Tagging Items
|
|
Consignors are responsible for pricing and tagging all items prior to the sale. Instructions on how to tag your items are given below. Following these guidelines will allow us to have a very efficient sale and keep buyers coming back sale after sale. Thanks in advance for your consistency and attention to details while preparing items! |

Making Your Tags
|
 |
Step #1: Download Tags onto Cardstock:
- Consignors need to go to the Download section of this website where TAGS are located. Once there, you may print out as many tags as you need from your printer on White Cardstock.
- Tags MUST be printed on white cardstock, as normal copy paper will not hold up throughout the sale.
Step #2: Fill in the Tags:
- Fill in the Category and the Appropriate Grade Level for each item being sold with a choice from the list below.
- We use these categories to place your items on tables, so it is important that you pick the appropriate category below where you think the item should be placed. Those titles are as follows:
| Category: |

Art
Bulletin Board Plus

- Make sure the tag is easy to read (legible) and that there are no crossed out words on your tag. If you mess up on a tag, please create a new tag.
- If you have multiple items being sold together in a set, or specialty items, please use the Description area in the middle section of your tag to give further information.
- The more specific you can be your description, the quicker your item to sell!
Step #3: Designate if you want unsold items to be Returned to you or Donated:
- Only items with a Red Circled "R" for RETURN in the Description area of the tag will be returned during Pick-Up times if unsold.
- All unsold items without a Red Circled "R" WILL BE DONATED to Charity!
- Please consider donating all unsold items, as they may benefit a family or school in need. This year, these items will be donated to Life Bridge Ministries.
Step #4: Price Your Items:
- Don't forget that your shoppers are looking for bargains, so PRICE TO SELL!!
- How much would you pay for the item?
- We suggest pricing at 25-30% of the retail price.
- We also suggest that you let your items go half-price during the half-price sale on Saturday. It is better to sell the item for half-price, than take home a garage full of unsold items after the sale!
- The minimum price for each item is $1.00
- Items must be priced in increments of $0.50 (ex: $1.50, $2.00, $2.50, etc...)
- Create a master list of how many barcodes you need for each dollar amount.
- Once you know how many tags you need for each dollar amount, you are ready to order your barcodes.
- Order all BARCODES online at the same time.
- Your barcode labels will be mailed directly to your home within 48 hours of submitting your order online.
- Your barcodes will print the price, consignor number, and barcode, as well as specify whether or not you want the item to be sold at half-price on Saturday. "ND" means NO DISCOUNT on Saturday.
- The barcode will also contain a letter in the far right-hand corner. This letter signifies the area in the gym in which you will Pick-Up all unsold items that you do not wish to donate after the sale is complete.
- Submitting more than one barcode order may incur a mailing fee from your earnings.
- If you need more barcodes, remember that we will have a barcoding station set up during Drop-Off times. Please come prepared with a list if you need additional barcodes (Ex: 3 tags for $2.00, 5 tags for $3.50, 2 tags for $6.00, etc..)
Step #5: Affix your BARCODE LABEL on the tag:
- A barcode label is REQUIRED on every tag.
- Place the barcode in the designated area of the consignor tag.
- If you have a very large item, you may choose to place one barcode label on the bottom of that item as well. This will help identify your item in case the card is lost. Please DO NOT duplicate a tag on an item.
Step #6: Attach Tags to Items with Tape:
- Tape a tag onto each individual item that you are selling.
- Please tape only on the TOP and BOTTOM areas (not on the sides) of your tag before the dotted lines. This is because all tags will need to be cut off when being sold. This will make the check-out lane move more smoothly for all shoppers.
Attach Tags to Clothing (if applicable):
- If attaching a tag to clothing, do so with using a safety pin to the tag at the top right hand side of the clothing.
- All hangers should be pointing towards the left, so that the hook looks like a question mark, with the tag attached up on the right-hand portion of that item. Look at the examples below for visual reference:
- Clothing will not be accepted if there are stains, cuts, missing buttons or other marks that would be unacceptable to parents.
- Please use safety pins to hang pants and shorts rather than folding them over the hanger.
- Cards will be removed at check-out, so please remember this as you determine how to affix your tags
