Preparing Items for Sale
Getting your items ready for sale is simple with a few key points. We cover everything in this video, and you can read in further detail below.
Supplies You Will Need
Hangers
Safety pins (NO straight pins please! OUCH!!)
Ziploc bags (Various sizes)
Clear packing tape
White or light colored card stock to print tags on your computer.
Barcodes do not scan on dark card stock, and regular paper tears easily and items cannot sell with lost tags. Light card stock can be purchased at WalMart, Sam’s, etc... or you can buy only the number of sheets you will need at the counter of your local office store. Tags print six to a page.
Labels
ALL items must have a label printed from our website. Fill out the simple form to create your tags.
All labels must be on white or light card stock.
All labels must contain consignor number, size (if applicable), description, if you want to discount item on 1/2 price day, and if you want to donate item if it does not sell.
All labels on clothes must be attached at the top center of the card.
Labels on all other items must be directly attached to the item. Securely fasten the label to the item with packing tape, ziptie, etc.
Items with loose pieces can be placed in a Zioloc bag. Please make sure that all the information on the tags is readable and that the barcode can be scanned. Please use packing tape to tape the bag closed to prevent enclosed items from being separated.
Hanging
Face all hangers to the left
Use safety pins to secure items to the TOP of hangers. No straight pins OUCH! Make sure items are securely fastened to hangers. Items that fall on the ground will not sell!
Pin pants or shorts to top of hanger. If two-piece set, place shirt over pants and pin both pieces!
Loose Items
All loose items must contain a price tag with the same format as the mentioned above.
Ziploc bags work well for packing small parts. For instance, onsies may be packaged together in one ziploc bag. If a toy has small parts, put the parts in the ziploc bag and securely fasten the bag to the item.
Please use packing tape to tape the bag closed to prevent enclosed items from being separated. We are not responsible for lost or damaged merchandise. (Imagine lots of children picking your item up, secure accordingly.)
Shoes
Shoes are great items to sell but need to adhere to these standards:
All shoes must be extremely clean and in like new condition.
All shoes must be seasonally appropriate.
Infant and toddler shoes should be attached with a zip tie or placed in a zip lock bag..
Larger shoes can have the laces tied together with a safety pin keeping them tied, or a plastic zip tie works very well.
Shoe pairs must have a tag securely fastened.
Toys, Equipment, and Furniture
All items must have a tag securely attached.
Any items that have multiple large pieces should only have one tag for the entire set. For example: a 5 piece table and chair set should only have one tag for the set. Please state what is included with the set in the description of the item.
Cribs and Car Seats
Cribs must have a visible date showing that it was manufactured after June 11, 2011 or have a Certificate of Compliance from the manufacturer CFR 1220 or 16 CFR 1219.
No carseats more than 7 years old will be accepted, unless it has an expiration date that has not passed.
No carseats that have been recalled for safety hazards or that have been involved in an accident shall be accepted. Please visit http://www.recalls.gov/cpsc.html for an up-to-date list of recalls.
