Baby Equipment/Kid's Furniture
Gather: Exersaucers, swings, high chairs, changing tables, strollers, bath seats, baby walkers - You get the point! These items sell GREAT! We also accept toddler and youth twin beds, dressers and youth desks. Inspect carefully to ensure items have all pieces and are not recalled, stained, or damaged.
Package: Items should be assembled at the event to ensure that all of the parts are present and functioning.
Tag: Attach tag to item with a safety pin or clear packing tape. Do not use tape on fabric or delicate items. You can punch a hole in the top of the tag and secure the tag with ribbon or zip ties. Place a piece of tape on tag before punching a hole. This will reinforce the tag so that it is not torn off your item.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Extra tags should only be made for large item pieces that can't be easily secured together (do not do this for clothing or small toys). Place an X over the barcode of the tag with a .00 price, so it is not accidentally scanned.
