Toys must be in safe working order, clean, have batteries that work, and have all parts. If possible, include the instruction manuel which can be printed from most toy company's websites.

Character stuffed animals (Disney, Dora, etc.) and electronic stuffed animals. No other stuffed animals please.

Baby equipment and furniture (cribs, glider rockers, changing tables, high chairs, etc.) Please plan to set-up furniture items when you arrive, as they will sell better if they are assembled for display. It may be difficult, but furniture brought to the sale and set-up almost always sells...pictures of furniture rarely will sell.

Feeding items such as cups, bottles (no nipples unless new in package), plates, utensils

Breast Pumps - any tubing that milk passes through should not be sold with the pump. All parts sold with the pump need to be of the quality that can be sterilized. Contact your manufacture to purchase replacement parts or attach a note to the pump bag to advise customer what parts need to be replaced.

Car seats - must have a manufacture date on the label and not be over 5 years old. You may not sell a car seat that was in an accident (not even a little fender bender!). You are responsible to sign a waiver at your drop-off appointment indicating you have verified the car seat has not been recalled, has not been involved in an accident, and is less than 5 years old per the manufacture date.

Books (children or parenting) - printed after 1985

CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays (please make sure the cover and the disc or tape inside match!) We will accept VHS tapes, but recommend you price them low. Discs that are scratched will be rejected. Please do not tape cases closed, we will provide tape for you to seal them AFTER they are inspected.

Games and puzzles with ALL parts (we will inspect this during your check-in time so please leave packages open and we will provide tape to secure the boxes after inspection).

Game consoles (Xbox, Playstation, etc), related equipment, and games in working order

For spring/summer clothing we do not accept velour, velvet, flannel, corduroy, turtlenecks, cable knit or heavy knit sweaters.
If your sweater is a flat or smooth knit or cardigan style that your child would actually wear into April, this might be accepted.

For fall/winter clothing we do not accept shorts, most tank tops, and swimsuits. If a tank top is designed for "layering" it might be accepted, especially if it is being sold with a long sleeved shirt or sweater.

Items that have been recalled

Any item that may be questionable for lead levels and/or phthalates

No underwear unless it is new and in the original package

No bottle nipples or pacifiers unless they are new and in original package

No rated R movies or M rated video games

No items with pilling (We recommend a sweater depillar to remove pilling from items such as pajamas or sweaters. Wal-Mart sells one for about $4.)
 
No books printed on or before 1985

Any other item that is determined to be unacceptable by the staff

Please do not be offended if we return some items to you during your check-in time. The lighting of the facility often shows spots that were not apparent in your home. We are striving to maintain a high quality of merchandise so that our customers will be happy and want to return (to buy your items).

If your items are not clean prior to your arrival at the sale facility you may be asked to take them home to clean them appropriately and you will need to await the next available drop-off time. Due to space constraints we do not have room for you to be cleaning items during check-in. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we try to keep our drop-off appointments on schedule...being that we are all busy parents, we value your time and do not want to keep the next parent waiting while you are cleaning. Thanks for your understanding and supporting us in knowing that we are providing the best possible items at The Clothing Tree, LLC.
