Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What items will you accept?

A. We accept items related to pregnant moms, infants, babies and children such as clothing from Preemie to Kid's size 16, TOYS of ALL SIZES (no plush), books, DVD's, strollers, baby equipment, shoes, wagons, play structures, nursery items, play equipment, bedding, toddler beds, changing tables, etc. 

Q. Can I participate in your sale if my tags don't have barcodes?

A. No. We require ALL items to have barcoded tags generated from the online inventory system. When you print your tags, please use WHITE cardstock and print the tags using your GENERAL/STANDARD print settings. If you print too dark, your tags won't scan and this causes BIG problems at checkout.

Q. How can I shop the sale before the public?

A. All volunteers get to shop the EXCLUSIVE Volunteer VIP Presale, which means volunteers shop BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE! Consignors and first time new moms have their own presale shopping time, as well. New Moms/Foster Moms will receive their passes via e-mail, and consignors will receive their passes at drop-off. Please see the home page to see specific shopping times!

Q. Can I bring a guest with me when I shop at the presale?

A. Consignors & volunteers are not allowed to bring guests with them to the presales. If you have a friend who wants to shop with you, have them sign up to volunteer! You don't have to consign to be able to volunteer. First time moms will be allowed one guest for the Thursday morning presale. As a first time mom, we can all understand how confusing and overwhelming it can be when deciding what to purchase for your little one. Often times, new moms like to bring along their mom, grandma, or friend to help them shop.

Q. When do I pick up my unsold items that I don't wish to donate?

A. Unsold items are to be picked up at the designated time, which can be found on the Shop page. All items not picked up at that time will automatically be donated to our charity!

Q. How will I know what items have sold?

A. At the end of each sale day, I upload your sales to the website where you can login to your account and see what you have sold. I usually get to this late in the evening - so please be patient and keep checking back.

Q. Where do I find the wire hangers that you require?

A. In the past, TATB has accepted all types of plastic hangers. We are now shifting towards using ALL wire hangers. You can find wire hangers at any of your neighborhood dry cleaners - and often they will give them to you for FREE!! Feel free to deplete your plastic hanger stash over the next couple of sales, but by Fall 2012, plastic hangers WILL NOT be accepted any longer.
