Will your clothes pass the “sniff test?”  Clothes with a strong musty, mothball, or smoky odor cannot be accepted.

Secure the tag to each clothing item with a safety pin.  Do not use straight pins or the very small safety pins, they do not hold the tags on the items.   

Items that have lost their tags cannot be sold.

You must pin the tag on the front of and on the right – as you face the garment.

Do not bring out-of-season clothes, sports equipment for Spring or Summer, or other items not usually associated with Fall & Winter. 

Seller Instructions for Other Items: 

Shoes:

Put pairs of small shoes into plastic freezer bags.  Tape the bag closed.  If the shoes are too large for plastic bags, use 2 bags or bind them together with zip ties.  Simply tying the laces together is not secure enough for the number of buyers handling them.  (Note: Suede shoes are permanently damaged by most tapes.  Put all suede shoes in bags.)  Zip tying shoes together by their tabs or shoestring holes keeps the pair together during rough handling but also allows the buyer to access size and fit.

Toys:

Toys, games and puzzles must be complete.  Double-check that all game pieces/parts are included before sealing the box.  Boxes should be taped shut.  Many small pieces can be taped shut in freezer-strength bags that keep them securely together.  For items that cannot be bagged, use heavy-duty tape to keep parts together.  Again make sure that all parts are included.  Buyers let us know when a game or toy is incomplete or does not work; don’t let that complaint be about your item! If several complaints are made regarding incomplete items you have sold, you risk losing your right to sell at our sale.

Strollers:

Do not tape strollers shut.  Buyers like to open and close them when deciding what to purchase. 

Books and DVDs:

For books and DVDs, use removable labels so items are not damaged when the tag is removed by the purchaser.  Be prepared to sort your own books into the boxes organized by book category (e.g., chapter books, first readers).  Some sellers find it helpful to presort the books into plastic bags so placing them in the Glenn boxes is fast and easy.  As of Spring 2010, we will no longer be accepting VHS tapes or cassette tapes.  We will not sell PG-13 rated or R rated movies!  The complete list of book and video categories follows on the FAQs page. 

Car Seats:

Infant/toddler car seats do not sell unless they are in superb condition.  We suggest they be less than four years old and very clean.  Booster seats are always in demand.  They should also be less than four years old.  No car seat brought into the sale should have been involved in any accident, even fender-benders.   We are not responsible for recalled items.

Seasoned Seller Tips!

Past sellers find grouping items by size (at home) is an efficient way to hang them quickly during the drop-off process.

Be fair and reasonable when you price items.  Ask yourself, “Would I buy this item in this condition for this price?”

Save your trunk space!  The Glenn Sale does not accept the following items to sell:  stuffed animals, encyclopedias, pacifiers (even new), teething rings (even new), war toys, weapons, violent games/ movies/books, VHS tapes or cassette tapes, PG-13 or R rated movies.
