Believe it or not, I have found the any type of toy sells better than clothing. I know I personally use the consignment sale as a way to PURGE toys, but it is a great way to pick up practically brand new toys for a fraction of retail.
I know when it comes to buying puzzles and games, there is nothing more frustrating as a shopper than to get home and realize that there are pieces missing or that part of the game doesn't work. We bought a DVD Twister game at a sale in the fall and when we got home, the entire DVD was in Spanish.
So, when it comes to tagging puzzles and games, have your children either work the puzzle or play the game before you tag it. Trust me, they will tell you what is missing and you certainly don't want to sell something that isn't 100% complete. When it comes to toddler wooden puzzles, put the puzzle pieces in a clear baggie and tape it to the back of the wooden board. Add your tag to the outside of the bag and make sure you use clear packing tape to keep it all secured. On puzzles in boxes, once you have confirmed all pieces are there, use clear packing tape to seal the original box back together. Tape tag to the outside of the box.
On games, you will use the clear packing tape to seal the original box back together. Tape your tag to the outside of the box. If you are selling games that have DVDs or you are selling video games, make sure you check them for scratches or that they actually work. Sealing the game inside it's original box doesn't allow the consignor to check for scratches so they are relying on you to make sure you have already made sure it worked.
Tomorrow's post I will talk about getting baby items packaged and tagged, including bottles, bibs, receiving blankets, etc.
