How to consign

Thank you for your interest in consigning! By becoming a consignor, you’re joining our mission to grow the secondhand movement and make shopping for kids more sustainable, affordable, and fun. 

How it works

If you've never consigned with us before, we'll set up an account for you when you come into the store. No need to do so in advance.

There are two ways to consign with us:

  1. You can drop off a maximum of 40 items per week during store hours (Monday - Saturday 10-6) for us to review later. Any items we don’t feel we can sell will be donated to Cradles to Crayons.
  2. If you prefer to have items that we can’t sell returned to you, you can schedule an appointment for us to review your items while you wait. Appointments are available on Thursdays between 10 and 2. Please call in advance to schedule an appointment.

Consignors receive 40% of an item’s selling price. You can collect on your account at any time. There is a $1 monthly fee, charged to your account, for the Consignor Access service to check the status of your account online. You can also call, email, or contact us on social media to check your account. If an item has not sold for over a year, it becomes store-owned inventory. If an account is inactive for 24 months, any outstanding balance is forfeited. 

We set prices based on item type, brand, estimated retail price, and historical knowledge. We may discount prices at any time for any reason.

What we take

We are very selective with the items we accept. If you wouldn't purchase an item in its current condition, we likely won't accept it for resale.

We take:

  • Freshly washed, wrinkle-free, gently worn children's clothing, shoes, and accessories sizes newborn through 12, in excellent condition with no flaws, in current fashions.
  • Designer, boutique, and mall brands.
  • Sportswear (dance & gymnastics leotards and shoes, cleats, ice skates).
  • Unopened toys in original packaging.
  • Select used toys (American Girl dolls and accessories, Yoto, Tonies, Lovevery and other wooden toys).
  • Children’s books in excellent condition with no writing or name labels.

We do not take:

  • Items with flaws of any kind (stains, holes, odors, pet hair, fading, pilling, other signs of wear).
  • Items older than 4 years; out of style fashions.
  • Sizes 14+ or junior/adult sizes.
  • Discount brands (Art Class, Carter’s, Cat & Jack, Cloud Island, Garanimals, Gerber, Jumping Beans, Primark, Shein, Wonder Nation), aside from high-demand items (pajamas, shoes, outerwear, swimsuits).
