Thank you for taking part in the GFWC OJWC two-day consignment sale exclusively featuring items for children & maternity wear. Funds raised are returned to the community through various GFWC OJWC service programs.

Clean out your closets & basement - turn clothes, toys, books & other items that your children have outgrown into cash! Save yourself the headache of holding a rummage sale & consign your items (you get 50% of the selling price) or donate your items to GFWC OJWC (100% of the profits go to GFWC OJWC & you get a tax deduction).

Why would you hold a rummage sale when we will do most of the work for you? You don’t need to advertise, set up display tables, or be present the day of the event. All the work will be done for you.

Pricing Guidelines: 1 6 Page of Consignor #: ______ Rule of thumb is 25-30% of original cost  Price it low if you want it to go, but please nothing under $1.00! What is & is not accepted for resale…

The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) is a sweeping new law that impacts a broad spectrum of our economy. CPSIA was effective February 10, 2009. In general, CPSIA is designed to keep our children save from high levels of lead, & other hazards from everyday items. The main body of the law applies to manufactures & required lead testing, but it does have an impact on resellers – even us consignors! As a result, GFWC OJWC will be much stricter on what we will & will not accept for the sale.

Below is a table based on information from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, which addresses what will & will not accept UNACCEPTABLE: It is Illegal to sell ANY recalled product (for adults as well as children). Please check the CPSC Web Recalled Products site (www.cpsc.gov) for dangerous recalled products including cribs, play yards, strollers, high chairs, toys with magnets, toys that are choking hazards, and other products. Books – “ordinary” children’s titles e.g. paperbacks ACCEPTABLE, if printed after 1985 and hardbacks Cheap children’s metal jewelry UNACCEPTABLE Unpainted/untreated wood toys ACCEPTABLE Painted wooden or metal toys UNACCEPTABLE UNACCEPTABLE (these products are subject to the new regulations, and will be acceptable in the future, if produced Toys with soft plastic that are made for infants after February 10, 2009 – however given the close proximity in dates, we will not accept them for this year’s sale.) Dyed or undyed children’s clothing made from natural, untreated cotton, silk, wool, hemp, flax, ACCEPTABLE linen, and other untreated natural materials including coral, amber, feathers, fur and leather ACCEPTABLE, however please use your best judgment on Clothes with rhinestones, metal or vinyl snaps, these for choking hazards, etc. We will be doing the same zippers, closures or appliqués. as we place these items for sale. Surgical steel; precious metals such as gold (at least 10 karat) and sterling silver (at least 925/1000); precious and semiprecious gemstones (excluding a ACCEPTABLE list of stones that are associated in nature with lead); natural or cultured pearls Toys that are easily breakable into small parts including dolls and stuffed toys that have eyes, UNACCEPTABLE could present a choking hazard noses or other small parts that are not securely fastened

The above information is not presented to “scare” or discourage you from consigning, but rather to inform you of this new regulation & its impact on re-sellers. We want to make sure you are informed! Additional information on the law can be found at http://www.cpsc.gov/ABOUT/Cpsia/cpsia.html

Acceptance of items is the sole discretion of GFWC OJWC. If your items are not of the preferred quality or CPSIA guidelines, they will not be sold. 2 6 Page of Consignor #: ______

Until more is known about this new law, if you are unsure if your item meets the guidelines, do not bring it!
