PREPARING YOUR ITEMS

  • Make sure all items are clean and free of rips, holes, etc.
  • Clothing is limited to 100 pieces, so bring your best.  No limit on shoes, scarves, jewelry, handbags and accessories.
  • Hang clothing with the hanger facing left like a question mark?
  • Secure all buttons and zippers
  • All bottoms must be hung by the waistband (pant hangers are preferred)
  • We will no longer accept pants attached to hanger with safety pins
  • Please tag in the manufacturer's label or in the left underarm seam
  • Handbags, belts, hats, mittens/gloves and scarves do not require hangers 


ENTERING YOUR ITEMS IN OUR SYSTEM

 Our Consignor software is very easy to use.  You must log in all of your items into your consignor account.


Below are the fields you will find when you enter your items online:

CONSIGNOR NUMBER: You will receive your Consignor Number when you first register.  You will select a password.  The system will automatically print your consignor number on all of your tags.

CATEGORY: Choose the category for your item. EXAMPLE: Tops- Long Sleeve, Dresses- casual, Shoes, Jewelry, etc.

SIZE: Please follow these guidelines when choosing a size for your items.  Size categories are:
CLOTHING:

Sizes 00-20 and XXS-XXL

For jeans/pants that use waist size:

23/24=00

25=0

26=2

27=4

28=6

29=8

30=10

31=12

32=14

33=16

34=18

NOTE: For teen sizes, please select the number closest to that size, Do not use uneven numbers (1, 3, 5, etc.)


If a size is a range, use the higher size. (Example: size 3/4 should be size 4).


If items do not have a size (handbags, jewelry, etc.), you should select “Leave Blank” from the drop down menu.


DESCRIPTION LINES 1 & 2: This should be a short, accurate description of your item so it can be identified quickly. We will be able to search this field when we have an item that is missing a tag and be able to credit the consignor at the time of purchase. Be sure to include the brand, color, fabric type and any distinctive feature (buckle, two tone, off the shoulder); bring selling points to the buyer’s attention (NWT, Never worn, etc.).  There is a 24 character limit for each line.

LINE 1 EXAMPLE: Banana Republic black velvet, BCBG sequin, etc.
LINE 2 EXAMPLE: black skinny leg, New with tags!, Reversible vest,
Retails for $50, Only worn once, etc.



Keep in mind that we will be using the Title & Description fields to help match up items missing tags to the correct consignor so they receive credit at the time the item is being sold. Make sure your Title & Description work together to help us accomplish that task should your item lose its tag.


PRICE: The minimum price for an item is $5.00. If needed, group smaller items together and sell as a $5.00 set.  Items must be priced in .50 increments (i.e. $5.50, $8.00, $10.50). Enter whole dollar amounts with two decimal places (i.e. 20.00; 5.00; 8.50, etc.).

DONATE: Check this box if you want to donate an item that has not sold by the end of the sale.

DISCOUNT: Check this box if you want your item included in our half-price sale, which takes place on Sunday.


  • Tag will include your consignor #, item #, item description, category, size, price and discount and/or donate.
  • You price your own items using our Pricing Guide
  • You select if you want your items to be discounted to 50% off on Sunday (recommended)
  • You select if you want to take back your unsold items at the end of the event or donate them
  • If you have chosen not to donate your unsold items, you must pick them up on Sunday evening.  No exceptions.

PRINT YOUR TAGS

Your tags will be set up to print on 8.5 x 11 paper.  We recommend cardstock paper which creates sturdier tags.



ATTACH TAGS TO YOUR ITEMS

 

CLOTHING TAG PLACEMENT: Tags for clothing and other similar items should be attached to the garment label using a tagging gun or safety pin.  If no garment label, tag through the left underarm seam of a garment to avoid damage.

SAFETY PINS: Safety pins should be at least 1 inch long (Do not use straight pins).
Punch a hole on either side of the phrase “pin here” which will appear at the top of your tag. Don’t punch holes too close to the top of the tag otherwise the tag will tear away from the safety pin and item too easily.

TAGGING GUNS: Tagging guns can be used to attach tags to clothing instead of safety pins. Tags can be attached to the inside “tag” on a garment (at the neck) or through the seam of a garment to avoid damage.  The seam of the left armpit area usually works well. Tagging guns and supplies can be purchased online from sites such as eBay or Amazon.  You should expect to pay between $12-$20 for a decent tagging gun.

HANGING ITEMS: All items must be hung so that the clothing hanger is facing left so that it resembles a question mark (?). This way our shopper will see the front of your garment and not the back of it when shopping.

SHOES: Attach tags and keep shoes together using “zip” ties, ribbon or string. For shoes that cannot be ziptied, such as ballet flats or clogs, use a rubber band to hold the shoes together with the soles facing each other.

HANDBAGS: Use a ribbon or ziptie to attach the tag to the handle or strap.

Pricing Guidelines

Pricing your items

A good rule of thumb is to price your items at 25-35% of what you paid for each item depending on the brand name and condition of the item.


  • Price to sell!
  • Ask yourself, "What would I pay for this at a consignment sale?"
  • Consider discounting your items during our half-price sale.  You don't want to take it home!
