1st: What we accept

• Childrens’ clothing from Preemies and infants to size 20 and junior sizes.
• Children’s seasonal clothing (in March we accept spring and summer clothes, in September, fall and winter clothing)
• Accessories
• Toys
• Feeding and bath equipment
• Baby and child furniture
• Shoes (limit 5 pairs)
• Bikes
• Outside toys
• Books
• Games
• Videos & DVDs

We cannot accept:

1. Any recalled items.  You must check the Consumer Product Safety Commission Recall Website to see if any of your items are on the recall list.  The new laws impose enormous penalties to those who sell recalled items.  Sellers who submit recalled items will not be allowed to sell with our sale in the future.
2. Maternity items.
3. Cribs (and portable cribs and play pens) that do not have manufacturer labels with model #s and documentation.

2nd:  Prep your Items

Clothing:

• Bring clothes in first-class condition and clean.  We CANNOT accept out of season, stained, badly worn clothing with excessive fading or lint balls, torn clothing, items with missing buttons, or broken snaps.  We cannot accept items not properly labeled.
• Clothes must be hung on hangers with the hook pointing to the left and the tag on the right shoulder if you are facing it (make a question mark with the hanger.) See Tag Guidelines for further instructions.
• Please sew loose hems and make sure zippers, buttons and snaps work properly and are fully buttoned and snapped.
• Spending a little extra time getting your items ready will mean more money $$$ for you.  Items that are cleaned, ironed, and starched, with all pieces attached, and loose threads clipped, sell much better!!
• When selling more than one item in a bundle, the items MUST be attached with safety pins.  The items can easily become misplaced if they fall off of the hanger.  We will not be held responsible for any items not properly secured.
• We will accept sizes 0 to 16 and junior items for girls and 0 to 20 for boys.   Size accurately or your item won’t sell.

Toys:

• Check the recall listto see if any of your items on the list.<
• Toys that require batteries MUST have working batteries in them. Upon check-in, you will be asked to demonstrate that it works.
• We discourage the sale of monster toys and toy weapons as well as any item that may be offensive or frightening to children.
• We will NOT accept Nintendo Systems, Sega Systems or any other game system, nor will we accept games for these systems.
• Toys must be clean.
• Toys and games must have all pieces.  Toys with pieces should be sealed in zip lock bags and bags should be taped shut with the tag taped to the outside of the bag.
• Small toys may be combined in zipper lock bags and sold as one item.
• Reinforce the pin area of the tag for those items that will be tumbled, i.e. stuffed animals.
• Large toys and outdoor play equipment must be clean, and free of dirt and water.  They must include all pieces.

Go to our MyCM inventory website.  It’s very user friendly.  Give it a test drive with a few items.  If you have more questions, read our website.  If you still have more questions, post a comment below.

4th:  Print your tags

Follow the directions to generate your list and print your tags. The system will create a PDF for you to view your tags and print.  View them first. If you do not like them, you can always discard the PDF, back out and fix errors, create another PDF for you to print. If you are happy with your tags, you can now print.  You MUST use 60-67 lb. white cardstock-NOT regular paper, and not 110lb cardstock (the ink will soak in and not print clearly enough to scan). Print a test page first to make sure your barcodes print clearly.  If your tags are visibly printed incorrectly, your items may be rejected at check in or inspection.

VERY IMPORTANT PRINT SETTINGS:

• Print on the “normal” or “draft” (on new HP printers) setting, not the “best” setting which will print too dark.
• The barcode should look crisp and clear, not fuzzy.
• For your barcode to scan, you must be able to see all of the bars clearly.

Watch out for:

5th:  Attach the tags

1. Make sure after cutting the tags apart, to put the correct tag on the correct item.
2. IMPORTANT: DO NOT TAPE OVER THE BARCODE or place tape so the tag cannot be removed.
3. Only one tag is allowed per item.  If you have an item with more than one piece that you think may get separated, attach the pieces with pins, tape, plastic, and use masking tape to mark the separate pieces with your seller # and item #.
