Consignors must tag and price all
of their own items. Instructions on how to prepare items are listed
below. We greatly appreciate your detailed attention as you prepare
your items to help our sale run smooth!
Have fun entering your items (this can be done at your convenience -
it does not have to all be done at one time or in any particular
order), but be sure to note that all items must be entered into the
system and tags printed by midnight the Monday before the sale
begins. That means no
substitutions or additions after this time!
Clothing and Shoes
-
All clothing must be on
hangers with the hanger open to the left - resembling a question
mark. (see photos on right)
-
DO NOT price any item less
than $2.
-
Pin tags to the front right
shoulder of the garment as you LOOK at it with a safety pin. The safety pin should
go through the punched hole you create in the tag and into the clothing so that the
pin does not pierce the tag. This allows fast removal at
checkout. (see photos on right)
-
When hanging shorts, skirts,
or short pants, secure waistband to TOP of hanger with safety
pins. (see lower photo on right)
-
Blankets should be hung on a
hanger and secured with a safety pin.
-
Do NOT use straight pins,
paper clips, clothes pins or
staples.
-
Please punch ONE hole in the
"Pin tag here" line on your tag and attach the tag with ONE
safety pin (pinned vertically) to your clothing item.
-
If selling more than one item
together on two hangers, please tightly rubber band the two
hangers together so they will not come apart.
-
Remember to button, zip, tie,
etc ... each article of clothing that you submit.
-
Items do not need to be in
size order before entering in the inventory system, but it might
make the process easier, since the items must be in size and
gender order when you check in your items at the sale.
-
Remove any stains and launder
all clothing. Ironing is not necessary but you could use a Wrinkle Releaser to make clothing look its best.
Please bring clothing odor free.
-
Place infant shoes in a Ziploc bag
and seal shut with clear packing tape. Make sure the shoes
are dry before sealing bag, they will mold quickly. Kids
size shoes must be attached with a zip tie, ribbon or string.
Use a safety pin and attach the tag to a lace, the zip tie or a
ribbon loop. DO NOT attach the tag directly to the shoe
material.
Everything Else
-
For books, puzzles, games,
videos, and DVDs, prevent the package from tearing by using
painters or masking tape. Please
only tape around the edges of the tag bag for easy tag removal.
DO NOT tape over barcode! For larger items you can place
your tag in a small bag and then tape the small bag to the
larger item. This will allow the tag to be removed
easily and without tearing it during the checkout process.
-
Place toys with small parts
in Ziploc bags, tape shut and then securely tape to the item
they accompany.
-
ALL items must be cleaned
prior to your drop off appointment. We do not have the
space or time for you to clean your items at the Expo center.
-
Homemade items such as
blankets, hairbows, burp cloths etc., are allowed but DO NOT put
any business advertising or contact informaiton on your tag or
items. We do not allow space for vendor's at this time so
we will not allow vendor's to display items throughout the sale.
We also reserve the right to limit items at drop off.
-
For larger items, such as
infant bedding, use clear, see through bags.
Ziploc makes super size bags now and they are super easy to use.
-
Please make sure that items
are securely tagged and that we can easily remove them
for check-out.
-
Do not price anything less
than $2.
-
Price competitively - ask
yourself what you would pay for the item. A good guide is 1/3
the new price for best condition, 1/4 the new price for fair
condition.
-
Saturday is Half-Off Day. You
choose if you want your items reduced. We encourage you to
choose this option - it's more satisfying to take home a bigger
check than a load of unsold items!
-
Make note, we will sell your
item for what is priced in the barcode. If you
change a price on any item, you MUST, print a new tag.
Shoppers get very annoyed and sometimes put items back if the
printed price differs from the sale price that the computer
scans. Make sure you are thorough as you are tagging!
