Tagging Info

TAGGING INFORMATION:

1. Index cards and safety pins. 

Purchase 3 x 5 WHITE index cards ($0.46 at Wal-mart)for unsold items you wish to pick-up after the sale or 3 x 5 COLORED index cards ($1.46 at Wal-mart) for items you wish to donate.   You will also need to purchase medium sized safety pins. 

2. Gather and Organize

Clean out those closets! Once you have gathered all your gently used items, you are ready to start organizing them. If your items are properly organized it will make this entire process much easier for everyone! Keep in mind, we are only accepting Spring and Summer items. Save your warm clothing/shoes for our Fall & Winter sale. 

First, you need to separate your items by gender. Second, organize your items by sizes starting at newborn and working your way up. We will NOT accept any handmade items or carseats that or more than 5 years old.  It is your responsibility to check to see if any of your items have been recalled.  We will not accept any items on the recall list https://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/category/toy.html.  Once you have your clothing organized, separate your toys by gender. If your toys contain any loose parts you will need to place them in a zip-lock bag and use packing tape to tape it to the item. Shoes may also be in a zip-lock bag or you may tie the shoelaces together. Tape shut all board games, puzzles, or anything that opens easily and contains small pieces. Make sure that all toys include ALL their pieces (including batteries if applicable). If they do not, please do not include them in the sale.   

3. PREPARE ITEMS

Wash and remove all stains. It would be our recommendation to iron your items (the better the presentation, the better they sell). Hang all clothing on hangers. The clothes need to be hung with the hanger looking like a question mark.   Refer to photo gallery for an example. This is very important. We want all the items facing the same direction. Pants should be hung where they hang open flat on top of the hanger. Safety pin the pants to the hanger by the waistband. If they are hung draping over the hanger then they will most likely fall off the hanger and never be seen. If your item has several pieces or if you need to make a set to meet the $3 minimum requirement, please make sure you use a zip tie, ribbon, or rubber band to secure the hangers together. If your item has an accessory piece (hat, socks, etc.) you may use a safety pin to secure it to the item. All toys, bedding, strollers, highchairs etc. need to be cleaned removing all stains.

4. Labeling

Once you have all your items washed, ironed, organized and hung you are ready for labeling. On your 3 x 5 index cards, leave the top inch of the index card blank. This is where you will place your safety pin. In the middle of the card you will write a description of your item. The more information you give the better it will sell.  Please write neatly and in print.  Include the brand, size, and price (i.e. Red Old Navy shirt, size 4T, $4).  Place your assigned consignor number on the bottom right corner.  Refer to the photo gallery for examples. We have a minimum price of $3 (you may combine items to meet this requirement). A typical guideline for pricing is to take 30-50% off the original retail price. Please take into consideration the quality of your item when pricing. Think of how much you would be willing to pay for that specific item. Your consignor number will go on the bottom right corner of the index card. Please do NOT forget to include this or you will not get paid for the item sold. Be sure to use the correct color of index card for your item.  If your item has a COLORED index card, it will get donated at the end of the sale.  If your item has a WHITE index card, it will be ready for you at Pick-up at the designated pick-up time.  

Safety pin all labels to the front right side of the item. For all toys, furniture, games, strollers, etc. please tape the label to the item using packing tape.  Please only use one piece of tape so it will be easier to peel the label off.   

5. DROP OFF

Before you arrive, make sure your items are well-organized (clothing in order by sizes, toys separated by gender, shoes separated and in correct size order, etc.). After you check-in, your items will be inspected. We will be very picky so do not get offended if some of your items are sent back. You will then place your items in the designated areas. If you have any large items, it is your responsibility to assemble them in the designated areas.
