Sale Guidelines

Preparing Items

We commit to the highest quality standard of our consignor’s items.  We will inspect each items to ensure it is in compliance with our preparation instructions. Any items that do not meet our standards will be returned to the consignor.

We gain our shopper’s loyalty through the quality of our items.  Prepare to appeal to the eye of a shopper. Always remember, it is all about presentation.

Our goal is to sell the most amount of your inventory as possible so we offer 50% off on the last sale date to the public.  As a consignor you have the option to lower your price on all or most of your items, or you can donate the items that do not sell. All items marked for donation will automatically be discounted on the last day.  All donations will be given to charity. 

Note: Please be sure to schedule more than one drop-off shift if you have more than 300 items consigned. This will expedite the inspection and organization of all items during drop-off.  Emails about preparing items and reminders will be sent throughout the event so please check your emails and don’t miss out!

Tagging Supplies

1. Your choice of either Tagging Gun or  Safety Pins (medium to large pins). We recommend using a tagging gun as it will save you money.  Most of our consignors get their tagging gun from Amaozon. Suggested tagging gun Amram Confort Grip
2. White Cardstock (65 lb thickness ) to print tags. Suggesed to get at WalMart.
3. Hangers – must have identifier if you want them back. (colored masking tape or ribbon)
4. Ziploc bags for small toys/Saran wraps for puzzles/bigger toys with pieces
5. Colored tape/ribbon- to mark hangers
6. Zip ties
7. Lysol or non-bleach Clorox wipes
8. Bin/Basket -a storage bin/basket will be left on site to sort and put any unsold items in for pick up.(Please make sure your consignor number is on your bin. Be sure to leavee bin only, no lids)

Clothing:
  • Ensure that all clothing is freshly cleaned.  Inspect for missing buttons, holes, noticeable fading of color, or shirt logos.  Clothing that has an unpleasant odor will not be accepted.
  • Take some time to iron wrinkly clothing if necessary. It raises the market value of your item.
  • Group your clothing in sizes and gender. This will speed up the drop-off process. If your clothing is not grouped by size and gender we will ask you to size and separate them before we take them in.
  • Make sure the hanger’s hook is facing left when hanging clothes.  It should look like a question mark (?)
  • For two-piece outfits using the hanger, the shirt should be in the front and pants can be connected to the shirt using a tagging gun/clips or safety pin( Do not pin the bottoms to the shirt) .
  • Individual Jeans/Pants required to be hanged as well. They will be placed on racks. Ensure pants are pinned correctly. Avoid pinning them at the bottom of the hanger as they come off easly.
  • Please be cautious using the tagging gun. When tagging your items please tag through the tag or the corner seam of the clothing to prevent holes.
Item description in your bar-coded tag should include:
  • BRAND name is eye-catching so make sure you include that – buyers love this!
  • Numeric size (NB, 0-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12, 12-18, 18-24, 2t, 3t, 4t, 5t, 6, etc.). If your clothing have size S,M, or L please add the numeric number.
  • Number of pieces ( e.g. 2- piece, 3- piece set)
  • If the item is new add that piece of information – buyers like to know if the item has never been used.
  • You have an option to DONATE unsold items. You can indicate this during tagging.
  • All items marked as donate on the last day will be automatically 50% off.
  • You have an option to mark your items 50% on the last day of the sale so it will help them sell sooner.

Reason: If at any point durning the sale your tag comes off a toy or clothing we can look at the description and find your item.

Toys, Strollers and big items…
  • Make sure you disinfect everything. (You can either use Lysol or Clorox non-bleach wipes). Items are worth more and sell faster when everything is clean.  Ensure at the time of arrival all toys are dry and ready for display.
  • ALL toys must have working batteries.
  • Use clear masking tape to attach the bar-coded tag. Make sure that you DO NOT put tape over the barcode area as the scanner will not be able to read it.
  • If the toys have several pieces place them in a Ziploc bag and seal with clear tape.   Puzzles can be secured using saran wrap. 
  • Check toys to ensure they have not been recalled and included in the list of lead paint hazard by going to http://www.cpsc.gov.  Any toys that are chipping, and or missing pieces will be rejected.
SHOES:

Use zip ties to secure shoes if possible. If there is no way to use a zip tie place shoes in a Ziploc bag if they fit. secure the bag and tape the bar-coded tag at the bottom of the shoe, make sure that you do not tape over the bar-code area.
