CLICK HERE FOR A LIST OF ITEMS WE WILL BE ACCEPTING AT THE FALL SALE!
PRICE CHECK! Clothing items priced over $25 must be inspected and accepted at drop off.
ALL HANGING CLOTHING MUST BE PRICED AT $3 AND ABOVE. If your item cannot bring $3 on its own, please combine it with other similar size/style clothing. For example, one onesie cannot bring $3 so you should put three of them together on the same hanger or combine it with a pair of shorts or pants. JBF strives to be high-quality across the board and this will allow shoppers to feel as though they get their money's worth!
JUNIOR CLOTHING: We do not accept adult clothing. Please make sure you are bringing junior sizes. We will only accept CURRENT FASHION junior clothing from popular brands (think Gap, Justice, Abercrombie, Hollister, American Eagle). No generic store brands please (Kohl's, Target, WalMart, JCP, etc).
RECALLS: All items must be checked for recalls by consignor. If an item has been recalled and a fix is required, you will be required to print the recall page and demonstrate the recall fix!
PREMIUM PROTECTION! JBF Broomfield/Brighton attempts to account for each and every item a consignor brings in, but theft and mistakes during can happen. JBF Broomfield/Brighton offers Premium Protection for sale helpers with items priced over $25. This is an "insurance policy" where we will scan your high value items into a database. JBF Broomfield/Brighton will only reimburse for missing items in the Premium Protection program for sale helpers.
NOTE! You will sell MORE if you include your items in the half-price sale! We suggest that you mark your items to sell on the reduced days. It's a psychological thing with shoppers, they actually buy MORE of the items marked to reduce on the full price days (so they don't miss the bargain!) Customers definitely buy a lot of discounted items on Half price day, and if it doesn't sell, it's not money in your Pocket! Of course, it's your decision, and we won't change any tags or prices at the sale.
BUT...If ALL of your tags are marked to reduce AND donate, and you help for at least four hours at the event, we will waive your consignor fee.
CLOTHING: Infant to size 16
Select: We sell children's clothing Newborn through size 16. Please only bring CURRENT FASHION junior clothing from popular brands (think Gap, Nike, Justice, Abercrombie, Hollister, American Eagle...no generic store brands please such as Kohl's, Target, WalMart, JCP, etc.). For maternity sizes, please limit to 15 in the following brands: Pea in the Pod, Mimi, Old navy, Gap, Motherhood, Japanese Weekend and other boutique brands).
Be picky. Look at your clothing items as if you were going to purchase them. No stained or damaged items will be accepted. Any items that look like "mom's" clothes will be rejected at inspection. Please freshly clean your clothing items. Replace missing buttons, sew loose hems and seams, and clip loose threads. Please button all buttons, snap all snaps, zip all zippers before you arrive at drop off. This will ensure that there are no defects in the clothing. The newer the item looks, the better it will sell.
Package and Hang: Hangers - Please hang clothes so the hanger hook points to the left (like a question mark). Hang size 0-6 clothing on child-size hangers and sizes 7-16 and maternity clothing on adult-size hangers. Clothing that falls off the hanger onto the floor does not sell well. Old Navy and many outlet stores are great places to get free hangers (they throw away hangers daily!) and discount stores sell child-size plastic tube hangers at a great price. Clothing Sets tend to sell better (under size 6) so match things up if you can. All garments should be hung with the hanger hook pointing left (hanger should resemble a question mark when looking at the front of item). Safety pin or use a tagging gun to attach clothing sets securely with bottom garment hung on the backside of the shirt, so both pieces can be viewed without separating them. Pants/Shorts: Pant-clip hangers are great but if you use a standard hanger, simply use your tagging gun to attach pants to the top part of the hanger so the garment will not slide. Onesies should be hung as well - if a onesie cannot bring a minimum price on its own, hang two or three onesies together. Socks, tights, hats and infant mittens need to be in a clear zip-lock bag (you may group multiple items in one bag). Please be sure to label your tag well.
Price: Hanging Clothing must be priced at a minimum of $3.00. Put outfits/set together to price for at least $3.00. Non-hanging Clothing - Put sets together to price for at least $3.00, but okay to price for less (i.e., 6 pair of socks for $1.50). Check out our Pricing Guide HERE.
Tag: Clothing on Hangers - Attach tag with a tagging gun or safety pin to the label of shirt or upper right front of pants. Insert the gun in a label or inside seam NOT through part of the clothing (to avoid making a hole or tear in the clothing). Also, pull on the tag to make sure it is properly secured and will not come off easily. Please make sure consignor tags are pulled out of the clothing so they are easily visible to the customers. Non-Hanging Clothing - Please use tagging gun or safety pins to attach tags to onesies, socks, tights, infant mittens, and accessories. Be sure to also attach multiple pieces together. Then put these items into clear zip-lock bags.Tape the bags securely closed

Tag: If bedding is in a plastic bag, attach tag securely with packaging tape to the inside of the bag and tape the bag shut (bedding set prices vary widely and securing tags inside bags prevents tag switching). If bedding/blankets are bundled with string, attach tag directly to blanket and tuck it under the ribbon/string so that it does not easily get pulled off when shifting around during the sale.
