Spring/Summer Sale
- Select only HIGH QUALITY items in gently used or new condition. We do not accept items with holes, stains, missing buttons or parts, excessive pilling or wear, broken pieces or any recalled items. Please be sure that all items are in good, working condition. Please inspect your items carefully under fluorescent lighting and/or indirect sunlight before bringing them to the Sale. For clothing, look especially in the “bib” area, cuff of sleeves, elbows, knees, and seat area. Your thorough inspection at home will aid us in our inspection at your drop off.
