HOW TO SELL with JBF El Paso/Las Cruces
After you have completed step 1 (GATHER) ✅ it's time to move on to step 2 - PREP! Let's get those items ready to sell.
When prepping your items, be sure they follow the four C's -
Clean, Complete, Current & Compliant!
Clean
Check clothing & cloth items for stains, fading, holes, snags & excessive wear. Take a close look at highchair straps and the neckline of onesies for yellowing. Use a magic eraser on shoes and toys to make sure they are squeaky clean! 🧽
Complete
Check puzzles and games to ensure all pieces are present. Toys must have working batteries to be sold! Check that all safety items are included (for example, high chair straps must be present).
Current
Items sell best if they are current styles! We recommend tagging your newest items first (styles less than 5 years old typically sell best!)
Compliant
Some items may have a safety recall from the Consumer Products and Safety Commission. Many recalls can be fixed and then safely sold at the sale. Check for recalls by searching at CPSC.gov.
View the JBF Safety Guide to see the recalled items we most frequently see at the sale. This guide also links to the car seat and crib waivers which are required to be printed when selling these items at the sale.
Woohoo! You have cleared the clutter and prepped the stuff, now it's time for STEP 3 - create price tags. 🏷️ This is the exciting part (when the dollars 💵 start to really add up 📈)!
