We STRONGLY recommend that you use online tagging. It is the fastest, easiest way to tag and it also keeps an inventory for you! To use online tagging you must register for the event on our NEW CONSIGNOR TAB, if already a past consignor just click on the Consignor Homepage tab. You must print your tags in COLOR on WHITE cardstock..

 

WHY? The reason for this is that the computer tags have a RED dot if it is not discounted. The dot needs to be RED! Our shoppers look for the absence of RED dots on discount days. Your items will be sold at a discount even if your dot is black due to printing in black and white. If this is the only way you can print, color over your dot with a red sharpie. You must use WHITE cardstock because regular paper tears too easily.


When you select donate in the tagging system, you will have a letter "D" in the front left hand corner of tag to represent item is set for donation.

Handwritten Tags 

 

See example below.


Use only 3x5 white index cards. 

 

The consignor number goes in the upper left corner.

 

Size in the center, about an inch from the top, with price underneath. Circle the price in RED if you DO NOT want your item to be discounted on discount day(s). We recommend discounting...it's better than taking it back home with you!

 

The item description goes in the center below the price. Describe it well! This helps us in the event of lost tags. "Book" or "Pants" as the description will not help us find your item if the tag comes off.

 

Put a "D" in Bottom Left Hand Corner


DO NOT HIGHLIGHT: WE ARE NO LONGER REQUIRING HIGHLIGHTING THE TAGS (If already highlighted, do not make any changes, we will still accept).

 

The example below is of a handwritten tag that is NOT discounted and NOT donated.

 

 

   "No Donated"                       "Donated"  

(Make sure and read the Important Tagging Details box at the bottom of the page)

Clothing and Shoes

On garments, attach the tag with a safety pin or tagging gun near the upper right side of the garment by pinning in the seam or attach your tag to the manufacturers tag. 

All clothing items should be hung with the hook facing left, like a question mark. Please use safety pins to hang pants to the upper sloped bar of the hanger rather than folding them over the hanger. Please do not use clothes pins. Pin the tag 1 inch from the OUTER SEAM so item does not shift when it is on the hanger.

If in doubt  about how secure your garment is on the hanger give it the TUGG test! You want a Tested and U won't fall to the Ground Garment! Trust me, clothespins do not pass the TUGG test! We can't sell you garment if it is 1) on the floor and 2) dirty from falling off its hanger on the floor.

 

If you use a Tagging Gun, please attach your tags to the manufacturer's tag or preferably, into a seam. These are great time-savers but can leave a hole if punched through fabric.

 

Ziploc bags are are required shoes. Place the card on the inside of the Ziploc bag, preferably taped to the bag. Securely fasten shoes together (especially if they do not fit in a Ziploc bag) - the best way is to use zip-ties through laces, loops or buckles, since zip-ties cannot be removed without cutting. Even if your shoes fit in a Ziploc bag, it is required to use zip-ties, in case shoes get taken out of the bag. LIMITED TO 10 (TEN) "LIKE NEW" CHILDREN & TEEN STYLES (NO WOMEN SHOES, NO MEN SHOES)

 

Shirts: Shirt Pants: Pants  Please do not hang like this:

Notice that the pants are attached to the top bars of the hanger, not the bottom. Pants need to be attached to hangers with appropriate sized safety pins. 

IMPORTANT: For additional security, place masking tape with your consignor number & price on the bottom of each shoe and the inside of your garments near the manufacturer's tag.. This helps identify your item in case the card is lost or the shoes get separated. Please DO NOT put duplicate tags on an item ESPECIALLY do not place two tags with prices on your item!

 Tagging Other Items

Toys, books, videos & small items can be placed in Ziploc bags. The bag's contents should be thoroughly described on the card.

On large items, simply USE CLEAR tape to adhere the tag to the item for easy viewing and removal. If the item includes extra parts, please make note of them in the item's description on the tag. Place the extra pieces in a Ziploc bag and tape them securely. It is also a good idea to place a piece of packing tape over the zipper part of the bag so they cannot be opened by "little hands".

IMPORTANT: Place masking tape with your consignor number & price on the bottom or underneath side of each large item. This helps identify your item in case the card is lost, Please DO NOT put duplicate tags on an item.

Important Tagging Details 

  • Minimum item price of $.50.  Price in .50 cent increments.
  • Remember to place masking tape with your consignor number and price on the bottom of each large item and on the bottom of each shoe. This helps identify your item in case the card is lost. But please DO NOT put a duplicate tag on an item.

  • Competitively price your items. PRICE TO SELL! What would you pay? Normally 25-30% of retail is a good general figure to go by when pricing your items. We'd rather give you a bigger check than a lot of unsold items!
  • Consider allowing your items to sell at a discount on the last day. 50% is better than nothing especially if you are donating your unsold items.
  • You may no longer come into the sale and change prices after the sale begins. We have allowed this in the past but cannot any longer. There is no way for our cashiers to determine if the consignor changed the price or a dishonest shopper.  Be sure of your prices before dropping off your items.
  • Please, please, please use appropriate size hangers. Many of the current fashions for older kids and juniors have scoop necks and they need to be pinned to the hanger through to clothing seams. We cannot sell your items if they slip off the hanger and are on the floor.
  • Please print new online tags if your tags are the older ones that have the Discount: yes or no rather than the red dot (for no discount). Tags without red will be discounted!
  •   Please print new tags if you have edited the price. It will not reflect the new price when scanned at checkout without a new tag.
    •

    Tagging Other Items

    •  Toys & small items can be placed in Ziploc bags. The bag's contents should be thoroughly described on the card.
    • Please make sure that all toys have "new" batteries & no signs of corrosion can be seen in the battery compartment
    • Please make sure all toys have all of their pieces & parts accounted for and are in "good" working order.
    Think about it, would you want your child to buy a gently used toy that does not work?  Neither would we, so please make sure they are in perfect functioning order before you consign them.
