How Do I Prepare My Items?

You will need SAFETY PINS, CHILDREN'S HANGERS, A MARKER, MULTIPLE COPIES OF SALE TAGS, CLEAN PACKING TAPE & GALLON ZIP LOC BAGS


Pull all of your items together and get ready to have some fun with 4 easy steps!


1. Clean and press all garmets. Check for stains, rips, tears and broken parts. Items that look their best, sell the best! Put all of these into piles, fronts facing upward.


2. Put clothing on a hanger facing left (hook should look like a question mark.) Put shoes into gallon bags, tape edges of games, group small items into baggies, clean large items.


3. Using preprinted tags, keep items in piles and price all items at once. Use competitive prices. You know what an item is worth - think 30% of original price if item is in excellent condition; 25% if item has been gently used. Place price in center of tag. Don't forget to mark with your seller number and the "R" mark to determine if you'd like your item reduced on Sat. at 12. Keep these tags in the same order as all of your items.


4. Using safety pin (please no straight pins), pin tag on right - front of item. Place tag inside baggie of toys, shoes and small accessories. Tape bag shut. Place tag in small baggie and tape baggie to the front of large items.


Information to include on all tags:

  • PRICE
  • SELLER #
  • SIZE
  • DESCRIPTION of ITEM
  • R for REDUCED if applicable

I have some child hangers if you would like them. I have been wanting to get rid of them.

Thanks,
