Inventory Preparation

Properly organizing your items for the sale will make it easier for you and for Moppet Togs Team Members at check-in.  It helps if you have gathered all of your items into one area and grouped them by categories.  It is easiest to enter like items in the online inventory system at the same time as you have to make fewer changes to the inventory fields. You will also need to have supplies handy like clear plastic bags, tape, zip ties, card stock, etc.

Information on item limits, what we accept in general, what we accept seasonally and how to prepare those items is as follows:

What We Accept and Don't Accept

Item Limits

  • We have limits on clothing sizes newborn through 12 month. That does not include size 12-18 month and up.
  • Each size category (0-3m, 3-6m, 6-12m) will be limited to 25 items for boys and 25 items for girls.
  • To be more clear, you can have 25 0-3m girl items, 25 3-6m girl items, 25 6-12m as well as 25 0-3m boy items, 25 3-6m boy items, and 25 6-12m boy items.
  • We want you to sell your best, most sellable items in the sale. If you put two sleepers together, that counts as one item. Bundling your items makes them much more attractive to potential shoppers and allows you to clear out your closets and drawers while still keeping to the 25 item limit per size.
