Gathering Your Items
Please
follow each step exactly so that you get proper credit
for the sale of your merchandise.
Please
note ALL consignors will need to enter their items
online. See Register Now for step by step
instructions on tagging for the online system.
Please bring only items that are seasonally
appropriate. Items must be good quality, clean,
in style and in working condition with all pieces
included (unless otherwise marked).
We
focus our sale on name brand clothing and
WILL
NOT ACCEPT brands from Walmart, K-Mart
and other discount centers
unless they are still new with tags. The only
exception is Target brands. We will accept Target brands if in excellent condition. QUALITY STANDARDS WILL BE STRICTLY
MAINTAINED! (Click
here for a list of brands that we will and will/not
accept)
When in doubt… leave it out. If you don’t feel
good about an item or feel that it is something you
wouldn't purchase then do not put it in the sale. The
quality of our sale is important to all of us.
The minimum sale price is
$3.00.
Please don’t be offended if we ask you to take back
some of your items. We will be screening items very
closely so as to maintain the quality of this sale. It
is often easy to miss a spot or tear when you are
getting your items ready at home. We want to be known
for having the best quality merchandise and we want
you as a purchaser to have confidence that you are
buying the best at Mommy’s Secret.
Attaching
the Tag
Attach the tag to the upper right corner of the
garment with a safety pin. This will allow you
to record the item number on each tag- this makes
putting your labels on quick and easy. NO
straight pens - they HURT! and will fall out.
Secure tags to toys and other items securely with
tape. If the tags fall off and we are unable to
match them back to your item, we can not sell them.
Make sure not to damage the barcode. See
Register Now for detailed tagging instructions
Hanging your Items
- Items MUST be hung
on size appropritate hangers, small hangers are
available at most Dollar Stores.
Clothing must be on hangers
with the hook of the hanger facing left like a
question mark. Two-piece outfits should have the
bottom half attached to the back of the item pinned on
at the shoulders. Never hide the second half under the
first. Matching accessories should be attached to the
front of the garment.
Shoes
should NOT be placed in plastic bags unless there is
no other way to keep them together. Tie laces together
on shoes with shoestrings. Shoes with buckles should
be connected by the straps and buckled together or
tied together with ribbon or string. Shoes must not
be overly scuffed or dirty.
ONLY SHOES IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WILL BE
ACCEPTED – NO “PLAY” SHOES.
Sleepers, Socks and other
Small Garments
Small garments should be pinned together at the
shoulders and hung on hangers. It is usually best to
pin several items together and sell them as a set.
Make sure to group like sizes.
Socks may be placed in Ziploc bags.
Toys - Batteries Must
be Included if Required for Toy Operation
Large toys should have the tag attached with clear
tape in a conspicuous place. Small toys or toys with
lots of pieces should be sold in Ziploc bags with
the top taped shut with packing tape (Masking/Desk tape
does not hold). All stuffed toys must be in MINT-
Like New condition!. There is a minimum on all toys of $5.00
(approx. $15 retail).
You may group smaller items for one price.
Sorting
You should sort your items by size and gender when you
enter them into the system. If some of your
items are not sorted, after check-in we will ask you
to sort the odd items in among your items.
Half Price Sale
When you enter your items in our system you will have
the opportunity to mark your item to be included in
the Half Price Sale on Sunday.
Pickup of unsold items
Unsold items must be picked up during the specified
time. ALL ITEMS NOT PICKED UP WILL BE DONATED TO A
LOCAL CHARITY OR SCHOOL . Click

Donated Items
After entering your items in our inventory system you
will have the option to mark all items for donation,
no donation or specify certain items for
donation. All items marked for donation are not
guaranteed. We pull all donation items prior to
sorting.
