General Consignor Info - Children's February Spring/Summer Sale
* Registration fee is $10.
* We accept Paypal, check, money orders.
* Receive 70% of your sales. Volunteer to work a shift at the sale and receive 80% of your sales!
* Receive $5 shopping credit to use at the sale for EACH new consignor you refer, who brings at least 50 items to the sale.
* Once you've registered & payment has been received, you will receive your seller number & entry to the online tagging system.
* We do not currently have a minimum / maximum amount for consignors. For clothing items, most consignors bring at least 50 or more articles of clothing and we do recommended that, as the more items you bring (clothing-wise), the higher generally, the percentage of the items you sell.
* Prior consignors may keep their seller number from the previous sale. If you consigned at the last sale, simply send your payment via preferred method and reference your consignor number.
* Tags need to be printed on the specified cardstock color. We require they be printed on cardstock, as it is more sturdy than copy paper and holds up better to sales. Target & Wal-Mart carry cardstock packages at reasonable prices.
* Please make sure your tags are printing correctly. The scanner needs to be able to read the barcode or they won't scan correctly at the sale. You'll want to make sure your printer has sufficient ink, when the ink is running low, the barcodes will print wavy or too light and will not be readable by the scanner.
* Items full-price the entire sale are to be printed on white cardstock. If you do not plan to discount your items, do NOT highlight your tags, or they could sell for 1/2 price during the 1/2 price sale.
* Items that will be half-price on Saturday are to be printed on colored cardstock. You can also print on white cardstock and slash around the front of the tag with a colored highlighter. Remember to also choose the "discount yes" option when entering items in the system.Saturday is now a 1/2 price day the entire time we are open that day.
* No hand written changes to tags. If you make changes to an item in the system, you must print a new tag for that item or it won't scan correctly. Writing a small amount of additional info on the tag is acceptable (such as "Matching outfit in size 4T" )
* Consignor drop-off is throughout the day on Thursday, February 4th. Once registration completed, you will have access to the screen to select a drop-off time slot.
* Pre-Shop for consignors starts 1/2 hour before the new/expecting moms on Thursday evening.
* No time to price/tag everything you have? We offer a pricing/tagging service. Once you have registered & paid registration fee for the current sale, we can pick-up and price/tag your items. You will receive 55% of your sales. This service has limited space & you need to call ahead to make sure there is still an opening!
How do I register?
* Simply complete the online registration form (see above "Consignor Home Page" link). Payment is part of the registration process.
