**To ensure that you get paid it is necessary that you seller number is on EVERY tag and ALL seller numbers are HIGHLIGHTED. 

1.  We will accept only FALL and WINTER items at this sale. We will only accept short sleeves IF there is space. Please keep in mind this is a FALL and WINTER sale.

The hanger should curve to the left and your tag safety pinned (no straight pins please) to the right side lapel. Shoes must be fastened together and tagged or place them in ziplock bags and clear tape your tag to the bag (we will not accept badly worn shoes).  LIMIT of 5 pair of shoes

3.  You may make copies of the tag sheet from website page (write your seller # on the sheet before you make copies). 

4.  When you place a description of your item, be specific as to name brand. There will be a lot of the same item and size. The description will help us find your item if the tag falls off.

5.  Small items such as belts, hair bows or socks need to be in ziplock bags with the tags placed inside and the bag taped shut. Or tape tag to outside so it won’t fall off.

6.  Please make sure your seller number is on each tag and put the size of the item. Not small, medium, large. If the item is a slim, please note that with the size.

7.  We accept all tags from different sales. Highlight your seller number so it is easier for us to find when sorting.

8.  If your item is NOT to go ½ price on Saturday, clip the top right hand corner of your tag off. We do not go by the yes or no on a tag. All whole tags will go ½ price.

9.  We do not require an inventory sheet. If you are interested in keeping track of the selling price of your items, keep a list of the item and its price. 

10.  Sort all clothing items by size and gender and rubber band together.

11.  Please tape all tags to toys and make sure they do not fall off. Kids will be pulling at the tags and if an item has no tag we can not sell it.

Pricing

Don’t forget the beauty of the consignment sale is you name the price of your goods. 

1-Price clothing for a quick sale.

Rule of thumb is:

1/3 “new” price if it is in good condition

1/4 “new” price if it is in fair condition.

2-Price items so that they are divisible by 2 for half price Saturday.  If you do NOT want your items sold at half price clip the tag in the right hand corner.
