ALL ITEMS WILL BE BAR CODED. DO NOT HANDWRITE ANY TAGS. Please review this site carefully and read the FAQ page thoroughly! Printing Tags: You must use white standard cardstock to print your tags. No plain paper tags accepted! Print fully bar-coded, easy to read tags on your home computer, at your convenience Print all your tags at once, or just a select group of tags. You can re-print tags anytime
Here are some tips to help ensure you print your tags in such a way that the barcode will scan easily:
Attach your tag to the garment with a safety pin as indicated in the tag example for clothing. You will use packing tape for other items as indicated below. So, you will:
CLOTHING: We accept Spring/Summer clothing at the Spring Sale and Fall/Winter clothing at the Fall Sale. Please see FAQ's if you have questions. The better your item looks, the better it will sell. Please rewash any items you have had in storage and press anything that needs it. Check your clothing items for spots under a fluorescent light and in direct sunlight. We have fluorescent lighting in the store and it picks up all spots. Remember to check all hems, seams, buttons and zippers. Sometimes it is difficult to see imperfections in your own clothes. Work with a friend and check each other’s items! *** Before bringing your items to Receiving, your clothing items must be separated by sex/size. Separate the boys from the girls clothes, then separate them by size. It is easier to do this before you enter your items, but since you are printing tags at home, you can do it after tagging if needed *** For example: all your size 6 girl clothes must be together, sz 8 girl clothes, boys size 2T. After entering all items, tie each sex/size off separately. Tie them with twist ties or string. This will dramatically reduce the time you spend at Receiving. **Items will not be accepted unless HANGERS: Use WIRE hangers, with the hanger’s open side facing left (see example). NO plastic or plastic coated wire hangers! (White or blue painted hangers from the drycleaners are OK, but if you can take a utility knife and scrape plastic off, they are NOT allowed)
Yes they will. The juvenile hangers work well for the smallest infant clothes (Preemies, 0-3 mos). Sizes other than that will fit on a regular hanger. Take the hanger up through the bottom of the garment and put in one sleeve at a time. The item will look nicer on the hanger and the nicer it looks the better it will sell. Also, if you are using uniform service hangers, the pant hangers are the same as juvenile sized hangers. If you feel your garment will not fit on the hanger, you may pin the item to the top bar of the hanger at the shoulder of the garment (1 pin in each shoulder). Pants/skirts: Using a safety pin for each side, pin pants/skirt at the top of waistband to the top bar of the hanger. Place the safety pins close enough together so the garment will not slide down to the bottom bar of the hanger. Your item will look neater and sell better. For 2-piece outfits: place shirt on hanger then safety pin pants/skirt to back of the shirt at the shoulders with the safety pin going around hanger bar for support. Do not hang the second item under the first (like folding it over the bar of the hanger). Customers will either not see it, or they will take it off to look at it and it will end up on the floor. If items are prepared as described above, your sets will stay together and there will be no opportunity for customers to separate your items.
Onesies: It is best to sell a few together. Hang the first one then take 1 or 2 more and pin them to the back of the first one. Use a safety pin through the shoulders. One pin on each side. Pin them to the top bar of the hanger for support. Shoes: LIMIT OF 6 OF YOUR BEST SHOES
Bedding: If you have the original package, you may use it. Otherwise, fold sheets over a hanger and pin (so they don’t slide off). Fold bumper pads into thirds and fold over hanger. If you are selling a set, tag each item as "bedding set, 1 of 5", "2 of 5", etc so we know how many pieces you have together. When we check you in at Receiving, we can help you figure it out. You will only need one tag for the entire set. Fold receiving blanket over hangers as well. Bibs, bottles and rattles: Don’t mix them, but use zip lock bags to package several of same type of items together. Tape your tag inside of the bag using clear packing tape. Face the tag outward so shoppers can see it and we can scan it. Toys: Use clear packing tape or safety pins to attach the tag (same size as for clothing) to the item. Use zip lock bags for smaller pieces that go with large toys. Secure your bag very well with packing tape. Place your consignor ID# on a piece of masking tape and place it on all bags and on the bottom of all toys. Include batteries, if required, for the toy to work. · To replace a missing part of a toy or piece of baby equipment, call the company (phone # is sometimes printed somewhere on the item) or check out their website. This always helps an older item look new again! Here is a list of some of the 800 numbers and website for ordering parts:
http://www.fisher-price.com/us/powerwheels Strollers, high chairs, cribs, exersaucers, etc.: Use clear packing tape or safety pins to attach the tag (same size as for clothing) to the item. Be sure all items are very clean, check the straps too. Most items have removable covers and straps that can be scrubbed in the bathtub or washing machine. Write your consignor ID# on a piece of masking tape and place it on the bottom of all your pieces. In case your tag would come off, we would be able to identify you as the owner and look up the price. Car Seats: Car seats/booster seats must have been manufactured in the last 5 years, not been subject to recall and never have been in an accident. For Liability reasons, consignors will be asked to sign a "good faith" statement attesting to this. All seat covers must have been washed and all straps and other areas cleaned. Safety pin your tag onto the cloth cover. Write your consignor ID# on a piece of masking tape and place it on the bottom of all your pieces. Books: Sets may be placed in ziploc bags. If selling several books together (that aren’t an official set) please group according to reading level. After applying your barcode at Receiving, you may tape your tag to the inside of the bag and then tape your bag shut. If selling single books, you may tape your tag to the inside back cover with clear packing tape. We don’t remove the tape at checkout; we only score it enough to remove the tag. Be sure your books are clean and in like-new condition. All coloring and activity books must never have been written in! Videos/DVD's: Please rewind and double-check your videos to make sure they are in working order. Also, be sure the correct movie is placed in the corresponding box/case. Tape your tag to the box using clear packing tape. Do NOT tape the box shut. After we check your videos, you can tape them shut at Receiving. As with books, if it is necessary to remove the tag at checkout, we lightly score the tape and remove the tag. Puzzles and games: For board puzzles, wrap plastic-wrap tightly around the puzzle to keep the pieces from falling out then tape your tag to the outside. For boxed puzzles, please count your pieces, but DO NOT tape your box shut. Check your game pieces and make sure all are accounted for. Please DO NOT tape your game boxes shut. Tape your tag to the top of the box. We will tape them shut after checking them in. Please be considerate and don’t bring anything that is incomplete. Stuffed Animals/Characters: Limit of 5 of your BEST stuffed animals or characters. The only stuffed animals that sell well are the most popular movie/cartoon characters. Please limit your selections to these. Please be sure they are clean. Check the tag, but most can be placed in a pillowcase and washed in your washing machine. This limit does not include popular characters that are battery operated. Use a safety pin to attach your tag. Batteries Required: If a customer tries a toy, baby monitor or other accessory, and it doesn’t work, they won’t buy it. They don’t want to take a chance that the item is actually broken. We require you to have batteries in place when you bring your items to receiving so you can demonstrate that your item is in good working order. If you are placing brand new batteries in the item, write at the top of your tag "New batteries included" and reflect the cost of the batteries in your price. Misc: If you have trouble packaging a bulky or unusual item, we will help you with it when you come to Receiving. We will accept opened computer software & games!
