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 tagsThe 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.

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.
