Preparing Your Items
You will price and tag all your own items using the online inventory system which can be accessed through your Consignor Homepage.
ITEM ENTRY DEADLINE
The deadline for entering your items online is MONDAY, MARCH 19TH at 8:00 PM. Any items that are not entered and submitted by this time will not be included in the spring sale.
COLLECT MATERIALS
• large safety pins & clothespins
• wire hangers (you can get these at cleaners) & pant hangers
• heavy white card stock paper 65 lb. or higher (Found at Wal-Mart or office supply store. Do not use designer or slick cardstock.)
• packaging tape
• zip ties or heavy string
• large ziplock bags
THE CLOSET:
Clothes: Limit 70 items
Jeans: Limit 8 pairs (of the 70 clothing items)
Shoes: Limit 10 pairs
Jewelry: Limit 20 pieces
1. Make sure clothing is clean and pressed.
2. Secure all buttons, snaps, and zippers.
3. Hang clothes on hangers with the hook facing left like a question mark.
4. Pin shirts, sweaters, and dresses to the hanger if there’s a chance it might get pulled off and end up on the floor during shopping. Do the tug test. If it falls off the hanger when tugged slightly, you need to pin it.
5. Pants and skirts must be hung on pant hangers with clasps or pinned to the hanger, but not folded over the hanger. We have found that hanging pants, shorts and skirts on pant hangers makes trying on and rehanging in the dressing room much easier. If you would like pant hangers, we have several boxes that we are happy to share with our consignors for use in the sale. We will be sending more information about where to pick these up in a consignor email.
6. Shoes may be brought in original boxes or secured with zip ties, string, clothespins, or safety pins. If shoes are brought in boxes and you attach the tag to the box, be sure it can be seen when the box is open and sitting on the shelf.
7. Belts and purses may be brought in without a hanger. No limits on accessories or purses.
8. Clothes that smell like cigarette smoke or have pet hair or stains will not be accepted.
9. Jewelry:
• Rings and Bracelets can be brought and displayed individually or grouped in a bag to be sold together.
• Earrings can be pushed through the top of the tag and taped on the back to secure.
• Do not cover the barcode with earrings or tape.
• Necklaces sell better when the tag is attached directly to the necklace and it can be hung to display.
• We only accept watches with working batteries.
THE ATTIC:
No limits on home décor and furniture.
1. Linens and curtains can be hung over a hanger and pinned or tied with heavy string.
2. Bedding can be displayed in the original bag or tied together with heavy string. (Just make sure none of the pieces of a bedding set can fall out.)
3. Please make sure decorative clocks have batteries and are working.
4. With home décor, if there are several pieces in a set, make sure you attach them together with tape, string, or put all pieces in a large clear ziplock bag.
5. Aprons should be pressed and pinned to a hanger, not folded over.
6. Placemat and napkin sets should have at least 4 to a set and be tied together with heavy string or pinned.
6. Handcrafted pieces created by consignors specifically to resell may be limited due to space. Because of the nature of our sale, we want to make sure we have plenty of shelf space primarily for our consignors’ individual items.
MORE THAN 3 PIECES OF FURNITURE
As a consignor, you set the prices for your items. However, if you bring more than 3 pieces of furniture we require that you email Summer a picture or description of the items, the prices you set, and whether you are going half off or not. Because we have limited space, we have to make sure things are priced to sell.
RETURNING ITEMS
Also, if you have had items in at least 2 prior sales and they have not sold, you must considerably reduce the price. Again, we want to help you make money and we are limited on space.
