Clothing should be made within the last 5 years, and “vintage” clothing will not be accepted.

Selling Success for Clothing

  • Tag your BEST. Shoppers decide what they’ll buy
  • Price it like you’d buy it
  • NO stains, smells, hair, tears. It must be fresh, clean and current (less then 5 years of age). No “vintage” clothing.
  • Leave “play clothes” for a friend
  • Double check for stains in GOOD lighting
  • Bundle multiple pieces together and sell as one item

Quality- Bring Your BEST!

We have high quality, very organized events. Please do not bring items that are stained, worn out, out of date, smoky, musty or showing animal hair. Mama’s won’t buy them!

$2 Minimum

  • Pricing starts at $2.00 with pricing increases in $0.50 increments. No odd pricing. If your item cannot bring $2.00 on it’s own, either bundle it with another item or donate it.
  • How to Bundle? Small items like socks, hats, binkies, bibs, etc can be pinned onto, and sold with, an outfit. Book bundles need to be of the same reading level, and can be sold as one item by wrapping the books in saran wrap or putting them in freezer bag. The minimum value must be $2.00.
  • Don’t forget to check out the Tagging & Pricing Your Items page for more information.

Working Order

  • Customers come back because of our high quality items!
  • Making sure all electronics work, pieces are present, and everything is in good working order is imperative. If it doesn’t turn on, doesn’t work or is missing important pieces, please do not bring it!

Stained, Scuffed, Hairy, Worn Out, Old

  • Triple check for stains! (Mama’s don’t want stained stuff)
  • Is it worn out? Out-dated? Scuffed, smelly or smoky? Didn’t get clean in the wash? Skip it.

  • “Vintage” baby clothes or bedding, including but not limited to, items older than 5 years old.
  • Play shoes with obvious scuffs, dirt or wear
