Consignor FAQs
The limit per consignor code is 300 items. As always, we encourage you to bring your best items so that you sell a high percentage of your things. A consignor who brings 75 great items will do better than a consignor who brings 300 items that are of lesser quality and priced too high. Aiming for 100 items is a great goal!
There are several options to get barcodes as we approach the event date: 1. MAILING BARCODES TO YOU: We offer the flexibility to have the barcodes mailed directly to your home. There is a $4 postage fee, that will be deducted from your consignor check. 2. EARLY LABEL PICK-UP: This is a time saver! There will be a couple of options to pick up your labels early and apply them at home! Check consignor links and announcements for these dates. 3. PRINT AT HOME: Print your labels at home using a COLOR PRINTER. Follow the directions that appear after you enter your items carefully. 4. BARCODES AT DROP-OFF: Barcodes will be available at consignor drop-off for you to apply in-store. Ensure all clothing is organized in the order of the barcodes. Please know applying barcodes in-store will slow down the drop-off time, and plan accordingly.
We suggest you set the price at 25% of the retail value. Baby Equipment, Furniture and Large Indoor/Outdoor Toys usually sell for more and are in high demand (price at 30-35%). We have an abundance of 0-6 month sizes, so they should be bundled in sets and must be priced competitively in order to sell. Maternity and Junior clothing are not shopped as heavily, so price these competitively, also. We also suggest that you choose to discount your items as more of your items will sell on the 25%, and half-price days! We want you to make money!!
NO...... Please reuse your number from previous sales (this helps us tremendously during our sorting process). If you can't remember it, there is a place on the "enter items" page where it can be requested.
NO, please use children's plastic hangers for sizes 8 and below. Use larger plastic hangers for sizes 10 and above. No wire hangers, please.
Wrinkled clothes do not sell as well! We will likely send them home with you at check-in if they are extremely wrinkled. Please do what is necessary to make your clothes look clean and nice. Remember, the better they look, the more likely they are to sell!
Yes, you may enter additional batches, within the 300-item limit. Just click on "new batch" on the enter items page.
Place them in a Ziploc bag and then seal the ziploc with clear packing tape. This is important! Secure the bag to the toy with tape. Put your Consignor code, description and price on the bag in case the tag gets lost. We cannot be responsible for lost toy pieces so please make sure and secure them firmly..... Saran wrap is another great way to keep things like wooden puzzles together or games closed.
PLEASE: the barcode label still goes on a string tag - DO NOT attach the sticker to the item or bag. Then attach the string tag to the item and put the tag inside the bag with the item. Make sure the tag is visible (a little clear tape can be used to hold the tag to the bag surface). Do NOT stick the barcode label to the bag. You should also write your consignor number, description and the price on the ziploc bag in case the string tag gets lost. If it's an XL bag or tote, you may want to include a picture of what's inside so shoppers know what they are buying!
We suggest you bring a laundry basket or tote, a large shopping bag, or a stroller. All large bags will need to be checked at the door.
Yes, you may send someone to pick up any remaining items and your check on pick-up day but we will NOT be able to guarantee your items. If a question were to arise, only the person who dropped off the items would know which items were put on the floor and if any were held out for some reason.
FIRST: Group all of your like items (toys, games, baby gear, clothes in order of size smallest to largest, large items like bikes and furniture). SECOND: Enter the items in the order you grouped them (NOT: 2 clothes, 1 swing, 3 more clothes, 1 toy). This will make them easier to label with barcodes and check into the store. THIRD: When entering, be descriptive! Say "navy blue chevron dress, 4T" NOT tshirt, tshirt, outfit, outfit, onesie. This will help us find (and sell) your item if the tag falls off!
We strongly suggest that you NOT bring your children to our Pre-Sale. Due to capacity restrictions, we are having to limit the number of people coming into the store, and children DO COUNT in the total.
Yes. Most of the furniture displayed in the Furniture Nook is sold in the first two days of our events. Contact Megan about bringing larger furniture items and read more about what items are not accepted before listing furniture for the event. Please price appropriately. a $300 crib should be priced at $100 or less. a $40 bookcase should be priced at $10-15. Let your items go half off for best results!! We will NOT accept any cribs manufactured before Dec 31, 2010. For cribs manufactured between Dec 31, 2010, and June 28, 2011, we can accept them if they have a certificate of compliance and have not been recalled. For cribs manufactured after June 28, 2011, we can accept them if they have not been recalled.
