Here at Bubbles & BEAN... WE LOVE TOYS!!
And by toys, we mean Puzzles, Games, Educational, Musical, Scientific... and Stuffed!  Here are a few pointers on Toys.

• ALL TOYS MUST BE CLEAN!!  Stuffed Animals must have zero stains.  Boxes to board games must be in good shape.  All cracks and crevices must be dust-free.
• All BOARD GAMES & PUZZLES must have all their pieces!  We count puzzles under 100 Pieces, but you should also.  It would be lovely if the games had their instructions, but most game instructions can be found online in case yours are lost.
• DOLLS should be dressed in an outfit!  If they have a few accessories, please put them together so I can sell bundled in a lot.
• If it makes noise.... then PROVE IT!!  The toy must be in working order with batteries!  
• BOOKS cannot be scribbled in... but a note from grandma in the front pages is ok.  All sticker books must have all their stickers!
• If Spiderman shoots projectiles out of his wrist... the projectiles must be included.  If you bring a Nerf Gun.. bring some bullets too in a Ziplock Bag! 

Bottom line is TOYS should be complete!  People want to buy a toy that is ready to go, without a lot of fuss over trying to make it work.  And if it lights up or makes sound, make sure you can prove it!
Sometimes, just a couple of pieces are missing... but then, I will treat it on a case-by-case basis and ask myself if the toy is still fun without those pieces.  I.e.  if a set of blocks are missing a couple, usually no one will notice... BUT, if an alphabet block set is missing a few letters... then someone WILL notice.  Rule of thumb is ... would your child want it?? If not, don't bring it in and waste valuable time and space in your bag.
