Please note that our Spring 2021 accepted list has been altered due to COVID-19. Please CLICK HERE to download the accepted sheet.
We sell children's clothing Premie through size 20 as well as maternity sizes (limit 20 maternity clothing items per consignor). Be picky. Look at your clothing items as if you were going to purchase them. No stained or damaged items will be accepted, and will be rejected at inspection. Please freshly clean your clothing items. Replace missing buttons, sew loose hems and seams, and clip loose threads. Please button all buttons, snap all snaps, zip all zippers before you arrive for drop off. This will ensure that there are no defect in the clothing. The newer the item looks (and the better it smells), the better it will sell.
For our Spring sale, the season is Spring and Summer clothing (what could be worn March-September)
For our Back to School Sale, this is all seasons, but please emphasize the need for school-age clothing size 5T and bigger.
For our Fall sale, the season is Fall and Winter only (what could be worn October-March).
JBF Seattle East / Issaquah accepts all types of hangers- the only requirement is that the hanger fit the clothing (see below for more info).
Package & Hanging:
Hangers- Please hang clothes so the hanger hook points to the left (like a question mark). Hang size 0-6 clothing on child size hangers and sizes 7-20 and maternity on adult size hangers. Clothing that falls off the hanger onto the floor does not sell well.
Clothing Sets- Sets tend to sell better (under size 6) so match things up if you can. All garment should be hung together. Use a safety pin or tagging gun to attach clothing sets securely with bottom garment hung on the backside of the shirt, so both pieces can be viewed without separating them.
Pants/Shorts- Pant-clip hangers are great but if you use a standard hanger, simply use your tagging gun to attach pants to the top part of the hanger so the garment will not slide.
Onesie, socks, tights, hats, and infant mittens- need to be in a clear zip-lock bag (you may group multiple items in one bag). Please be sure to label your tag well so that customers know exactly what the items are. You can choose to hang your onesies on hangers, or package 4+ into a bag. Please fold and display these within the clear Ziploc bag so it is easy to see and inspect them.
Tagging:
Clothing on hangers- attach tag with a tagging gun or safety pin to the label of shirt or upper right front of pants. Insert the gun in a label or inside seam NOT through part of the clothing (to avoid making a hole or tear in the clothing). Also, pull on the tag ot make sure it is properly secured and will not come of easily. Please make sure consignor tags are pulled out of the clothing so they are easily visible to the customers.
Non-Hanging Clothing- Please use tagging gun or safety pins to attach tags to onesies, socks tights, infant mittens and accessories. Be sure to also attach multiple pieces together. Then put these items into clear Ziploc bags. Please do not tape the bags closed- shoppers may want to feel and inspect items before purchasing. You can also use clear packing tape to tape the tag to the outside of the bag. Please be sure you label exactly how many items are inside the bag.

Make sure that all shoes are clean, clean, clean! We will be VERY selective with shoes during inspection. Shoes must be within current season (Fall= October-March, Spring= April-October).

We prefer no shoes boxes, however, if shoes are in the box please remove the lid and secure it to the bottom of the box, and secure the shoes to the box (closed boxes do not sell well).

Tag: Punch a hole in the top of your tag and attach the tag to the shoes with the ribbon, string, or zip tie. For infant shoes in a clear Ziploc bag, put the tag inside the bag and tape the bag shut with clear packing tape.

Bedding, Blankets, & Textiles
Please note that our Spring 2021 accepted list has been altered due to COVID-19. Please CLICK HERE to download the accepted sheet.
Bedding sheets for cribs and bassinets only. Please be selective when selling crib / bassinet bedding, swaddles, receiving blankets, burp cloths, and towels. New and barely used items sell best. Check carefully for stains; shoppers get very disappointed if they find a stain in a bundled blanket once they get home. We do not accept crib bumpers of any sort.
Package: Put sets together in original packaging or in giant clear plastic bags. Secure the bag so that items do not get separated. Bundle blankets, cloths and towels with ribbon or string like a package.
Price: Price to sell! Shoppers are less likely to purchase these items used, so prices have to be low. Try to price 75%-90% off retail.
Tag: If bedding is in a plastic bag, attach tag securely with packing tape to the inside of the bag and tape the bag shut. If bedding/blankets are bundled with string, attach tag directly to blanket and tuck it under the ribbon/string so that it does not easily get pulled off when shifting around during the sale.
