The new safety law does not require resellers to test children's products for lead. However, resellers cannot sell children's products that exceed the lead limit and therefore should avoid products that are likely to contain lead. In the case of consignment events, consignors are the 'resellers', so it is important that everyone take precautions to ensure that the items they bring to the sale are not subject to recall.

We are committed to helping our consignors sell products that meet the safety standards of the CPSC. To ensure the safety of your children, we will not sell items noted in the statement -- recalled children's products, children's products that are likely to contain lead such as children's jewelry, painted metal toys, flimsy toys that are easily breakable into small parts or contain small parts that are not securely fastened and could present a choking hazard.

Consignors sign an agreement which states that all items they are selling do not, to the best of their knowledge, contain lead and are not subject to recall.

Together, we provide our community with an opportunity to buy quality, safe, gently used children's merchandise, and to get a great return for the children's items that are outgrown.

When pricing your items please consider the age & condition for each item. Remember to look at each item as if you were looking to buy it for your child. When setting the price, ask yourself - How much would I spend for this item?

Prices should be in $1.00 increments. Unsure how to price an item? A good rule of thumb is 1/5 to 1/3 of the original retail amount, taking into consideration the age and condition. For new items, 1/3 to 2/3 is generally about right.

There will be a 50% OFF DISCOUNT on the last day of the sale. When filling out your tags, please remember to indicate if you would like your items discounted for the 50% OFF DAY.

Tags can be printed here

You will need:

*White or your color cardstock paper
-use white to donate your unsold items after the sale, or use your specified color cardstock to have your items sorted for pickup at the end of the sale

*Scissors or paper cutter

*Hole punch

*Zip ties (cable ties) for securing tags and items together

*Ziploc bags for toy or puzzle pieces, blankets, socks, etc.

*Masking / painters / packing tape - packaging tape works best for attaching tags to plastic bags, but may cause damage when used directly on items. Please use painter or masking tape when in doubt.

*Hangers - use child size or adult, plastic or wire...use whichever hangers your clothes will look best on

*Rubber bands or twist-ties to help you group all same sized and gender clothing together after tagging to make drop-off quicker.

• SIZE - Fill in the size if the item is clothing. Leave blank for all other items
