New Guidelines:
Because of regulations by the Ohio Department of Commerce, we are unable to accept bedding, upholstered furniture, and stuffed toys. This includes mattresses, comforters, mattress pads, changing pads, cushions, pillows (bed pillows, throw pillows, pregnancy/nursing pillows, Boppies), mattress protectors, quilts, blankets, and sheets. These regulations do not apply to new items in packaging. For further information, see: http://www.com.ohio.gov/documents/dico_Bedding2ndHandProcedures.pdf
“Quality Control” of Items:
In order to maintain the high quality of merchandise at the Changing Hands Sale, we use a “red line” system. When you receive your own items back after the sale that you are NOT donating, you might see a simple red line drawn across one of your CHS tags. This means your item was removed from the sale due to one of the following reasons:
• the item may be off-season (example: bathing suit at a fall sale or winter coat at a spring sale)
• the item may be on the “unable to accept list” (see red middle column)
• the item simply has had too much love and was not in excellent condition
Please do not consign your red-lined items in a future Changing Hands Sale!
