Kids Kloset Swap Pricing Guide

It is most important that you price your items to sell!!  There is nothing better than coming in to pick up your items on Sunday and having very few things left.  You will have cleaned out your house and made some money in the process!!

Please consider letting your things go for half-price on Sunday.  It is better to get 50% and clean out your closets, than to have to pack it up and take it home again.  If you plan to donate your unsold items, you definitely should have them go for half-price.

Here are some pricing guidelines that we hope you find helpful.  This is only a guide you are free to price things as you wish.  Please take in to consideration the brand of the items and the condition when you are pricing.

Preparing Your Items

Please take the time to read these important tips before preparing your items. 

Consignors must us the MY Consignment Manager tagging system for your items. All tags must be printed on 60 – 70# card stock (available at Staples in various colors).  We can not accept tags that are printed on paper.  The computer system is unable to read these tags.  We would hate to have to turn your items away for not having the appropriate tags.  One more important rule, please do not tape over the barcode on the tag.  While it is important that your tag be attached securely, please do not over tape.  We highly recommend using zip-ties/wire-ties (Home Depot, Lowes, Dollar store).  With the zip ties you can secure your tag to hangers, toys, shoes, etc.  The tags are easy to remove at checkout and there is less damage to the tag.

CLOTHING

•Please hang your items so that when you look at them the hanger looks like a question mark.   It is important that when so much clothing is on the racks it is all facing in the same direction. 
•If you have a multiple piece outfit please pin/zip-tie your items together so that they can be seen by the shoppers.
•Please do not place clothing in zip-loc bags.  They will not sell well.
•If a shirt has a wide neck please be sure to pin to the hanger so it does not fall off.

TOYS

•Please be sure that all pieces of your toy are included and fastened to the toy.  Please use zip-ties, tape or Ziploc bags to contain small pieces.  We do our best to monitor the toy room, but unfortunately there are sometimes unsupervised children that take things apart and scatter pieces.  The more secure your toy is the better.

SMALL ITEMS

•Small items such as hair accessories, jewelry, belts, small toys, etc, fit great in zip-loc bags.

Items Not Accepted

  • bottles
  • Happy Meal Toys
  • Stained clothing
  • baby equipment over 5 years old
  • bathtubs
  • underwear that is not new in package
  • stuffed animals

We will probably not accept ALL of your items.  Please do not be offended by this.  Different lighting often reveals stains that could not be seen in your home.  We are striving to provide the best selection of quality merchandise for our customers so they continue to shop with us (and buy YOUR items).
