How to Prepare Your Items for Sale

retail.
Launder / thoroughly clean all items.
Attach all accessories securely (tape, Ziploc bags may be used for non-clothing
items).
Attach all shoe pairs securely together, loose shoes will not be accepted. Ziploc
bags or string work well for securing purposes.
Hang all clothing and accessories on hangers. Attach shorts, skirts, and pants to
the hanger with safety pins.
Clothing items MUST be sorted by gender and size prior to your entry into the
Union Academy Upper Campus Gym for drop-off. Given the high volume of
clothing received, we simply cannot accept clothing that is not already sorted.
