Accepted Items

High Standards

It is important that our sellers only bring items that are in excellent condition.  We do not accpept items with missing pieces, stains, tears, excessive wear, smoke or musty smells, etc.  Sellers must inspect their items thoroughly prior to drop off.  Items that do not meet these guidelines will be either rejected or pulled from the sale floor.

Minimum Pricing

All items (including clothing, toys, books, etc) must be priced at a minimum of $3 for our IN PERSON sales and $4 for our ONLINE sales. Items of lesser value may be bundled to increase the cost of the item! For example, 2-3 books or an outfit are great things to bundle and our customers love to shop these! Bundled items count as 1 item toward the clothing limits.

Working Order

All items must be in working order for us to sell at the TotSwap.  Electronics must have batteries, all pieces must be included in games & puzzles, etc.  Be sure to thoroughly test your items prior to drop off.

CLOTHING Item Limit of 150 for IN PERSON Sales

While we’d love to take it ALL, we don’t always have the room for it all.  Consignors are limited to 150 clothing items per event.  Within that 150 there is also a limit on the baby sizes 0-24mos, juniors & maternity items.  Please read below for these specific limits.

Accepted Items

Limits for IN PERSON Sales
No limits for ONLINE Sales

  • NEW IN PACKAGE items limited to only 2 of the SAME item.  These may be restocked but only 2 of the same NEW IN PACKAGE item from the same seller may be on the sale floor at one time.

  • NEW For ONLINE Sales ONLY – Women’s clothing, shoes & accessories, home decor, & pet items.
  • Girls Clothing Sizes Preemie-Juniors
  • Boys Clothing Sizes Preemie-20
  • NO MORE THAN 10 JUNIOR Boy/Girls TOTAL clothing items per consignor. These 10 items MUST be one of the following brands and MUST be listed on the tags description: Abercrombie, Adidas, Billabong, Champion, Charlotte Russe, Columbia, Lilly Pulitzer, Under Armour, Nike, Gap, Athletica, PINK, American Eagle, Pac Sun, Hollister, Urban Outfitters, North Face, Vineyard Vines, Southern Marsh.

  • Infant Clothing – limited to 25 items per size regardless of gender up to 24 mos. (preemie, 0-3mos; 3-6mos; 6-9mos; 9-12 mos; 12-18mos; 18-24mos)

  • This is where things might get a little confusing…our racks are set up this way. So if you have an item that does not fall into one of these sizes (3mos; 0-6mos, etc) you will need to choose where to hang the item. We recommend that you size down since used clothing items are washed they may run smaller than when purchased new. But you may size up if you feel an item runs large. The limits are based on our racks so if you have put your 0-6mos item in the 0-3 category, then that counts for 1 in that category. You can adjust that item though to put it in 3-6mos if you have reached your limit already in 0-3. I hope that makes sense!

  • Maternity Clothing – limited to 5 items per consignor

  • Shoes – Each seller is limited to 25 pairs of shoes! Kids wear their shoes hard so please make sure they are in great condition before you try to sell them!
