A note on sizes and styles
In general, casual styles do better than dressy or formal items.
-
For baby sizes, we do NOT want onesie shirts unless they are new or better-brand matching sets of 3 or more. Nor do we want separates that were sold as a set (like Carters 2 & 3 pieces baby outfits). Sleepers are a dime-a-dozen so need to be like new. We no longer sell weighted sleep sacks.
-
Kids sizes 18 months to size 6 are always in high demand so prioritize getting these items in.
YOUNG MENS
For young men's/bigger boys, casual items do well in teen-friendly brands and styles. Sweatpants and active wear, especially.
Formal items, denim jeans, and graphic tees in young men's don't sell well.
LARGER GIRLS/JUNIORS SIZES
'Juniors sizes' refers to any bigger girl brands such as Hollister, Pacsun that have S/M/L as opposed to numbered sizes like 14, 16, etc.
-
If you have a few juniors items as your girls are outgrowing us, you can bring them. Once all you have is juniors sizes/brands, you've outgrown us!
-
We get a LOT of juniors in and are HIGHLY selective on what we accept. If you have more than a few juniors items in your batch, chances are we won't accept them.
-
Most junior denim is not accepted. Bring ONLY jeans purchased new in the pas t 1-2 years- skinny jeans hardly sell anymore
-
Casual styles do best. Do not bring anything too grownup, too fancy, too sexy, or fast-fashion brands like Shein.
MATERNITY
Maternity sells better in Mediums and Larges. Extra smalls do NOT sell well. Nursing items do well, especially Kindred Bravely, Seraphine, etc.
Presentation and Bagging
1) Items must be freshly washed & folded neatly, with sets together, buttons buttoned, etc. We need them ready for sale!
2) Leave as FEW bags as possible so we can process inventory more efficiently. Better to leave one or two large bags, than 3 or 4 smaller ones. This takes a lot of time for us to find all your bags, untie them, etc.
3) Do not leave extra items so that we will donate or dispose of them for you. Items that are too worn or stained CANNOT be donated and will end up shredded. The more time we spend managing items to donate/dispose of, the less time we spend getting your inventory out.
