 What to Consign?

Clothing

The Kids Sale accepts children's apparel and merchandise that is current in season, style, free of stains, tears or damage of any kind to them. We reserve the right to pull items in order to ensure the highest quality items placed for sale. We will be accepting children’s sizes Newborn -16 (some small 3/4 sizes acceptable). Boutique brands, Gymboree and Gap styles sell very well.  Clothing should be clean, pressed, and on hangers. Maternity clothing in current styles is welcome. Please limit Maternity clothes to TEN of your best quality items.

Toys

We also accept toys, books and videos/DVDs in new or like new condition. Large toys such as play kitchens, train tables, and ride-ons are great sellers! Character toys and legos are always in high demand. Please limit your stuffed animals to familiar brands/characters. Please thoroughly wash your outdoor toys or large items. Books that are grouped together by either series or related content sell well.

To improve quality, only your best toys will be accepted. Toys must be in good, safe condition and include all pieces and working batteries. We will be inspecting toys to determine their quality and condition. Secure toys with additional pieces in a bag, if necessary. Make only ONE TAG per item and place inside the clear bag. Please lightly tape your tag to the bag to keep it secure. We will not accept items that have been either recalled or deemed unsafe by the Product Safety Commission. Please refer to the below websites to ensure product safety.

Baby Equipment/Furniture

Strollers, joggers, baby swings, jumperoos, walkers, high-chairs, booster seats, exer-saucers, bouncy seats, doorway jumpers, cribs, toddler beds, bassinets, changing tables, and other children's furniture. Car seats must be less than 5 years old. NOTE: Sellers are responsible for assembling all cribs, beds, pack-n-plays and playpens they bring during drop-off.

All items must be clean (free of food and other stains), in excellent working order and must not have been recalled. Secure tags with heavy tape or zip ties so it cannot be pulled off. Batteries must be included, if needed to ensure working condition. Include manuals/instructions if possible as this helps in selling the item.

Items We Do NOT Accept

We cannot accept battery operated toys without batteries, previously worn underwear, open pacifiers, used baby bottles, nipples or diapers, baby formula or food, adult clothing other than maternity, recalled items, items that may include lead, car seats more than 5 years old, or anything worn out or with missing or broken pieces. 

Consignors agree not to sell any items that have been recalled.  For a list of recalled items please visit this website.  Consignors agree not to sell any items that may contain lead.  Please refer to this website for safety product information for resellers.

Tagging Your Items — Only Barcoded tags are accepted!

We have implemented a tagging system using bar codes.  After you register and pay your participation fee you will be invited to enter your inventory into our timesaving online program.  The system is very user friendly and you will be able to print your own tags, track your sales during the event and register for future events.  Handwritten tags WILL NOT be accepted. Returning consignors can move any unsold inventory from previous Kids Sales to the current sale—see below.

As we will be scanning your items into our system for you to monitor your sales, it is important to have a readable tag.  If the scanner is unable to read the bar code we will input the item into our system manually and you will not be able to verify the item description.  When printing your tag it is very important to remember to:

• Make sure your black ink cartridge has plenty of ink or is new.
• Print your tags on white or light colored cardstock of 65lb weight (recommended to be the most sturdy and readable), available at Target or Walmart for a reasonable price.
• Make sure you cut your tags on the proper line to ensure a proper tag. They will print 10 tags/page. Safety pin in the blank space above the description.

Discount: Saturday is 50% off select items.  If you want your items sold at 50% off please indicate "discount" when you are creating your tags in the online system.  All items remain in the sale regardless of being discounted or not. If you change your mind after printing your tag, you must reprint a new tag.

Donate: If you would like to donate any unsold item, mark the "Donate" option during the tagging process. This will allow you to choose which item(s) you want to have automatically donated at the conclusion of the sale.

IMPORTANT: You must have your inventory completed and your tags printed by Tuesday, September 28th.  The information will be uploaded to our system to be used at the sale.  PLEASE have your tags completed or the item(s) may not be consigned.  The system will be inactive at 11:59pm, Tuesday, September 28^th.

Valet Tagging: We can assist you in tagging and pricing your items.  We will pay you 50% of your sales for this service.  Please CONTACT US to schedule an appointment before September 5th.  We need to receive your items by September 10th in order to provide this service. 

How to TAG your items  - After you have registered and paid… 

 REGISTERED CONSIGNORS Login Here: Consignor Homepage

Here you will be able to manage your account, enter your inventory, create your tags, and view your sales.  In the future, you may also register here.  To begin creating your tags, you will login to the Consignor Homepage; enter your consignor number and password (received once fee is paid). 

A window will open and under Activities you will choose the option “Work With Consigned Inventory.”  Another window will open and you can choose the option, “Work With My Consigned Items.”  Here you can begin creating your tags.  Remember to choose whether you want your items discounted or donated.  All items will remain for sale whether discounted or not.  

Returning consignors who want to move their inventory from a previous Kids Sale to the current sale should login and follow the steps below: 
1. Select Work with Consigned Inventory (a new screen will open up)
2. Then select Work with Inactive Inventory (your previous inventory will appear)
3. You can now select from the provided options to move all or specific items into the Upcoming Sales' inventory. You can also delete items that have already been sold or that you no longer plan to sell.
 FAILURE TO ACTIVATE INVENTORY WILL RESULT IN NO SALES FOR ITEMS BROUGHT TO THE SALE.

Use this feature to enter the descriptions, size and prices of your items. Please include a detailed description on your tag so that we can match up any lost tags with your items if needed.  (For example: Gap red dress w/ flowers Size 6).  ONLY ONE TAG PER ITEM/SET. 

1. Please place your tag on the left side of the item.  (If you were wearing the item it would be placed over the heart area.)  Secure the tag with a safety pin.  Items secured with a straight pin or tagged with stickers cannot be accepted.
2. Please hang items facing left, such as sets, tops and dresses on hangers. Items that will be accepted folded are knit tops, sweaters, pants, shorts, bathing suits and small baby items.  Your items will show better if they are hung and ironed.  If they are on plastic hangers we will do our best to return them to you if they are marked.  Table space is very limited so please help us by following this guideline.
3. Shoes must be in excellent condition and secured together with heavy string, ribbon, zip tie or placed inside of a ziploc bag.  Attach the tag to the zip tie or with heavy clear tape to the inside heel of the shoe or tape it to the bag.  Make sure the description is detailed on the tag in case the item gets separated from the bag.
4. Please place sizes on your tags in number size, not S, M or L.  (S, M, or L is okay for maternity clothes.)
5. Please sort your clothing by sex and size and ensure the item is properly tagged before dropping off.  Due to the number of consignors, it is important to be able to place your items on the floor as quickly as possible.

Drop Off Items - Revisions, please READ!

Drop off for ALL Consignors will be on Wednesday, Sept. 29th from 9:30 - 2 pm. Consignors whose last names start with A-L drop off from 9:30 - 12 and those whose last names start with M-Z drop off from 12 - 2. This is only a recommendation to ensure a timely drop-off. Note: you do not need to schedule a drop off time if dropping off on Wednesday--even though your consignor page will say you have not scheduled a time.

Please have your items sorted by category, sex, and size before dropping off. Please allow at least 30 minutes for us to inspect your items and to assist in placing your items on the sales floor. Please understand, we may return items to you that are not in their best condition, out of date or damaged. This is at our discretion.  Unfortunately, we are NOT able to allow an evening drop off at this facility. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding drop off.

If you are planning to pick up any unsold items, you are encouraged to bring a large cardboard box or plastic bin with your last name and consignor number labeled so that we may sort your unsold items in your bin. We may utilize this bin during our sale as well.

Pick Up Items

Pick up is on Saturday, Oct. 2nd from 3:00 - 5:00 pm.  If you are unable to pick up your items during this time it is your responsibility to make other arrangements with someone to pick up for you or your items will be donated.  We will have items organized by consignor number for you to pick up. Please bring a copy of your "Unsold Inventory" with you in order to ensure that all items are collected.

We must have the facility cleaned and returned to the original condition by 6:00 pm. Any items that are left will become the property of West Orange Consignments and may be donated.

The Kids Sale Gives Back 

Our designated charity for the 2010 Fall Sale is To Be Announced. We are currently in the process of determining a local group or charity that could benefit from our sale. 
 

Helpful Hints

• Toys are very popular and when grouped together as a set and when priced to sell, they move even more quickly. LEGOs, Playmobil, character toys are very popular and in high demand at our sales!
• Group as many items as you can together in a set.  For example, many designers have several pieces of clothing in the same "line."  Pairing items together in sets with accessories brings more money to the consignor and is convenient to our shoppers.
• The best presentation of your items will earn you the most money! Be sure to iron those clothes that show excessive wrinkles.
