We have three convenient ways to sell baby items & kid gear.

First, we offer our premier Curbside Service in the San Francisco Bay Area. This service is great for large quantities of toys, games, and small gear items that can be packed in bags or boxes.

Second, for smaller stashes of used toys, baby items & kid gear, we offer a Cleanout Box. With this service, if you live anywhere in the continental U.S., we’ll send you a pre-paid shipping label so you can send your gently used toys and gear to us in a medium-sized box. We aren't currently able to offer this service in Hawaii or Alaska - our apologies.

Finallly, if you live locally, you can arrange a Drop Off of toys and gear at our warehouse in Hayward, CA.

A note about stuffed animals:

We do accept certain plush toys. But they must be in New or Like-new condition and from these brands: Disney, JellyCat, Gund, Blabla, or Miyoni. If you would like to sell baby plush toys from other brands, check with us before including them in your consignment stash.

Want to sell baby items or kid gear that is not on this list? Please contact us at sellers@toycycle.co

We accept new, like-new, and excellent condition items.

That means items that don't appear to have gotten much use. Or if they are well-used, they've been very well cared for. So for instance, used toys, games, and baby gear that are excessively worn, chipped, excessively dirty, non-operative, recalled, or missing pieces are not accepted for consignment with TOYCYCLE. Note that we use studio lighting to inspect all items, so please check your things before consigning.

Note: We charge a handling fee if we have to sort through a lot of unfit items. If you are unsure whether your items are fit for resale, you can contact us for a quick consultation.

We’re really pleased to be able to lift the burden of selling outgrown kids’ stuff from the shoulders of busy moms. And what mom isn’t a busy mom?

How much you make depends on what you have to sell. We have families who consign one or two big-ticket items. And we have families who consign literally carloads of lesser-value items.

Our Variable Payout Scale is based on each item’s value and lets you earn more for higher-value items.

$300 – up, you keep 75%

$200 – $300 you keep 70%

$100 – $200 you keep 50%

$50 – $100 you keep 40%

$30 – $50 you keep 30%

$15 - $30 you keep 20%

Under $15 you keep 10%

All of the above percentages are based on cash payouts once your items sell in our online consignment store. Add an additional 10% if you choose a store credit.

You choose how to get paid – cash or store credit. We're also happy to accept your items as a donation.

When you sell baby stuff or kid gear with us, there is no upfront payment. When your items sell, we will deduct a small fee between $5-20. This fee covers the cost of curbside pick-up of all your items, or a prepaid box label. There is no fee for Drop Offs.

• $5 per Cleanout Box label

• $20 for a Curbside Pick-up

Our Basic Service includes:

• Inspection, quick clean, photographs, product research, product descriptions, pricing and listing of your items, as well as storing them until they sell.

• Marketing your items to our customers across the United States

• All online payment processing fees

• The cost of all shipping supplies and postage

Other Potential Fees for Occasional or Infrequent Services

Deep Cleaning

Don’t have time to clean your stuff? While we prefer that consignors give us items that are clean, we understand that not all families have the time to clean all their stuff. So, in order to make this process as effortless as possible for you, we provide a deep cleaning service in addition to basic consignment. We quick clean all products as a part of our Basic Service, but if your items require deep cleaning, we will deduct a fee of between $5-$30 based on the number of items and the time and effort involved. In other words, the fee is deducted from your earnings.

Repairs

With certain products, we can do repairs or acquire a replacement part if necessary. When we have to do repairs, we will deduct from earnings a fee of $5-$25 based on the time involved to make the repair. For replacement parts, we will deduct the cost of the part as well as the cost of time involved to order and install it. Also, note that not all repairs are possible, so please consult with us in advance regarding any repairs your items may need.

Battery Replacement

We test all products prior to listing. If we have to install batteries in order to test a product, we will deduct from earnings between $1-5 for replacement batteries, depending on the size and quantity needed. Toys will generally only incur a $1 fee.

Infrequent Disposal Fee

Infrequently, consignment boxes, bags, or pickups contain a preponderance of items that clearly do not meet our stated expectations – for example are obviously stained, broken or have missing parts. These may be assessed a $10-25 disposal fee. So please consign only items in excellent condition that you would consider purchasing yourself! Note, however, that you will not be assessed a fee if a small number of your items are rejected due to less obvious issues.

One of the time-consuming tasks when selling used items is determining a price that prospective buyers will be willing to pay.

At Toycycle we use a formula for pricing the products we sell in our online consignment store. First, where possible we determine the retail price of the item when purchased new. If an item is not currently available, we look for like items to find comparable pricing.

Then we browse marketplaces and other kids’ consignment or baby consignment stores to see what the same or similar items are selling for used and in what condition. Typically, if it makes sense, we price items in excellent condition at 45% of retail. New items in original packaging or with original tags may be priced at 55-70% of retail. Items that are still in very good condition but have minor flaws are priced between 25-30% of retail. Items that are too damaged or worn to warrant even 25% of retail pricing are not accepted. These items will be disposed of or in some cases donated to charity.

All items in our online consignment store are subject to a markdown process if they don’t sell within the first 30 days. We continue to discount the price on these items over time until they sell.

Items that cannot be listed or are not sold within 180 days will be donated to a local non-profit that supports families in need.

We’re happy to answer any questions you may have about how to sell baby stuff and kid gear! Please feel free to contact sellers@toycycle.co

As a consignor with Toycycle, once you register, we’ll schedule your pick-up or send you a shipping label. Once we have your items, we'll begin to prepare them for listing and sale in our online store. The inspection, cleaning, photographing, research, and listing can take a week or two. Items that do not pass our inspection and are not able to be listed for sale are sorted out during this period. Unless you tell us in advance that you would like to come pick up unsaleable items, they will be listed for free, donated to charity, or in some cases disposed of.

Once your items have been listed, you’ll be able to log into your account and go to your own personal dashboard. You’ll see all of your items and their status listed here. You can track sales and request a payout at any time.

We keep your items listed for as long as we are able. If they don’t sell during that time, unless you have made previous arrangements to pick them up, they will be donated to charity.

When your items sell, you'll have the choice of receiving your earnings in cash or store credit.

We currenlty offer cash payouts via PayPal or Venmo. If you choose store credit, we'll email you an electronic coupon that you can apply to any purchase at checkout.

You can pack any shipping box you have on hand. Our maximum box size is 24X15X12. If you live on the West Coast and need a larger box, just contact us - we may be able to accommodate you.

If you have a lot of stuff, you can request additional boxes. The fee for an additional box is also $5. We request that you send in one box at a time so that we can offer any needed feedback before you send your second box.
