TRICKS & HINTS TO SUCCESSFUL CONSIGNMENT

Please check your items carefully. By bringing in items ready for sale, it will allow your items to be priced faster and you will make more money.

CLOTHING

1. Review your items under bright natural light. Stains (especially oil) show-up better this way.
2. Take a good look at the collar and cuffs. Any soiling in these areas are not acceptable for consignment.
3. Look at the seams (including hemlines) for any loose threads or unstitched portions. Seams need to be intact to be fit for consignment.
4. Hold item up to check for stretching or misshapen areas.
5. Take a look at the logo for cracking or peeling. Cracked logos will not sell an item.
6. Try the zipper. Make sure that it works and that the pull is attached.
7. Look at the overall condition of the fabric. Any areas of pilling, fading (knees and elbows) or dull colour are not acceptable for consignment.

TOYS

1. Try the toy with batteries. Be sure to test all of the functions to make sure that it works.
2. Check for all of the pieces please. Incomplete toys will collect dust on the shelves and will not sell.

EQUIPMENT & FURNITURE

1. Look at the manufacture date. Any item that is older than 5 years cannot be sold.
2. Try to include the manual if possible.
3. For stollers, be sure to click the harness and check the brakes. Any defect will not be acceptable.
4. Look for CSA or equivelant stickers….any item without a Safety Standards sticker will not be acceptable.
