Policies

Kids Market Policies

1. We will only accept items appropriate for Fall/Winter.  Please save bathing suits and spaghetti strap tops for our Spring/Summer sale.  Kids Market accepts items for children, newborns and juniors.  No adult clothing, shoes or jewelry will be accepted, except for maternity wear.
2. Bring only items you would buy for your child.  Items that are torn, soiled, outdated or missing parts will not be accepted.  Make sure all toys (especially those requiring batteries) work before submission.  At any time during the sale, we reserve the right to pull items from the sale floor that do not meet Kids Market standards.
3. We will accept a maximum of 250 TOTAL ITEMS PER CONTRIBUTOR.  Maternity and Junior clothing items are limited to 25 items each.
4. Mark each piece correctly for Saturday's 1/2 price sale.        NO RED DOT MEANS IT WILL BE 1/2 PRICE!  Price your items to sell!  Start at 1/2 of the original price and work your way down according to age and wear.  1/3 of the retail price is normally a good target range.  Kids Market reserves the right to refuse items which are unreasonably priced.
5. Make sure all separate pieces of items such as toys and bedding are SECURELY attached to one another.  We cannot be responsible for loose items/tags.  See Tagging Information.
6. PRIOR TO YOUR ARRIVAL, YOU MUST correctly and completely tag each item, complete the Check-In Form and have your items sorted by sex and size.
7. Persons contributing 10 or more acceptable items will receive ONE ticket to the Pre-Sale, Wednesday, August 25th.
8. No CHILDREN or strollers are allowed on Pre-sale day.
9. Write clearly and legibly!  If we cannot decisively read your ID# and price, we cannot pay you!  Neatness counts!!
10. Unsold items MUST be picked up on Saturday, August 28th from 7-8pm.  Unclaimed items not picked up during this time will be donated by Kids Market to a local charity.
11. As a Kids Market contributor, you receive 65% of the sales price of each of your items!  A $5 administration fee will be assessed from each contributor's check. 
12. Kids Market will do everything possible to protect your interests; however, we cannot be responsible for fire, theft, damaged or lost items.
13. Kids Market is based largely on its volunteers.  However, when volunteers do not show, it affects our ability to run the sale successfully.  Therefore, volunteers who miss their shift(s) without prior communication with Natalie will be assessed from their Kids Market check at the rate of $10/hour for each hour missed.
