What is the minimum or maximum number of items I can bring?
Consignors can sell as many items as they wish. We do strongly encourage consignors to sell a minimum of 25 items.
What can I consign?
We limit our sales to seasonal items. Please read our Accepted Items page for detailed information about what items we do and do not accept. Feel free to contact us if you have a question about a specific item.
Are there items that you will NOT accept from consignors?
Yes, we do not accept car seats, drop-side cribs or recalled cribs, VHS tapes, used breast pumps, crib bumpers, bathtubs or items that are not in excellent condition. Clothing must be free from stains, tears, pulls, fading and excessive wear. Any item that does meet our strict criteria will be sent home at check-in or pulled from the sale floor. ALL ITEMS MUST BE CHECKED FOR RECALLS BY THE CONSIGNOR at https://kidsindanger.org/.
Cape Kids’ Treasures reserves the right to dispose of any item marked for donation that is in poor condition. Please see Accepted Items for detailed information regarding items we do not accept.
May I consign maternity clothing?
Yes, but it must be in excellent condition and limited to 15 pieces per consignor. The best sellers will be high end brands and specialty items (work wear, coats, jeans, dresses, skirts, etc.) and of course brand new items with tags.
Some of my clothes are brands other than those listed. Can I sell them too?
Yes! As long as the clothing is in great shape and is high quality, we’ll accept any brand.
Can I sell clothes that are not for the current season?
No. We accept Spring & Summer items at our Spring Sale and Fall & Winter items at our Fall Sale. Please feel free to hold seasonal items until the appropriate sale.
Where can I find safety pins and hangers?
Safety pins and clothes hangers can be purchased at national discount chains as well as dollar stores. Safety pins should be at least 1 inch long. Alternately, you may use a tagging gun to attach tags to clothing (see link on the CONSIGN page). You may want to ask clothing stores and dry cleaners for hangers. We may also have extra hangers available at the end of each sale during consignor pick-up hours. Tags for baby equipment, nursery furniture and toys should be attached in a secure manner with cording, string, or nylon cable ties (cable ties can be purchased at any hardware store, Home Depot and Harbor Freight sell packages of 100 – 8” cable ties for around $3).
I’m not sure how to price my items?
Please read our Tagging Instructions page.
Will I need an appointment to drop off things?
Yes, appointments are scheduled every 20 minutes (12:00pm; 12:20pm; 12:40pm; 1:00pm) during our designated drop off hours. You may sign up for an appointment(s) once you are logged into your consignor account.
Do I have to pick up my items after the sale?
No, you can elect to donate your unsold items. Any items you do not want donated must be picked up during the designated Consignor Pick Up Hours. Any items not been picked up during the designated time will be donated. Sorry, there are NO EXCEPTIONS to this as we must be out of the facility and cannot store your items.
Where do donated items go?
Currently, our donated items go to A Baby Center in Hyannis, Cradles to Crayons in Boston and several other non-profit organizations. However, Cape Kids’ Treasures reserves the right to allocate donated items to other charities. Any item marked for donation will go to a charity, Cape Kids’ Treasures will never keep any items marked for donation.
What if I find that an item is missing from my pick up pile?
Cape Kids’ Treasures is not responsible for any items that may become lost or damaged during the course of the sale. We will do our best to help you locate any missing items. Items lose their tags or mates, toys not secured properly lose pieces, or an item maybe inadvertently sorted under another consignor’s number. It is the consignor’s responsibility to check through their items at pick up to insure they have all their items as well as check our “Loose Tags” board and racks marked “Items Missing Tags” and “Rejected Items” before leaving Consignor Pick-Up.
Can I get tax receipt for my donated items?
Yes, after the sale, a Donations Report will be uploaded into your consignor account.
Who is allowed to shop at the Consignor Pre-Sale?
Only registered consignors may attend the Consignor Pre-Sale. However, consignors can donate $5 and receive a Guest Pass to the Consignor Pre-Sale for a friend or family member! All donations go to A Baby Center.
Can I bring my husband/wife/relative/friend with me to the Consignor Pre-Sale?
You may earn one Guest Pass to the Consignor Pre-Sale by donating $5.00. All donations go to support A Baby Center.
Can I bring children to the Pre-Sales/Public Sales?
We do LOVE our little ones! However, we would like to strongly encourage NOT bringing children to the Presale if possible. Our Presale will be busy and not much fun for kids. However, if you have no alternatives for child care then of course your children are welcome. For their own safety, parents are asked to keep a very close eye on their children at all times and not let them wander off on their own. Please do not allow them to play with the toys that are for sale. If your child damages an item you will be required to pay for it, it wouldn’t be fair to our consignors otherwise.
