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 consigners 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 tag template 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.
