Which items can I sell?

We accept items for infants - teens. If a child uses it, odds are we sell it! Our sale event is not season-specific, so you can sell most items year round. See the Basics of Selling guide and the full Seller Guide to see all that you can (and cannot) sell each sale season.

What is the first step to sell?

Reserve your spot at our upcoming event and select your drop off time. Once this is completed you will receive your Full Seller Guide and next steps in an email.

How do I get my items into the sale?

When you register, you will select your drop-off time. If you are a "Do It Yourself" seller, at drop-off you will bring in your items and place them onto the sales floor in the appropriate shopping areas. If you choose our Express drop-off and/or Store & Save options, our team will place the items onto the sales floor for you.

How do I create tags and who prices the items?

We have a free tagging site that is open 24/7/365 for you to use to create your tags. We offer video assistance, guides for pricing, a Facebook Community Group, a Seller Coach contact, and more to help sellers be successful! Have questions, please reach out!

Do I have to stay and work the sale (reserve a booth to sell)?

While we welcome you to join us as a staff member to make more money and help make the sale a success, this is not required. Our events are not set up in "booth" fashion, rather items are organized by type (all books, toys, baby gear, bags, etc together) across sellers. This makes for a more pleasant shopping experience and sells more of your items!

What happens if my items don't sell?

You get to choose what happens to any of your items that don't sell - donate to our great local charity (Rust Street Ministries) or pickup at the end of the sale.

Are there any specials or ways to make more money?

Yes! We have many special offers that you can take advantage of. See the "How to Make More Money" section above for more details.
