This is the section that should serve as a guide for what can be
sold at Crème Brulée and how to prepare and tag your items
successfully. If you have any further questions please ask!
Items we accept:
New and Used clothing and shoes for boys and girls size
0-12 for all seasons (must be high quality, in excellent
condition).
Newer baby equipment such as strollers, swings, carriers, pack
and plays, car seats etc. sell very well.
Furniture such as cribs, rockers, high chairs, etc.
Linens, trendy diaper bags, toys, children's DVDs, video games,
etc.
* We are always looking for
fabulous Boutique Sellers that can bring something new for our
shoppers to enjoy. If you have a unique custom item to offer,
contact us via email and tell us about it! We will tell
you about the options available to our boutique sellers.
Items we will not accept:
Any item that is in less than great condition.
Clothing needs to be free from stains, fading and piling,
missing buttons, etc. Some items may not be accepted, simply
because they are not what our shoppers are looking for. We will
accept any brand as long as it is an attractive, in-style piece.
Please check all items carefully:
Car seats must be less than 5 years old and have never been
involved in an accident.
Cribs must meet current safety standards (including slats that
are not wider than 2 3/8 inches apart, no large cut out shapes,
etc.)
Refer to the American Academy of Pediatrics for more detailed
information.
All consignors will sign a waiver stating that all the items
they are selling are not part of a recall.

Play Condition:
At check in and throughout the sale we will be checking
for items that may be considered play condition. If one of your
items has been found to have a stain or other flaw, it will be
stamped as "Play Condition" and sold at 1/2 price. This
provides our consigners with a way to earn money on items
otherwise unsellable and provides our shoppers a chance to pick
up some great play clothes.
WE ARE NOT SELLING MATERNITY CLOTHING AT THIS TIME.
Pricing and Tagging:
Pricing:
You are absolutely in control of the price of each
piece. We want you to be happy with the price your item sells
for, of course we also want your items to sell well. Use common
sense and consider the brand and condition. Try to think what
you would pay for the item in excellent used condition. It will
be purchased quickly if it's a bargain. When possible include
original packaging. Also, multiple piece outfits tend to sell
better than individual pieces. If you are not sure what to
price an item, refer to the pricing guide. Please stay in 50
cent increments; $6.50 or $7.00- not $6.49 or $6.99.
Presentation:
All clothing items should be on a hanger, hung facing
left so that the hook forms a question mark. Make sure your
clothing is cleaned and pressed so that it looks its best.
Onsies and blankets should be placed in clear-plastic bags.
When possible, group small items such as socks and tights
together and package in clear plastic (ziplock okay).
Tagging:
After you have signed up to consign, it's time to start
tagging! Use our barcoded tagging system and
print on
white or ivory cardstock only
(regular paper can become
easily detached from your item). When tagging clothing, attach
to the tag or seam on the item itself- DO NOT affix your tag to
the hanger or other packaging. A retail tag gun is worth the
small investment if you have a lot items. A vertical safety pin
is acceptable as well. Do not use straight pins. Make sure all
items that go together are attached to one another. When
tagging large or irregular objects, use common sense, just make
sure the tag is clearly visible.
