Consign

Why should I consign?

Raising a child is expensive and they grow very quickly out of everything, leaving their dressers, closets and your home cluttered! With consigning you can clean out items you no longer need and put money back into your piggy bank all at the same time.

With many shoppers at our event you will be able to sell many items. Now is a great time to clean out your stuffed closets of items your children no longer need and make money quickly and easily. Our average consignor makes $420 at a sale.

Clothing

Please use wire hangers because they require less space and are easier to safetypin clothing to. Hangers must face in the question mark position. We recommend using a tagging gun to attach the label to the clothing, however a safety pin may be used as well. Attach the printed barcode label in the seam on the left side of the clothing either under the armpit or at the waist for pants. If you use a safety pin attached the label on the left breast pocket area or on the left pant pocket. Make sure the label is visible. SEE PICTURES AND DO NOT USE STRAIGHT PINS. For added security and to help keep items together, safety pin each item to the hanger. If there are matching accessories, place them in a ziplock bag and secure with a safety pin or zip tie.

Shoes

The best way to secure shoes together is to zip tie them. If the shoes are small and are not capable of being zip tied, place them in a clear plastic bag and secure the bag with packing tape. Zip tie or safety pin the barcode label to the shoes or if a bag is used tape the label to the outside of the bag. Be sure not to place tape over the barcode or it will not scan at the register.

Larger items

Large items must be assembled during drop-off. Secure the label with packing tape. Do not place the tape over the barcode.

Games and Books

Computer games are required to be in their original cases. Secure the label to the back with packing tape. If you are selling a bundle, either secure with packing tape of place inside of a ziplock bag and tape the bag closed. Books are to be free of torn pages, writing or missing pages. Tape the barcode label to the back of the book or seal multiple books inside of clear ziplock bags. Please leave computer games and games unsealed until after inspection.

Etc.

Keep all items together with ziplock bags. Seal all bags with packing tape and tape the barcode label to the outside of the package. If a zip tie cannot be used, use the clear packing tape to adhere your label. Tags can come off and securing your items and labels will pay off.

ENTERING ITEMS AND PRINTING BARCODE LABELS

With the help of My Sale Manager.net we are able to use a barcode label system at the sale. These barcodes are able to help keep track of inventory and allow you to see what items have sold each day. Once you have registered you will be able to log in and enter your items into your inventory log.

While not necessary, it is easier if you sort your items into categories prior to entering the system. Sort clothing by gender and size and sort toys, equipment, shoes, etc. The system is user friendly and will prompt you through the process. It is also beneficial to enter your items several at a time over the course of a few days.

Setting a price

There is a $3.00 minimum price and we use 50 cent increments for the sale. A good guideline is to ask a quarter to a third of the original price. Some more popular items may sell for 50% of their original price. Keep in mind there will be duplicate items from other consignors and those that appear cleaner will sell faster. It can be helpful to state the manufacturers suggested (MSRP) retail price in the description. Click here for a pricing guideline from ConsignmentMommies.com

Description lines

Being descriptive will help your items sell and will aid in finding an item should the tag come detached.

Discounted day and items

The last day of the sale most of the items will be discounted 50%. There is a box you can check if you would like to sell your item at a discounted price. Should you check the donate box your item will be automatically discounted if it does not sell. We will be working with Coachella Valley Foster Kids.

Printing your barcode labels

Use only white cardstock paper to print the barcode labels. Labels printed on regular printer paper will be declined. Once all of your items are entered you may print your labels. Six labels will print to a page. If you have not marked the item to be discounted, use a unique stamp to help identify your label. This will aid in sorting items at the end of the sale.

You will need to turn off your popup blocker to print your labels.
