Pricing & Tagging

Too busy to tag? Check out our Tagging Service

Guidelines

Sort clothing items by gender and size first. This makes item entry go very quickly.
In the Consignor Portal, click on “Manage Items” and then “Add” to being adding your inventory
You’ll be prompted to select a category as well as enter the size, price, brand, and a description. A detailed description will help us find this item if the tag becomes separated from it during the sale.
Also, check out Pricing Tips below to get more help with pricing.
Select the discount box if you want your item sold 50% off during the Discount Sale (which is typically the last day of sale)
Select the donate box if you want your item donated if it does not sell. All items marked for donation will automatically be discounted. Items marked "D" for donate will automatically participate in the stuff-a-bag charity event or will be given to a local nonprofit.
If you want your unsold items back, print tags on bright YELLOW cardstock . Pick up for any unsold items is typically held between 2:00-3:30 PM. Any items left after 3:30 PM will be donated.
Every item you wish to sell must have a unique barcode to be sold. Therefore every item must be entered into the system and every item must have its own unique tag.

Printing Tags

Tags MUST be printed on 60-65 lb. cardstock. DO NOT use regular paper. Tags will tear off with lightweight paper and your item will not be sold without the tag.
Print tags on WHITE cardstock for items you would like to donate if they do not sell (Unsold items you'd like to donate will also have a "D" in lower right corner on tag)
Print tags on bright YELLOW cardstock for unsold items you would like to pick up after the sale.
Make sure your barcodes are printed clearly. The scanner will not be able to read the barcode if it is faded or smudged. If your printer is running out of ink, we will not be able to scan your tag.
DO NOT make handwritten changes to your tags after they have been printed. If you need to change any information, please edit your tag in the online tagging system and reprint your tags.
Every item you wish to sell must have a tag to be sold.

How to Tag Items

NO CLOTHING IN ZIPLOCK BAGS (ONLY ACCESSORIES)

ALL CLOTHES MUST BE PLACED ON HANGERS BEFORE DROP OFF

ALL CLOTHING ITEMS MUST BE VERY GENTLY USED, CLEAN, & FREE OF STAINS

Any item hung on a hanger should have the hanger hook pointed to the left when looking at the front of the item. (The hook will look like the top of a question mark.)
Hang ALL clothing items on hangers. Pants, shorts, and skirts should be hung on hangers using large safety pins towards the middle of the waist to prevent slipping.
When possible, place safety pins at the seams of the items to prevent unnecessary holes. If using a tag gun, the tag should be placed in the item’s retail size tag. Please refrain from piercing anywhere that is not on a seam or retail tag as it often results in an obvious hole & the item will not sell.
Outfits should be arranged with the top in front and the pants/shorts/skirt hung on the back with safety pins. Attach matching socks, bows, etc. with safety pins or zip ties.
Hang nursing covers and baby carriers. Items sell better when hung and the buyer can see the item clearly.
Shoes need to be attached securely together. Please use zip ties to attach your shoes and tag together. Place infant booties or shoes in Ziploc bags, and tape the tag to the outside using clear packing tape.
For socks, newborn hats, tights, bibs, and other small items, place same-size items in Ziploc bags and attach your tag to the outside using clear packing tape.
For large items (strollers, high chairs etc.), tags must be attached using zip ties or clear packing tape. If your large item has small parts, all parts must be in a Ziploc bag and attached to the main part. Seal the bag with clear packing tape to prevent the bag from opening.
For large items with many parts that could get separated, only print one tag. Put that tag on the main part. On all other pieces, put a piece of masking tape on them with your Consignor Number and a number for each item included. (e.g. 1 of 4, 2 of 4, 3 of 4, etc.).
Secure puzzles and toys with multiple loose pieces with cellophane or in Ziploc bags. Only attach one tag to the outside of the item.
Use blue painters tape to secure tags to the back of books. Painters tape is less likely to tear the cover or jacket of a book. You can also sell multiple books together. Package the books in a Ziploc bag, or secure together with a rubberband.
Every item you wish to sell must have a tag to be sold. Attach your tags in a manner that they will stay attached to your item to ensure we can sell it.

Pricing Tips

When pricing your items always consider if you were the buyer. Would you be willing to buy this used item for the price you are asking? If you would not be willing to pay that much, you’ve priced your item too high. Remember, the better the deal, the more likely you are to sell your items.
