Can I use the two-part tags and my consignor number from another sale?

  • No, our system is modeled after the largest sales in this industry.  We do not plan on going to a two-part tag at anytime.  The index card is easy to obtain and allows space for our new barcode system to be implemented.

  • Our consignor numbers and tags are specific to our sale.  You may leave the two-part tag attached to your item, but the only way we can give you credit for your item is by using our index card tagging method.  Stick with us and your tagging will be simple!

Does the safety pin need to be in the lower left hand corner of the index card? 

  • Yes, please place the safety pin in the lower left hand corner of the card and nowhere else.

  • Catch the card only once with the safety pin; this aides in speedy check-out.

  • Yes- It is OK if the card hangs down at an angle.

  • NO straight pins or tiny gold safety pins allowed.

How do I price my items?

  •  A general rule for pricing your items is to figure 30-40% of what you originally paid.  The condition of the item will raise or lower this figure. 

  • Ask yourself “What is the most I would pay for this item?”

What payments are accepted at the sale?

Ministries, Orphanages in Zimbabwe and Guatemala, and Angelic Ministries.  Any unsold item left after 7:00 pm on Friday, September 25th will be donated to worthy charities such as these.
