The ABC's of Sorting

The ABC's of Sorting

  1. ALTERATIONS (We don't accept hemmed or altered items)
  2. BATTERIES (All equipment and toys must have working batteries)
  3. CUFFS & ELBOWS (Check cuffs, elbows and pant hems for wear and tear)
  4. DRAWSTRINGS AND TOGGLES (There is legislation banning childrens' clothing items which have toggles and drawstrings longer than 3 inches)
  5. EQUIPMENT (All equipment must be clean, in good working order and be less than five years old. We will check all equipment for safety recalls)
  6. FADED OR TOO WORN (The washed out item will not sell)
  7. GAMES AND PUZZLES (We take a few of the more popular games, but please make sure all pieces are accounted for (we don't take puzzles with more than 50 pieces)
  8. HEMS (Check pant hems for wear or fraying)
  9. IRONED (Presentation is everything!We don't take wrinkled clothing)
  10. JUST YOUR BEST! (Think quality vs quantity! In our store mediocre doesn't sell!)
  11. KNEES (Check the knees on all pants and overalls for wear)
  12. LARGER SIZES (We don't have as much demand for kids sizes 12 to 18. Don't be surprised if we only take 4 or 5 items per bag of larger clothes)
  13. MATERNITY (We have a small section for maternity clothing and only the latest in maternity fashion sells)
  14. NEATLY FOLDED (Even recently ironed clothing won't wrinkle if clothes are carefully folded and put into a garbage bag.
  15. OUT OF SEASON (We take fall and winter in June and spring and summer in December)
  16. PILLY (Hold clothing up to the light and check for pills on the material)
  17. QUICKLY (If clothing is well sorted and in EXCEPTIONAL condition, we can process it and sell it quickly! Good for you and good for us!)
  18. RECENT STYLES (Only from the last 3 years, please!)
  19. STAINED (We sort under very bright lights and we try to catch every little stain! Carefully check the front of all sleepers and onesies)
  20. TORN (Check seams for tears, as well as pant hems)
  21. UNDERWEAR (We don't take underwear)
  22. VIDEOS & DVDS (We take fewer videos than DVDS. Please make sure cases match movies)
  23. WASHED (Please!)
  24. X-CEPTIONAL (Are they?)
  25. Y? (Because we don't want you to have to go through racks of mediocre items to find the exceptional one!)
  26. ZIPPERS (Do they work?)
