Clothing

The better they look, the better they sell! Please take time to wash and iron your clothes if necessary. Please check for stains, broken zippers, torn hemlines, missing buttons, etc.

We will be checking your items at the store and will not accept any item that is not in excellent condition.

Use small PLASTIC hangers for sizes 10 and below. Use larger PLASTIC hangers for sizes 12 and above. You may also use coated hangers as long as they are 'size appropriate' and do NOT have a blunt metal tip. No metal hangers, please! Plastic and wire-coated hangers can be purchased at discount stores. This makes shopping more pleasant for everyone and ensures that clothes don't get damaged by hangers!

For our Spring/Summer events we will accept warm weather items such as short sleeves, shorts, dresses, skirts, tank tops, flip flops, sandals, swim-suits, as well as light long sleeve shirts/sweaters/jackets and pants. We will not accept: coats, boots, snow gear, flannel, corduroy, heavy sweaters or jackets.

For our Fall/Winter events, we will accept coats, jackets, hoodies, snow gear, Thanksgiving/Halloween/Christmas themed items, and costumes.

Please group items together so that they will equal a value of at least $4.00. They need to be pinned together as well so they don't get separated.

All pants must be clipped or pinned to a hanger, not folded over, as they tend to end up on the floor and shoppers want to see the entire pant to purchase.

Safety pin all sets and accessories securely together with pants hung on the back of the shirt at the waist. Both pieces need to be viewable without unpinning them.

Shoes

Please only bring your like-new shoes! 1) Put your consignor number and price on masking tape on the bottom or on the inside sole of each shoes--this will help if they get separated. 2) Using a zip tie, secure shoes together, including your string tag on the zip tie.

No flip flops for the fall/winter event.

WE WILL NOT ACCEPT SHOES WITH SCUFFED TOES, SHOES THAT ARE DIRTY OR SHOES WITH DISCOLORED SOLES.

Bedding and Blankets

In accordance with Oklahoma Bedding Regulations, we will not accept used comforters at our events. We will still accept sheet sets if they are baby/children sizes and themes. It is best to package a bedding set together in its original clear plastic bag with zipper. Large ziploc bags can also be purchased to keep bedding clean and together. You can often find XL bags at the dollar stores.

Label any bedding set with everything that is included and the size.

It is also a great idea to take a picture of the bedding set and place it on the outside of the bag.

Hang and pin blankets over hangers so that shoppers can see them. If they are small receiving blankets, group 2 or 3 together in a ziploc bag and seal with clear plastic tape. Tape the string tag to the inside of the ziploc bag.
