Why Consign with The Kids Clothesline?

Registration opens 6 weeks prior to each event.

Yes, the registration fee is non refundable and is $15.

No, You can mail your registration fee to PO Box 565 Coopersburg, PA 18036. Please put your email address and phone number on your check. Let us know that you’ll be mailing a check.  Please note: your consignment earnings are paid to you thru paypal.

The registration process is automated and you will receive you consignor number right away.

Consignors schedule an appointment to drop off their items during sale week. Once you have registered Click Here to see the drop off times that are available.

You may bring up to 300 items.

We accept boys clothing up to size 20 and girls clothing up to size juniors large.

We are no longer accepting maternity clothing.

No, we will not accept anything with stains, no matter how small. Please make our job easier by not bringing stained items. We take in an average of 100,000 items, if only 10% of the items have stains that is 10,000 items that you and fellow consignors have to sort through unnecessarily and if anything is missed at check in/inspection, shoppers have to dig through while shopping. No one wants to buy a stained item, please don’t bring them. It’s disappointing to buy an item only to see later that it is stained.

We have a 4 pair limit per gender on shoes. The only exception is if your shoes are brand new or appear brand new. If they are brand new you may bring more than the limit.

We normally close registration and tag entry a few days before our first set up day of the sale week. In order for us to be as organized as we are we need time to space plan. Closing tag entry early allows us to do this efficiently. Thank you for your understanding.

NO, your items will remain on the sales floor for the entire sale. If your items are marked “No Discount” the item will sell for full price, even on 1/2 price day. We encourage you to mark your items half price. When shoppers see a lot of items marked half price it makes them want to shop again on half price day, purchasing things that would not have otherwise bought. Save marking no discount for special items you are having a hard time parting with.

If you are a consignor you can attend the presale at 4pm on Thursday. Consignors that sign up for one shift get to shop the presale at 3pm! If you sign up for 2 shifts you can shop at 2pm! We also have some other duties that do not require you to be at the sale but earn you a presale pass!

YES! All tags MUST have barcodes. Without the barcode we do not know who the item belongs to. Incorrectly tagged items are sold at our discretion. Please do make handwritten changes on your tag. Items will only be sold with the information that was originally printed on the tag. We have no way of knowing who made the handwritten changes. If you want to make changes do so in the system and print a new tag.

You must enter items into your inventory to see your tags. You cannot print blank tags.

No, tags stay with the items when they are sold. You will be able to see your inventory of items sold online.

I have a few items from last sale that still have the tags on them. I have imported them from the previous sale inventory to my new (upcoming) sale inventory, do I need to print out new tags for them or will the barcodes work from the last sale as long as I have no changes to the item’s info/price?

Yes, tags from a past sale will work without reprinting. If you want to change the price or any information on the tag you must print a new tag.

Wire hangers take up less room on the rack. This may not seem like a big deal but when you are dealing with THOUSANDS of clothing items it can make the difference of a few feet in rack space. Plastic hangers also tend to break as people are looking through the racks. With plastic hangers, it is sometimes challenging to secure a top, pants and accessories to a single hanger. With a wire hanger and a few safety pins, you can secure multiple pieces in a flash! Wire hangers also make it harder for items to be removed from the hanger and stuffed into a bag, under a shirt, etc. It’s a great theft deterrent.

Some dry cleaners will give away “recycled” wire hangers for free or you can try craigslist or freecycle. Some dollar stores carry them and I have also seen them at walmart. If you can not find them for free we offer NEW child sized hangers for sale.

No, we would love to be able to collect all the wire hangers from sold items and give them back to consignors but it is just not possible. Hangers go home with sold items.

This is entirely up to you. During pickup, consignors will be asked to find their items on their own. All items will be organized in sizes and categories. It may take longer for a friend to find your items because they will have to search by number and not by sight. Consider making a small distinct marking on your tags or hangers.

Leave the kids at home! 🙂 We also recommend marking your hangers in some way, but remember that sometimes hangers do become separated from their items during the sale so do not totally rely on this! Bring a list of your unsold items to make sure you find the things you want to find. Please keep in mind that while we do our best to protect your items there is always a chance that something will not be found, please don’t bring anything to the sale that would upset you if it were to go missing.
