  • Optional- You may now use a tagging gun to secure your index card to your clothing item.  If tagging gun is used you must secure the tag under the left arm seam or at the left side of the waistband.

If your item has more than one part, please list the # of pieces on the "description" portion of the tag.  DO NOT USE MORE THAN 1 CARD for items with multiple pieces.

To make sure you get paid for each sold item only write on 1 side of the card.  (Please do not use the back side of a card from another sale.)

*Sort - You must have your clothes grouped by size and gender before drop off.

Hanging - Clothing must be hung on wire or heavy duty plastic hangers.  We recommend wire hangers as plastic ones break and items end up on the floor.  The hanger hook should face the left (like a question mark) with the tag pinned to right side of garment as you face it.  See illustration below:

Cards - Only 3 x 5 index cards VERTICALLY (whole card, not cut).  Leave at least 1 1/2 inches between the safety pin and where the writing begins so we may tear the tag during check out rather than unpinning the tag.

 

USE ONLY 1 TAG PER ITEM  

 

If item has multiple parts, list all pieces under "description".

 

* *PIN the Tag with 1 inch or larger safety pin.  Safety Pin must be pinned horizontally across tag. (No straight pins allowed).  THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KEEP TAGS FROM BECOMING SEPARATED FROM CLOTHING.

  PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

   Any unsold item you wish to pick up on Sunday MUST have a Red R (for return) in the top left corner of the index card.    ONLY unsold items with a Red R in the top left corner of the card will be returned to the consignor.  Any unsold item without a Red R will be donated immediately following the half price sale.

Fill out the card following the illustration below:

Red R - ONLY items with a Red R (for return) will be returned to consignor. 

Consignor # -  1/3 way down card on the left.  Make sure you have your correct # on each card.

Size - 1/3 way down card on right.  Must be a number size (not small, medium, etc.)

Description -  Center of card.  Give a short description of the item.  BE SPECIFIC!  Example: Write "Girls Gap Blue Dress" instead of "dress".  or "UNO" instead of "Game".  For unisex items write "boy" or "girl" so item will be placed where  you prefer.

Price Top right corner of card. Minimum Price is $1.   Use 0.50¢ or $1 increments (not .40 or .99)

   You set the price on all items, so price to sell. 

Barcodes are required on each tag.  The Barcode will be placed on bottom right of card.  (Consignor # and price will be on the printed barcode.  Barcodes with No Disc will remain Full Price on Saturday).  Do NOT place a barcode directly on an item.

Sets -Pin the waist of the pants, shorts  or skirt to the back of the shirt with pin going  through the top of the hanger.

Shoes -Must be in Perfect condition.  They must be clean, have shoelaces, etc. Place shoes in a size appropriate Ziploc bag.  You must seal the top of the bag with sturdy packing tape.  Attach the index card to the OUTSIDE of the bag by taping the top portion of the card with clear packing tape.  DO NOT PLACE YOUR INDEX CARD INSIDE THE BAG!

Toys, Furniture, and Equipment -Must be clean, have all the parts and be in working order.  If batteries are required, Please install in the item.  Small parts should be in a sealed (with packing tape) clear bag and attached to the main part of the item with a safety pin or packing tape.  Large items such as cribs, pack n plays, large Little Tykes toys, etc. MUST be assembled.

Loose Articles  - Place small loose pieces in a ziploc baggie, secure and seal the top of the bag with extra strong packing tape so that children can not open and remove pieces!

Hard to Tag Items - Please use packing tape because scotch tape will not hold and your cards may become lost if not securely attached.

Optional:  An extra security measure to keep tag attached to garment is to place a small piece of scotch tape over the safety pin where the pin is attached to the index card.

     Due to the many items being sold we recommend that you price competitively.  We suggest about 1/3 of the original price, depending on the name brand and condition of item.

 Spending a little "extra" time getting your items ready will mean more Money for you.  Items that are Clean, Ironed, and Starched sell much better!  Present them at their best for the most $$$ for you!  

   To maintain the high standards we have set and quality of items available for purchase, we will be inspecting each item on drop off.  We ask that you only bring items of the quality and condition that you would be willing to purchase yourself.   Items that are torn, soiled, outdated or have missing parts will not be accepted.

    Due to the high demand for consignor numbers you must reserve your consignor number to assure your continued use of a number used in a previous sale.  

Consignor Registration will be open thru Thursday, July 22, 2010.
