Just drop your items off with us and we will do the rest. Here’s how it works:

1. First, register as a consignor. Then contact us to let us know that you will be taking advantage of our tagging service and to arrange a time for us to pick them up. The deadline for us to receive your items is Wednesday, February 22nd. We will provide you with a consignor contract at the time we receive your items.

2. You can choose to donate or pick-up any unsold items after the sale. (Items that aren’t donated must be picked up at the regular pick up time after the sale. We cannot hold them and return them to you later.)

3. Consignors who use the Busy Moms Tagging Service will receive 50% of their items selling price, and a ticket to the Preview Party on February 29th 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm. The $8 consignor fee will be deducted from their final check.

4. Items must be clean and on hangers when we receive them. If the consignor does not provide hangers, 10 cents per item will be deducted from their final check to cover the cost of hangers.

5. Only items that meet the Accepted Items criteria found on the Consignor page of our website will be entered into the sale.

Items Accepted

• We will only accept SPRING/SUMMER clothing, shoes, and accessories in very gently used, or like-new condition; defined as no frays, stains or other damage.
• Brands accepted include home/trunk show and boutique brands. (i.e. Chez Ami, Kelly’s Kids, Hannah Kate, Orient Expressed, Polo/Ralph Lauren,etc.) For a complete listing of accepted brands click here. Brand names such as Gymboree, Gap, and Children’s Place will be accepted as long as they are in great condition and are not “play” clothes. Brands not accepted include brands/labels sold at Wal-mart, Target, K-mart, Babies ‘R Us, Sears, and JC Penny,such as (but not limited to): Faded Glory, Cherokee, Circo, Genuine Kids, Xhilaration, Mossimo, KRU, mini Wear, Arizona, etc. If you have a brand that is not on the Brands Accepted list above and you are not sure if it will be accepted, please ask! Used underwear will not be accepted. (Bloomers, diaper covers and undergarments that are new in unopened package are fine.) No onesies will be accepted unless they are boutique/home show quality or are attached with an outfit from a boutique or home show.
• A helpful word about infant sizes 0-24 months: In our experience, these sizes do not sell as well as sizes 2T and up. Therefore, choose your BEST items from these sizes to put in the sale. Smocked, appliqued, and holiday outfits in sizes 0-24 months sell better than average layette items.
• Boutique/home show quality shoes will be accepted. No shoes from Walmart, Target, or Payless will be accepted. Sorry, no socks unless they are attached to an outfit.
• Only boutique pajamas and nightgowns can be sold. Please no Gap, Old navy, etc.

Tagging Instructions

• First, go to the REGISTRATION PAGE of our website and register. Be sure to always login through the Consignor page on our website or you will be prompted for a print code.
• Register as a consignor by Sunday, February 26th.. After this date our registration will be closed.
• Sort all of your items by clothing, toys, equipment, etc. Regarding clothing, sort by gender and then size.
• When sorting is completed, enter your items into the system. All of your items must be entered before the sale is locked at 6am on Monday, February 27th. Go to the tab, Enter Items. By sorting prior to entering, you will save a lot of time because you will only have to reenter the price and description for each similar item. You also can avoid using the mouse entirely by simply using the tab button, selecting the first letter of each entry in the drop downs and the enter key to add items.
• Use only one unique tag with its own unique item number for each item to be sold (sellers cannot make copies of tags).
• Make sure that the correct seller number is on each tag.
• If you need to edit anything, go to the Manage Inventory screen. Here you can print inventory reports, mass edit items or individual items, and also see a Projected Settlement Report based on the items you have entered into the system.
• Printing can be performed at anytime, at intervals or all at once when you finish entering your items. Please make sure that your tag paper consists of only light, pastel colors. No dark colors or multicolored or patterned paper. You must also use cardstock paper (at least 60# or 65# cardstock).
• Once your tags are printed, make sure the bar-code is clear and is not excessively dark (use ‘normal’ setting when printing – NOT BEST quality), then cut on the lines and safety pin to left shoulder or right side if the clothing is facing you. When applying tape to the toys, equipment, etc. please do not put tape on the bar-code.
• Expect final reconciliation of your items into your account by Wednesday, March 7th.
