Can you explain the limitations on Onesies & Sleepers?
-
We define
"onesies" as the snap-style shirts that you buy in a bag. Most
moms use these as undershirts. The snap-style shirts you buy
at Old Navy, GAP, Children's Place, etc., that are used to create an
outfit - these can be placed on hangers. Rule of Thumb:
onesies that were bought in a bag should be sold in a bag
(Gerber, Honors, etc.). You may choose to put 2 or 3
coordinating onesies in one Zip-Loc to sell for one price. We
limit ten (10) bags per consignor. There is no limit for those
nicer onesies on hangers - just make sure they are seasonally
appropriate.
-
What about
sleepers? We use the same Rule of Thumb as "onsies":
sleepers that were bought in a bag should be sold in a bag
(Gerber, Honors, etc.). You may choose to put 2 or 3
coordinating sleepers in one Zip-Loc to sell for one price. We
limit ten (10) bags per consignor. Better brands and sleeper
outfits can be placed on a hanger of which there is no limit.

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 care 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?”
