do you sell stuffed animals?
No. MOMsMart does not allow stuffed animals in the sale.
are car seats/cribs sold at momsmart?
Car seats are allowed to be sold at MOMsMart. This is a case of "buyer beware" because car seats expire. Car seats that have been in an accident are considered to be no longer safe and should be destroyed. HAMOM is not responsible for expired seats being sold to buyers. However, we do our best to remove objects from the sale that do not belong, like expired seats. Visit a car seat manufacturer's website to view the lifespans of their car seats.
Cribs are allowed to be sold at MOMsMart, but beginning June 2011 there were serious restrictions on what kinds of cribs can be resold in America. This includes drop-side cribs being sold in retail stores and resold through consignment stores, sales and websites like Craig's List. For more information, please visit the CPSC website's Crib Information Center. WE NO LONGER ACCEPT DROP-SIDE CRIBS AT OUR SALE!

Consignor Tips
how should i price my items?
The minimum price we accept is $1.00 and items can be priced at $0.50 increments.
A general rule of thumb is to price your items 1/3 to 1/4 of the original price at the time of purchase.
For clothing, it varies depending on the quality of the clothing, the age of the clothing, and how worn the clothing appears to be. A pair of Carter's pajamas (which is a medium quality clothing brand that can run $8-12 new) with no stains, little wear, and still looks to be fairly new can be priced at $3.50-$5. The same pair of pajamas with real visible wear (and still stain free because we don't accept stained clothing) is going to sell for $2-$3.50 at most. If you have store-brand clothing (Faded Glory, Circo, Jumping Beans), you really need to price these items closer to the 1/4 or even 1/5 the sales price. Reasoning is because store brand items are made of lesser quality fabric that becomes pilly (those little tiny balls of fabric all over the piece of clothing) after a couple of washings. Even some medium-quality clothing items from Carters will become pilly. Pilly items are going to earn you less at a consignment sale. Higher quality items from children's stores and boutiques are going to sell for closer to the 1/3 to 1/4 mark because they are going to last longer and look nicer after a season's wear. A Gap summer dress can sell at a consignment sale for $5-$8 easily, as long as it still looks nice.
For toys, shoes, and gear, simply follow that 1/3 to 1/4 rule of thumb. As before, it depends on how well the item has held up after wear and how much the item was at the time of purchase.
Whether your item is a piece of clothing, a toy, shoes or something like a high chair, BE SURE the item is CLEAN! A dirty high chair isn't going to sell. A worn out pair of shoes isn't going to sell. We DO NOT accept dirty or stained items of any kind!

what kind of hangers do i need to use?
As it stands, we do not have any rules on hangers. You can use wire or plastic, including hangers that come on the items at the time you purchased them from the store. If you use a hanger with a size already on the hanger, either make sure the clothing matches the size on the hanger or mark the size out with a permanent marker. This lessens confusion for shoppers. Instructions for hanging your items can be found on the Tagging Instructions page.
where can i get hangers for the sale?
Consignors can purchase supplies directly from HAMOM here. You can also find hangers at Walmart and Target, but this is probably the more costly route.
How should i tag toys?
Secure tags to toys with tape or a safety pin (when appropriate). Make sure your tape does not cover the barcode on your tag. Make sure your toys have batteries in them and are functional without any broken or missing parts. If your toys make it out to our sales floor and are not clean or functional, they will be removed and not returned to you.
NOTE: We do not accept stuffed animals.

how should i tag shoes?
Smaller sized shoes can be put in a zip-top bag. Tape or pin the tag to the bag (make it as secure as possible). Larger sizes can be zip-tied together.
Make sure you do not tape over the barcode. Our workers must scan the barcode, and if it is covered your item may not be sold.
