Preparing Your Items for the Sale

Each consignor is given a number. This is how we will track the sale of your consigned items. Use the enclosed sheet to make tags for your sale items. Items without proper tags will be pulled from the sale.

  1. Write your consignor number in the box in the upper right corner of each tag.
  1. Copy the page to get as many tags as you will need. (You may use any color paper. Do NOT use white.)
  1. Prices must be a minimum of $ .50, priced in $ .50 increments.
  1. If you do not wish for a specific item to be sold at half price, mark the Not Half Price box.
  1. If no one buys the item and you want to donate it rather than take it home, mark the Donate this item if it is not purchased box.
  1. Sizes must be numeric, and only ONE number (for example, 3 months, 12 months, 2T), NOT a range (0-3 months), and NOT Small, Medium, or Large.
  1. Circle Boy, Girl or Unisex.
  1. Try to use wire hangers. If items are to be sold as a set, make sure they are securely fastened together as we will not be responsible for lost items. With the garment facing you, the open side of the hook on the hanger should face left. There will not be any hangers available at set-up.
  1. Safety pin the tag to the upper right corner of the garment. The safety pin should go through the tag at the black dot, then through the garment. (Clothes tagged with straight pins or sticky tape will not be accepted.) Please do not use packing tape.
  1. Items that cannot go on hangers should be put in a zip-closure bag, with the tag taped to the inside, easily visible. Group similar items together if they are not worth $ .50 individually. (For example, socks, shoes, onesies, T-shirts, books, videos, etc.)
  1. Items too large for a zip-closure bag must have the tag securely attached in an easily visible place. Sticky tape or safety pins should be used wherever possible, as long as the tag can be removed without damaging the item or the tag.
  1. Tags need to be secured enough not to fall off as shoppers browse. Items with missing tags will not be sold.
