    Are there limits to the number of items I can put in the Children’s sale? 

    The following items are limited:

    Junior girls' sizes - limited to 10 hanging items. (true Junior clothing is always sized in odd number sizes 1, 3 , 5, etc.  All clothing with even numbered sizing should be placed in Kids or Adult clothing category

    Maternity clothes - limited to 10 hanging items.

    Can I put more than one item on a hanger? YES!  We highly recommend putting smaller size (baby - 4t) outfits together on one hanger. Sizes 5 and larger do not sell well unless a matching set such as pajamas.  Bundles of onesies, pajamas, shirts, pants, etc sell very well!

    Can I use plastic hangers? All clothing size 2T and  larger must be on wire hangers. Infant clothing size premie - 24m can be on plastic hangers.

    Can I use regular printer paper to print my items tags?  NO.  Tags must be printed on sturdy cardstock which helps reduce tags falling off during the sale.

    What is the best way to prepare and tag shoes/toys/clothes for the sale? ALL tagging details can be found on our tagging page HERE
