Preparing Your Items

Pricing:

  • Ask yourself: would I buy these items at the price I am asking?
  • Usually consignors use the rule of thumb “do not price more than 50% of what it was purchased for.”
  • Keep in mind the age and condition of the item.

Tagging Materials:

  • Ziploc bags
  • Clear packing tape
  • White card stock or index cards
  • Silver safety pins
  • Zip ties
  • Wire hangers

Clothing & Hangers:

  • Clothing size 2T and up must be on wire hangers. This is for protection of the items and space on the racks. If your clothing is on plastic hangers when you check in you will be asked to rehang it all on wire hangers.
  • Clothing sizes 0 to 24 month items can use plastic or wire hangers.
  • Clothing should be attached to the hanger in a secure fashion, with large safety pins.

Pinning & Tagging:

  • The hook of the hanger should face toward the right shoulder of the item. (The hook will appear left when you look at it laying flat and face up.)
  • All tags must be printed on white card stock or index cards. No plain paper tags will be accepted.
  • The tag should be pinned with a slivertone safety pin on the left shoulder of the item. (The tag will appear right when you look at it laying flat and face up.) Do not use small gold safety pins or straight pins.
  • If your tags are pinned incorrectly, we will ask you to re-pin them so that they will show properly when hanging on the racks.
  • If the item has multiple pieces, pin them all together so they do not become separated.
  • Many dry cleaners will give you hangers, or you can purchase light-weight wire hangers from Walmart, Dollar General, etc.
  • Clothing seems to sell best when paired with coordinating items and hung as an outfit.

Toys:

  • Toys with small parts should be placed in a Ziploc bag, with the bag securely taped with clear packing tape.
  • If small parts go with a larger item, please secure the bag to the larger item with packing taping.

Shoes:

  • Shoes should be properly secured together, whether with a zip tie, in a Ziploc bag, etc. It is common for customers to want to try shoes on their children, so please keep this in mind. We find a lot of lost tags from shoes, so please attach as securely as possible.
  • One option is to enforce the corner of the tag with packing tape, hole-punch a hole there, and zip tie the shoes and tag together.
