YES!  The placement of the safety pin IS important!

Note: Do not place a pin anywhere else on the card.  This slows down the check-out process.

NOTE THE STRIP TO THE RIGHT OF THIS SAMPLE CARD: If you are NOT DONATING your items at the end of the sale you MUST HIGHLIGHT YOUR CARDS. Your highlight color will be determined by the first letter of your last name. Please refer to the example at the bottom of the page to determine your specific highlight color.

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

• Use only whole dollar increments (this means NO ITEMS under $1.00).

• Place a RED DOT next to the price if you DO NOT want this item to be discounted during the ½ price sale.

• SHOES MUST BE SUPER CLEAN!

• We will be accepting 10 of your very best pair. (example: NO scuffs and worn out tennis shoes)

• Shoes must be appropriate to the season

• Infant and toddler shoes must be placed in zip-loc bags with tag placed inside bag.

• For larger size shoes: tie laces together and place a safety pin thru them to secure tightly.  On shoes without laces use the appropriate size zip-loc to keep them together.  Another option is to use zip ties to hold shoes together.  Our goal is to keep pairs together with its tag.  Please use your best judgment to help make this possible.

• After filling out your 3x5 index card as pictured above,  Place your index card in a sandwich bag . 

• Tape the sandwich bag securely to each item leaving the zipper part of the bag untaped. This will make it easy to slip the card out at check-out. Use clear packaging tape only! This process will protect your card from being ripped or damaged by tape or small children. 

• Toys having loose pieces should be placed in a zip-loc bag then attached to the item as securely as possible.  (Imagine 10 toddlers surrounding your item, tape accordingly.  We are not responsible for lost or damaged pieces.)

All consignors must highlight their tags if you plan to pick-up your unsold items.  Use the chart below to find which color of highlighter to use.  Example:  If your last name begins with the letter “M” then you would use a yellow highlighter creating a band of color down the right side of each index card (notice the shaded area).
