Kids’ Closet Consignment

& Resale Event

Sponsored by GFWC Oconomowoc Junior Woman’s Club

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.

When: Consignor & Member PRE-SALE*: Thursday, April 12th 6pm to 8pm

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC: Friday, April 13th 9am to 6pm

ALL ITEMS ½ PRICE: Saturday, April 14th 8am to 1pm

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

Recalled Products / UNACCEPTABLE: It is Illegal to sell ANY recalled product (for adults as well as children). Please check the CPSC Web site ( 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 and hardbacks / ACCEPTABLE, if printed after 1985
Cheap children’s metal jewelry / UNACCEPTABLE
Unpainted/untreated wood toys / ACCEPTABLE
Painted wooden or metal toys / UNACCEPTABLE
Toys with soft plastic that are made for infants / UNACCEPTABLE : if produced prior February 10, 2009
Dyed or undyed children’s clothing made from natural, untreated cotton, silk, wool, hemp, flax, linen, and other untreated natural materials including coral, amber, feathers, fur and leather / ACCEPTABLE
Clothes with rhinestones, metal or vinyl snaps, zippers, closures or appliqués. / ACCEPTABLE, however please use your best judgment on these for choking hazards, etc. We will be doing the same 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 list of stones that are associated in nature with lead); natural or cultured pearls / ACCEPTABLE
Toys that are easily breakable into small parts including dolls and stuffed toys that have eyes, noses or other small parts that are not securely fastened / UNACCEPTABLE: could present a choking hazard – NO SMALL PIECES/PARTS

The above information is not presented to “scare” or discourage you from consigning, but rather to inform you of the regulations & its impact on re-sellers. We want to make sure you are informed! Additional information on the law can be found at

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.

If you are unsure if your item meets the guidelines, do not bring it!

We really dislike implementing so many guidelines, but it has become necessary due to more recent situations that have put our volunteers in awkward situations and have jeopardized our reputation of a great service to the community and having “like new” items.
