Hanging Items

We want your items to sell!  Clean and press if needed.  Hang neatly.  Pin items well so they do not fall of the hanger.  Pin securely to prevent damage to your item or an adjacent item on the rack.  The better your items are presented, the more likely they will sell – and sell for top dollar!

Follow these easy steps:

  • Place clothing on hangers with the hook turned left, like a question mark (see diagram 1.a below).
  • Pants, shorts & skirts should be secured on the top (angled) part of the hangers using medium to large safety pins.  NO STRAIGHT PINS OR TINY GOLD SAFETY PINS ALLOWED.
  • Please give every item the TUGG test.  [Tested and (U won’t fall to the Ground) Garment].  If it comes off the hanger, add more safety pins!  Items do not sell if they have fallen under the racks or if they lose their tag. When in doubt use more PINS.
  • 2 piece outfits:  It is best to safety pin the pants over the back of the shirt, and onto the hanger – please do not hang the pants inside the shirt. Pinning to the back allows shoppers to see your outfit more thoroughly. METAL HANGERS ONLY PLEASE- NO plastic or plastic coated! A good resource for metal hangers is your local dry cleaners. Make sure clothing is clean and pressed if necessary.

Tagging Items

Tagging your items has never been easier!  Simply use the website to login as a consignor and product your unique, barcoded tags.  Enter the basic information about your items, print on cardstock, attach tags to each item.  It’s that easy!

  • Use the website to login and produce your unique barcode tags. Print the tags on white cardstock.  The cardstock will help keep tags from ripping off during the sale. Place the barcode tag on the upper right side of the garment using a safety pin.  Please position the pin horizontally at the top of the tag – making sure the pin goes in and back out through the tag.  Again, this helps secure the tag to prevent tags from easily being torn from your item.  The on-line tagging system ensures that your tags have ALL the information needed, including your consignor #, size, price, description, unique barcode, if your item can be discounted during the ½ price sale, and whether you would like to donate your item at the end of the sale. Your tags can be printed from your home computer at your convenience!  Securing your tags will help sell your items. Please understand if anything loses a tag we cannot sell it.  You may consider writing your consignor number on a piece of masking tape or sticky label and placing it inside your clothing items, on the bottom of toys, etc.  This can help us identify who an item belongs to if it becomes separated from your tag.

The format below must be followed carefully!!!!

 

Pricing your Stuff

  • A general guideline for pricing your items is 30-40% of what you originally paid. The condition of the item will raise or lower that figure.
  • Use only whole dollar increments (this means NO ITEMS under $1.00).

Tagging your Shoes:

  • SHOES MUST BE SUPER CLEAN!
  • We will accept of your very best shoes.  NO scuffs and worn out tennis shoes!
  • Shoes must be appropriate to the season
  • Tie laces together and place a safety pin thrugh them to secure tightly.  On shoes without laces use the appropriate size zip-loc to keep them together.  Another option is to use zip ties to hold shoes together.  Our goal is to keep pairs together with its tag.  Please use your best judgment to help make this possible.

Preparing Books, Videos, CD’s, DVD’s and Large Equipment & Furniture:

  • Place your Priced Tag in a sandwich bag.
  • Tape the sandwich bag securely to each item leaving the zipper part of the bag untaped.  This will make it easy to slip the card out at check-out.  Use clear packaging tape only!  This process will protect your card from being ripped or damaged by tape or others.
  • Stuff having loose pieces should be placed in a zip-loc bag then attached to the item as securely as possible.

Conditions & Limitations:

  • Please inspect your items closely before bringing them to the sell.  Ask yourself if you would you buy this item again?  Keep in mind that we reserve the right to refuse any item that does not meet our standards.
  • Make sure toys, game consoles, etc. are super clean and in working condition.

Planning to pick-up your unsold items?

Please make sure when entering your tagging information on-line that you correctly indicate whether you wish to donate your unsold items or pick them up.
