Just Kids Resale

Attaching price tags:
Secure tags to clothing with a safety pin.  Most Dollar Tree's have containers of 200 safety pins for $1.00.  DO NOT USE TINY GOLD PINS (not sturdy enough), STRAIGHT PINS (ouch) or STAPLES!

Placement of price tags:

Pin tag to top left of clothing, or your right as you are looking at it.  Your safety pin should be attached to the tag where it says PIN HERE.  Make sure that the pin is above the line on the tag under Just Kids Resale.  This line marks the point at which we cut the tags off at checkout.

Kinds of tape to use:

Secure tags with masking tape to toys or other hard surface items.  Be sure to secure all sides of tag to item securely.

** Please - Do NOT use scotch tape; it does not hold well.

** Please - Do NOT use Packaging Tape to secure the tag to the item.  Packing tape is very hard to remove at checkout.  It also tends to sleave sticky residue on items. You may use packing tape to bundle items together, however.

Small Items:

Place smaller items in Ziploc type bags.  We suggest you tape your price tag INSIDE the bag to ensure it does not get separated.  The opening of bag should also be securely closed with packing tape or masking tape.

Furniture:

We strongly recommend that beds, cribs, and larger furniture items be displayed assembled. Most people will not purchase used items such as these without being able to see for themselves the condition of the pieces and whether they assemble together solidly.  If you choose to display them unassembled, parts must be in a Ziploc bag and taped to the furniture. The price tag should be displayed at the top right hand side of the unit. If your item has multiple pieces, you will need to attach separate tags to each of the pieces and label them 1 of 4, 2 of 4, etc.    Please put the price of the set on the FIRST TAG ONLY, tag 1 of 4.  Please take the time to check for recalls at the recall website.  If you are NOT assembling your crib or furniture, please have a photo of the item assembled so people know what they are purchasing.

Bedding:

Bedding and linens can be packaged in two different ways.  Larger items should be folded nicely and placed in clear plastic bags.  Shoppers must be able to see what they are purchasing. If you do not have the original bag, use one of the large Ziploc bags that are available at the discount stores. Any matching accessories should be listed on your price tag and included in the bag as well.  Smaller blankets (receiving or those not part of a bedding set) can be hung on hangers to be displayed on racks or placed in clear bags as well.  We discourage loose bedding for the mere fact that they can become easily soiled in our rigorous shopping environment.

Car Seats:

For liability reasons we can only accept car seats that have been manufactured within the last 5 years (manufacture date is usually found on the underside of the seat). If your car seat has been involved in an accident of any kind or is on the recall list, do not bother to bring it.  We cannot put children at risk and the government has deemed items such as these too dangerous for continued use.  Consult the website www.recalls.gov before you bring in your unit. Straps and cloth liner must be very clean and free of stains. Attach your price tag at the head of the car seat.  A used car seat checklist must be filled out and presented when dropping off the seat.  You can find it here.

Toys:

All toys must be in working order and have all their pieces. Place smaller parts in Ziploc type bags and adhere them to the main toy with tape.  Try purchasing Light Duty Ray-O-Vac batteries at Walmart, instead of name brand batteries, to make those toys walk, talk and sing!   Packs of these go for $.99. 

Outside toys are especially popular at these events, especially the spring one.  So, don’t forget to look out in your yard for those sand boxes, climbers, pools, sports equipment, and outdoor play centers that are no longer being used!

Potty Items:

Diaper pails and training seats must be very clean. A bleach and water soak can be used on diaper pails to rid them of the terrible odor they are accustomed to.  Make sure all potty items are free of "residue" and potty odor.  If they come in dirty, we will not accept them for consignment.

DVDs/VHS Tapes/Books:

DVDs must be brought to the event with some sort of protective case.   For books sold in multiples, place them in a bag and attach the price tag to the inside of the bag. Books should not be ripped, marked or severely worn. 

We do not accept VHS tapes for consignment.  Sorry, but there just isn't a resale market for them and they would take up much needed space.  We encourage you to donate them to your local children's after-school program or shelter.

Shoes:

Shoes should be in very good condition and clean. If they're not, you'll most likely be taking them back home with you at the end of the event.  Take time to clean the mud off cleats. To keep shoes together you can tie their strings, pin them to each other, place them in Ziploc bags, or something more creative..use cable ties or pipe cleaners threaded through the laces to keep them together.  As for the price tags, punch a hole in the tag and feed one of the laces through it or use Masking Tape to secure it to the bottom of the shoes. To make sure your item does not end up on the lost tag table, you may want to write your seller code on the bottom of any shoes.

Price and Size your items:

General pricing guideline is 1/3 to 1/4 of original price for items in excellent condition.  Just like the retail world, brand names sell for more.  Also, popular or hard to find items sell for more. 

PLEASE:  Do not use S,M, L or pounds on size, only true sizes please.  We need to know where to place your items.    Exception:  Maternity wear

Please price in 50 cent ($0.50) increments.

Optional -Make an inventory list of your items and bring this list with you to the check-in.

Use a regular sized piece of paper and include all the information that is on the tags.

Just Kids Resale keeps this list for reference only in case an item is missing a price or the price is not legible.  This list does not provide any guarantee that the items listed were brought to the sale.  Items are sold by the tags, not the list.
