellers should also carefully check the contents of their bin, the Lost Tag Rack, and the Donation Rack to ensure all unsold items are collected.

Missing Items
If you notice something missing, please check both the Lost Tag Rack and the Donation Rack before leaving.

If Someone Else is Picking Up for You
Be sure they know:

- Your consignor number
- Which items to collect (based on your sold item’s report)
- To check your bin, the Large Item Table, the Lost Tag area and the Donation Racks before leaving

Oak Hill School is not responsible for any items that are damaged, lost during the sale, or not picked up by the 3:00 p.m. deadline.
