Are there items that you don’t accept?

We do not accept:

• Stuffed animals with the following exceptions of:
  • battery operated – teaching toy
  • Character toys – such as talking Elmo
  • New condition holiday – Easter, Christmas, etc.
  All exceptions must be inspected and approved.
• clothing with stains, tears or holes
• toys or equipment with missing or defective pieces
• toys that don’t work – they’ll be tested at drop off

Damaged or defective items will be removed from the sale.

Please make sure you would be willing to put it on or give it to your child. No one wants to sort through, much less buy, damaged items for their children. We insist on accepting only high quality items in excellent condition.

How do I price my items?

Price your items to sell. If you value the item at $10 price it at $8 or $9 to ensure it sells before half price day. Our most successful sellers price to sell and always discount on ½ price day. 

Price at 25-35% of the retail value, depending on the brand/condition of the item. Baby equipment, furniture and large indoor/outdoor toys sell well and are in high demand. We have an abundance of 0-6 month sizes, so they must be priced competitively in order to sell.

What is Discount Day?

We host a ½ price sale day during each sale event. We do this to increase sales of remaining items on the last day of the event – less for you to take home! We do, however, give you the option to NOT DISCOUNT your items on ½ price day simply – it is up to you.

Use NO DISCOUNT tags sparingly. The only time this should be used is when the item is priced competitively (in which case it would be sold at full price earlier in the sale).

Most of our consigners would rather take less profit than none at all. They’d also rather not bring home boxes of unsold clothing and accessories. It is our experience that many of the items remaining after ½ price day were over-priced to begin with. If you over-price AND opt for No Discount, you can count on bringing home many unsold items.

How do I secure small pieces to toys or equipment?

Place them in a ziploc bag and then seal the bag with clear packing tape. This is important! Attach the bag to large items with masking tape, string or ribbon.

When I price items in a ziploc bag, how do I attach the price tag?

Attach the price tag securely and place both item and tag inside the ziploc bag. Make sure the price tag is visible for scanning at checkout.

When do I drop off my items?

Designated drop-off days are listed on the sales information page.

When do I pick up my items that don’t sell?

Designated pick-off days are listed on the sales information page.  Or, you can choose to donate your items on the last day of the sale.

What happens to my items if I don’t pick them up?

Unsold items that are not claimed at pick-up will be donated to charity.

What types of payments are acceptable to purchase items?

We accept cash, MasterCard and Visa. We accept checks from our consignors.

Why is participating in the KidStuff Sale better than having a garage sale?

We do most of the work for you! You just prepare your items and bring them to the sale location. We handle all of the marketing and advertising - you benefit from our existing customer base of eager shoppers. You just pick up your unsold items and your proceeds. And, no pesky negotiations! Our shoppers are looking for quality used items and are willing to pay a reasonable amount for them.
