Tagging Supplies

Tagging Supplies & Guidelines:

· Wire or coated plastic hangers (no flimsy hangers)

· White Cardstock (no copy paper – your tag will get ripped off)

· Safety Pins at least 1" (please no straight pins!)

· Packing Tape for items other than clothing

· Large Ziploc-type bags for shoes and other smaller items like crib sheets

Place garments on hangers with the hook facing to the left (so it looks like a question mark). Be sure to keep sets together – you will get more money for your items that are in a set. When hanging a set (pants/shirt) attach shirt to the hanger and then hang pants on the back, not under the shirt. This will help the buyer look over the clothes and know what they are buying. Please see photos for examples:

Please group items together so they will have a value of at least $2. All pants should be pinned to a hanger – not folded over. Do not jam a hanger into them – they will look terrible and it will ruin the pants. The 2" safety pins work best for pinning pants. See photos above:

Toys and other large items should have packing tape securing the tag across the top of the tag. Please do not put tape over the barcode. Items containing small parts may be placed in a Ziploc bag and attached to the item.

If your item has more than one piece attach a handwritten tag with your consignor # & a description, and attach the bar-coded tag on the largest piece. On the bar-coded tag – put how many pieces there are with the item (ex. 1 of 3). Do not attach a bar-coded tag to each piece – it gets very confusing.

Furniture

Bassinets, changing tables, and playpens should be assembled so the buyer can see what they are buying.

Bedding

Packaging a bedding set together sells best. If you have the original packaging – it is even better because the buyer can fully see how the bedding will look in their room. The new largest Ziploc bags are great for this if you do not have comforter packaging. We ask that the bedding be placed in a bag (if possible) so it does not get dirty or separated.

Infant Items

Diaper bags sell well – they should be placed on a hanger. Rattles, bows, socks, and bibs should be placed in Ziploc bags and sealed with packing tape. We will also accept bouncer seats, exersaucers, walkers, and other gently used items.

Diaper Pails/Potties

We will be accepting CLEAN diaper pails and potty training items. Please wash them with a bleach solution. We will not accept dirty items. On that note, we will not be accepting used underwear – it must be new and in the original packaging.

Sporting gear

During the Spring/Summer sale we accept the following: baseball bats, gloves, cleats, swimming gear, and soccer gear are also accepted. As with all shoes, cleats and other sporting shoes should be in good condition and clean. We also accept dance and gymnastics apparel.

Socks, Bibs, and Other Small

Small items should be grouped together with other similar items. For example, put about 5-8 pair of size 2T-3T socks together and price them together with one tag.

Shoes

Please only bring your gently used shoes. Shoes should be attached together by string, zip-ties, whatever it takes to keep them from getting separated. Dance shoes and cleats always sell fast.
