Accepted Clothing Items for the Children’s Consignment Sale

In general, we would like our sales to mirror what would be considered a “Spring Line” or “Fall Line” of clothing in a department store. When selecting your items for each sale, use common sense to decide what colors and styles are “Seasonally Appropriate”, but the Check- In Specialists will have the final say on all items. We understand that a lot of clothing types can be used in all seasons, BUT we don’t have enough room for ALL transitional items to be available at each sale. Also, some items sell better in one season over another. Don’t worry if you tagged a few things that aren’t “Seasonally Appropriate”. You can easily transfer those items to the next season’s sale and your time is not wasted. Should spacing become an issue, we reserve the right to pull any “Marginally” appropriate seasonal items from the sales floor.

Preparing Items for Sale:

Interested in Consigning?

*Bring Your Best*

You MUST be highly selective!  No stains, no holes, no defects or clothes that have a strong odor (ie. smoke, musty, pets, or moth balls).

All items must also be the correct season for the sale.  There is a 300 item limit.

*Prepare Your Items*

Presentation is everything. Launder, iron, and hang all clothes prior to your drop off appointment.

*Price to Sell*

All items should be priced between 1/3 to 1/4 of original retail.

Remember that stores discount their merchandise as well so be sure to price your “nearly new” items with that in mind.

*Use Our Online System*

We use MyConsignmentManager Consignment software for our semi-annual sale.

This includes registration for the sale, securing a drop off appointment time, and scheduling volunteer hours.

*Register Early*

Registrations always fill up - be sure to register as soon as possible.

We close registration when we reach 150 sellers, the maximum for the venue.

*6pm Tagging Deadline*

Sellers must have all items entered into the MyCM system by 6 pm the Saturday before drop off.

 Previous consignors: Don’t forget to transfer your items over from previous sales.

*Fees are Deducted after the Sale*

No need to bring money to check-in appointment.  The NON-REFUNDABLE $20 fee will be deducted from your check after the sale.

This fee covers the cost of the venue and other expenses.  Your percentage is determined by volunteer hours worked. 

(Any consignors who are "no shows" will be billed the $20 consignor fee after the sale.)
